Sleeping Quetzal is a 2022 shortlisted design award by IDEA.
Sleeping Quetzal is a lighting pendant, conceptualized in the moment of a mighty and elegant snake resting on a log. Evoking tranquility and fluidity through a metaphorical and literal light reflection.
The body is a water-cut and precisely bent brass sheet, polished on the inside so the light can bounce from one side to the other. The outer layer is convered by sustainable and responsibly sourced leather. As a result a beautiful and warm pendant from the inside out.
Delicately rested in LED tube with 360 lightbeam. LED operates in cold conditions, with no heat or UV emission, keeping the material safe and giving it a long lifespan.
