Introducing the Less Lamp Pendant by Metalarte, a sealed lamp shade that is personalized by the user. The shell of the Less Lamp Pendant needs to be broken in order to release the light trapped within. The pendant’s diffuser is cracked using a specially designed hammer.

The appearance and position of the hole is dependent upon the user’s techniques, how much light is required and where it needs to be directed. The Less Lamp Pendant presents a totally opaque ceramic diffuser, in enameled black or white.
