The plastic of the lamp is transparent, which creates a cosy mood light when you turn it on.

The strings work like a manual dimmer – when you pull them a distance is created between the parts of the globe and light flows out.

The glowing globe

David Wahl was an industrial designer before joining IKEA in 2010. David Wahl designed another three products for the IKEA PS collection 2014. He remembers it as a long and challenging design process: “At IKEA we have a concept called Democratic Design, which every product has to live up to in terms of form, function, sustainability, quality and price. It’s a way of making sure we always offer high-quality design for the many people.”

David quickly came up with the pendant lamp’s beautiful form, but it took a lot of hard work to meet the other demands of Democratic Design, including the low price.

Scandinavia, the “comeback kid”

Eighteen young Scandinavian designers created a collection with a strong, simple profile that would follow in the Scandinavian design tradition. It was called IKEA PS, as it was a kind of post script or addendum to the standard range. At the 1995 furniture fair in Milan, IKEA PS was presented under the theme of Democratic Design. The term summarised the company’s ambition to create products of good design and function, at low prices.

The first IKEA PS collection was very well received. New collections have since returned regularly. Over the years, both Swedish and international designers have contributed products under different themes. The common denominator for all the collections has been to develop Scandinavian design and make good design available to the many people.

Designer Thoughts

"I've always been a big fan of science fiction, which is easy to guess when you see IKEA PS 2014 pendant lamp. When it's closed, only a little light finds its way through the small gaps and transparent plastic of the globe, but a pull of the strings creates a distance between the parts and light flows out. The shape looks like a spaceship, but this lamp is much easier to assemble. You just click the parts together and it’s ready to float over the dining area or coffee table.”
