Atomheart has been created with inspiration from the Sci-Fi design universe, where everything is possible and nothing is inconceivable. As such Sci-Fi and Atomheart are a tribute to imagination as one of mankind's most important qualities. The lamp itself is a fantasy over the classic presentation of the atom, where the paths of the particles form concentric lines around the nucleus and together sketch out a dynamic spherical body.

Atomheart is available in two different pendant sizes and as a table and a floor lamp. All four variants are made of hand-blown acid frosted opal glass in three layers, which in the pendant lamps encircle the light source all the way round and are crowned by a white high-gloss suspension. A black textile cord leads out from the centre of this circle forming a contrast to the white look of the pendant. The high-gloss lacquered finish of the pendant suspension is repeated in the foot and base of the table and floor lamp, which here gives an exciting contrast to the frosted glass of the shade.

When the lamp is lit, the design of the shade forms contrasts which enhance the impression of the form of the glass, where no two angles are alike, but change all the way round. So the lamp appears as a complex and distinctive light source with a life of its own.
