Suspended Light In Perfect Balance
DUET is a luminous mouth-blown opaline sphere resting atop a modern reinterpretation of the Doric form, paired with a twin suspended at its side. This precise composition of spheres and a linear pillar creates a dialogue between weight and lightness, capturing a moment of balance and quiet tension in its design.

Duet Pendant Light
DUET distills the essence of classical architecture into a refined, modern form. A linear column anchors three opaline glass spheres, balancing structure with weightlessness. Every connection is reduced to its most essential detail, creating a seamless interplay between material, proportion, and light.

“DUET light elevates the ordinary opal glass sphere through refined detailing, creating a timeless piece. Its pure, modern silhouette complements any interior with effortless simplicity.”
DUET Light layers subtle luxury through its refined column detailing, with delicately finished ends that define its form. Balanced by mouth-blown opal glass, it captures a quiet moment of tension - where structure and light meet in perfect equilibrium.

Reflecting craftsmanship
From prototype to the manufacturing process
Due to the nature of the design, we realize that the plastic/ ABS injection is best suitable for the production methods as we try to retain the single piece aesthetic of the blades without any seamline. Because of the proportion of the blade, the mould itself creates difficulty throughout the process. Still, by fine-tuning the pressure and source of the raw material, we are able to achieve retain the original design that meets the mass production standard during final production.
The torsion of the blade design
Torque is to minimize the elements of the ceiling fan design. The design starts with different concepts on concealing the central housing and studying various forms. We find a solution using the single-piece blade design that is suitable. The blade allows the fan to reach harmonious order and then adjust its curving to balance the overall proportion.
