Onda

When hot glass settles across a steel mould, the edge it leaves is uneven. The usual move is to trim it. Onda keeps it, so every shallow glass wave differs slightly from the next, and a cluster of them reads as one family rather than one product repeated.

The engineering lives in a blackened-brass bridge that holds the LED and the driver. It lifts out for service without touching the suspension cables. Two light channels: the glass itself gives a soft lateral shimmer, and a microprismatic optic underneath gives glare-controlled light for the table. They dim together or separately.

It is designed to hang alone over a table for four, or in loose clusters at different heights over a longer communal table, a reception desk, a quiet corner of a hotel. The glass edge should sit just above seated sightlines.

Three full-size trials. The first had a shadow in the centre of the table; the second ran the bridge too hot. The third is the one on this page.
