Drawing inspiration from the traditional Chinese rice paper lanterns, the Danish design duo looked to find a material that brought a contemporary feel to the classic silhouette. Striking and dramatic, Iskos-Berlin introduced the revolutionary 3D knitting technique to create the round Knit-Wit Pendant Light’s unique and highly effective shade.
With a selection of colours and sizes to choose from, the shade can be combined with other variations and shapes, like the Made By Hand Knit-Wit Pendant Light - High, creating a beautiful and impactful arrangement.
Iskos–Berlin Design is a partnership of Boris Berlin and Aleksej Iskos. The company works within the fields of industrial, furniture and graphic design. Boris and Aleksej have been working together for several years before establishing their company Iskos–Berlin in 2010.
In 1987, Boris co-founded Komplot Design, where Aleksej was employed as an assistant for more than 11 years. This long and fruitful cooperation has allowed them to develop a shared philosophy of design. In their own words: “We see design as an art of storytelling. This story is normally quite complex, consisting of semantics, morphology, materiality, technology of objects and many other elements. But the clearer your story is, the more likely people are to understand it. The more surprising you make your story, the more likely they are to remember it. And finally the more you make people smile, the more likely they are to love it!”
