The moon, sun, stars and other astronomical bodies have always been and will always be a source of inspiration for artists and designers for creating various romantic and dreamy objects and works of art. We’ve already shared several moon-inspired lamps: Moon Lunar table lamp, ambiental Luna sphere lamp and Lunair wall lamp inspired by moon eclipses. Today we are sharing one more piece inspired by the moon, and it’s a flexible and practical Moon lamp.

Japanese designer Kazuhiro Yamanaka brings about an unexpected twist to lighting furniture with his collapsible moon lamp. Thanks to a photo reflecting structure, the user can manipulate the object in such a way to make it expand or collapse.

For the lighting feature, Kazuhiro Yamanaka has embedded a LED strip which is located inside the edge of the spring steel frame — towards the center of the circle. As a result, the extended surface of the lamp illuminates itself like a full moon. The colors of the LED can also be changed to obtain different hues and ambiances. The design of the lamp is universal and simple, it will easily fit any modern interior, you can hang it on the wall or place right on the floor, so cool for parties!
