Medusa is a pendant lamp conceived as a dynamic, transformable lighting object, where light becomes both function and movement.
A manual sliding mechanism moves the modules along a supporting cable, opening or closing the fabric strips and reshaping both the lamp and its light: compact, it concentrates the glow; extended, it becomes a taller, quieter presence.
The name Medusa reflects this fluid, organic behavior, recalling the motion of tentacles that transform in space.
The structure is a base, a movable upper module and a counterweight connected by a supporting cable. A single LED in the base feeds the optical fibers, so the whole fabric glows evenly, with no LEDs spread across the surface. Magnetic connectors hold the fiber strips and let them be reconfigured. Compact, the lamp is about 80 cm wide; extended, it reaches up to 130 cm in height.
