Collapsible Moon, the new lamp signed Pallucco, is a project by Japanese designer Kazuhiro Yamanaka. Born in Tokyo and specialized in London, Kazuhiro Yamanaka reflects in this project his style between simplicity and advanced technology, typical of the Japanese world, and attention to design and research learned during his studies in London.
The name and form of Collapsible Moon refer to astronomy on one side, drawing inspiration from the full moon that illuminates the night with its light, and on the other side to the world of photography, in particular to reflectors used for photo shoots. The result is a linear design that seems to be very simple yet it hides a unique character. The simplicity of this lamp ends when the interaction with it begins: the perfect illuminated circle can smoothly collapse or expand due to the soft structure similar to that of a reflector. Collapsible Moon thus becomes an object that can be easily stored and transported.
Collapsible Moon is made of a special technical fabric used in the world of sports, which refracts and has an invisible zip. The frame of the circle is made of tempered spring steel coated with black rubber on one side, ensuring the right movement when manipulating the lamp. A LED strip, available in different colours, is placed inside the edge of the frame and diffuses the light toward the center of the circle. The result is a fully illuminated circle, just like a full moon.
