About Tangent Pendant Light
Tangent is a pendant light designed for architectural spaces. The form is based on geometric patterns created from circles and their tangents. Each pattern can be adapted to the character of a space or shaped according to user preference, so the dimensions vary by project. The body is made from an extruded aluminium profile that is bent into the chosen pattern. An LED light is fitted inside the profile. The top cap and the diffuser are laser cut and attached to the body. The aim is a tailored lighting solution for each interior.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This innovative lighting system adapts seamlessly to its surroundings, with dynamic geometric patterns that enhance both aesthetics and functionality. Its fully customizable design allows users to create unique configurations, ensuring a tailored lighting solution for any space. By responding to spatial characteristics, it provides a harmonious blend of adaptability, personalization, and visual impact.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by Armin Hofmann’s geometric studies, our lighting design explores the connection between circles and their tangents. This approach enabled us to create adaptable patterns that respond to both the spatial context and the objects they illuminate. By refining these patterns for both form and function, we enhance the interplay of light and shadow, enriching the atmosphere while ensuring that the design is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally effective in the space.
- Research
- In designing this product, we explored geometric principles and graphic patterns, ultimately drawing inspiration from the work of Swiss graphic designer Armin Hofmann. Using his principles, we developed a series of patterns specifically suited to our space. We analyzed the challenges of constructing patterns derived from the tangent connections of circles, which guided us through the detailed design and manufacturing process of the lighting fixtures. For the body profile, we optimized the design using aluminum extrusion, ensuring a perfect fit for the top aluminum cap, bottom diffuser, and adequate space for LED installation.
- Challenge
- The challenges of this process include creating unique patterns that are both functional and visually striking. Additionally, transforming two-dimensional patterns into large-scale lighting products posed its own difficulties. Finding the best solution for manufacturing these designs while maintaining their visual and functional integrity was a key challenge, ensuring that the final product would meet both aesthetic and technical requirements.
- Realization and Technology
- After determining the desired pattern based on the functionality and spatial needs of each project or user preferences, the extruded body profile undergoes the bending process. The LED light is then installed inside the profile. Following this, the top cap and diffuser are laser-cut and attached to the body. This process ensures that each component fits precisely, providing a seamless and efficient lighting solution tailored to the specific requirements of the space.
- Operation and Interaction
- This design interacts simultaneously with both the environment and the user. The pattern can either be directly designed by the user or created to suit a specific space. Additionally, this customization capability aligns with the functional needs of the space, enhancing its architectural synergy. By allowing users to personalize the design, the lighting solution fosters a dynamic relationship between the space, its purpose, and the people who inhabit it.
- Project Duration and Location
- Conceived in July 2024, this innovative lighting concept was developed over six months in Vienna, Austria, by January 2025.
- Specifications
- Due to the customization capabilities for each individual and project, the dimensions can vary accordingly.
