Puawai 420

Puawai 370

Puawai (verb): to bloom, to come to fruition
             (noun): flower

A stunning globe of twenty interlocking modular elements forming a soft flow of white petals of an ethereal gem - it’s as illuminating as it is shapely, which is why the descriptor “Sun of the Flower” makes sense.

The Puawai light shade is an example of using a mathematical shape and designing a functional form that has aesthetical appeal. Jelle knew that a globe can be constructed entirely from equilateral triangles, which is how he got to work on the Puawai. So it’s a product that’s both intelligent and beautiful. The icosahedron resembles an exotic ephemera of a stunning globe of interlocking petals.

Each element is symmetrical in shape and has connection means that allow the pieces to overlap forming a rosette that resemblance a Frangipani flower when illuminated.
