This lamp was born almost as an experiment to see how possible it was to re-use and old pendant which had a broken spherical glass bulb.

The target was to use very simple materials to recall the nordic minimalistic design and re-create the old sphere silhouette.

​

The name Mellån in fact, derives from the Swedish "mellan" which means "between", but the "å" changed makes it pronounced more like "melon" which it is resembled by the 2 circles.  A Plumen Bulb is used here with the purpose to make it the centre of attraction into the double circles.

​

The result is an interesting piece of design which stands out in the living room and recalls many of the lamps in production from the 50s on.
