The Turner Pendant

The Turner Pendant is a cocoon-like pendant that is made in Italy. The composite material that makes up its moody shape is sprayed onto a steel frame during a three-step process. First, a fiber web is created around the metal frame, then a coating that its designers Mats Broberg and Johan Ridderstråle call cocoon plastic is sprayed on. Finally, a protective top-coat seals the surface for extra durablility. The combination of these materials creates a soft glow as illumination wafts through the shade, which feels moon-like. Pholc, the manufacturer of the cream-colored pendant, went to great lengths to engineer a frame that would ensure no unwanted shadows interfered with the pendant’s ethereal feel.
