Watch S is for Serpentine

BY FRONT

A NATURAL AND CONTINUOUS FLOW Serpentine Light, by Front, originated from playing with a piece of paper, discovering the limits of the different shapes it could adopt. Inspiration came from using the tension of the paper itself, making the surface flow naturally; without losing the continuous flow. They realised the twisting was made easier when using an S-shape. The suspension light comprises four S-shapes, twisted into cones and fashioned together to create an intricate spiralling shape.

The curves are outlined in a darker colouration, as well as supported by spokes, giving the design a pleasant riveting effect. The flow and curve of the material is very natural, coming together in a mathematical way.

The design’s strong character and illusion of perpetual movement makes it fit a lot of different environments. The lightweight material and the space between each cone, makes the Serpentine Light a very natural and airy suspension light. It can be easily multiplied in a larger space, the illusion of perpetual movement offering a fun and enchanting effect.
