The lantern pendant that thinks it's a jellyfish.



Nidaria is an expression of materiality: the structure is held in tension by a central cord, allowing three layers of translucent drafting film to bulge organically. The drafting film strips are contained by nested hexagons, made from scorched poplar. As a user adjusts the length of the cord, the frame compresses and the beam angle spreads.

​



















































Nidaria only hints at its colours while turned off, but the innermost strips of drafting film are printed with a bold gradient that illuminate like warning stripes for would-be predators.























































Nidaria gets its name from the phonetic pronunciation of "Cnidaria", the phylum of the box jellyfish.
