Crooner lights

The Crooner lights were developed as a way of combining rapid prototyping technology and an innovative LED light source with traditional production methods. Six different pendant shapes were designed digitally and printed as 3-dimensional solid objects, which were then used by a 150-year-old foundry in Berlin to create molds for the final series of cast-metal lights. Their aluminium bodies serve as oversized heat sinks whose cooling fins dissipate the energy generated by the high-power LED bulbs within.

The Crooner family of lights consists of six different pendant shapes.

The Crooner Family consists of six different lamp bodies.

The charakterising cooling fins increase the surface area of the bodies and thereby dissipate the thermal energy more efficiently.
