It looks some­what retro at first, but there is a post­mod­ern mes­sage illu­mi­nated by the above pen­dant light – and no, the end of the ‘G’ is not miss­ing: in Ger­man the word for light is ‘licht’.  These series of light­ing schemes by Robert Hoff is actu­ally course­work for school, but would no doubt do well if they were to be for sale some­day too. In each lamp or set thereof, the designer takes sim­ple mate­ri­als – wire, sheet metal and a bulb – to cre­ate some­thing that has depth and detail of shape and shadow that seem to go beyond the sim­ple mate­ri­als themselves.
