The biophilic lighting series designed for Wever & Ducré was launched at Light + Building 2018 in Frankfurt and is now available for sale. The collection of dewdrop-shaped luminaries is inspired by the hydrophobic effect that lets water drip off or adhere to surfaces and creates not merely round forms, but rather a variety of distinctive hanging, clinging and standing shapes.

Can you capture the fleeting beauty of a dewdrop? You can.

“But only if you focus on the phenomenon behind it,” explain 13&9 Design.“ The hydrophobic effect that lets water drip off or adhere to surfaces creates not merely round forms, but rather a variety of distinctive hanging, clinging and standing shapes. This is exactly what the concept of this biophilic design luminaire is based on.” Sounds too theoretical? Then just sit back and watch these shimmering glass forms that are available in smoky white and smoky grey unfold their atmospheric effect.
