Crafted from pure American walnut, the Congonhas Pendant Lamp was designed by Gisela Bentes Simas inspired by an airplane wing, specifically the Boeing 737-800. It reminds her of a mix of technology, movement and freedom.
After the prototype was ready we have exhibited Congonhas at London Dsign Festival and at the London design museum in London.
Available on 3 sizes, this elegant wing form looks striking as a dining room, or living room, centerpiece.
