Studio Flaer's Suspended Yet Angle-Adjustable Piuma Lighting Fixture
I worked on similar designs for a lighting brand some years ago. The designer had the same idea and solution - a suspended asymetric pendant with an ajustable counter weight. It was a nightmare project and it was left to us product developers to point out to the designer and brand owner the fact that the lamp would rotate freely because it hung from a cord. It could not be fixed at an angle, wind currents in the space where the lamp was installed would cause it to move and rotate constantly. The brand continued to try to solve this lamp long after I left them without succes becuase they stubbonly would not accept they had to use a rod to fix the lamp to a ceiling bracket.
Two thoughts: air currents, and cords or batteries.
