ONSJÖ chandelier
When we give a designer at IKEA free hands the most amazing things usually happen - like with ONSJÖ chandelier.
We asked designer Sigga Heimis to create an extraordinary lamp using the new LED technology. LED has revolutionized how lamps can be designed, because the small diodes take almost no room at all. And it may have been the size of the small diodes that made Sigga think of fireflies swarming at night, as she lay in her bathtub gazing at the ceiling. That’s when Sigga got the idea, and she came back with a sketch of ONSJÖ.
It didn’t turn out to be a bathroom lamp after all, but a decorative lamp that can replace any glass chandelier. The diodes sit inside metal tubes that have been formed into a big flower.
What happens if a diode breaks? That’s the smart thing with LED. They don’t break. They either work or they don’t. And because we test all lamps before we put them in the package, we know that they work.
LED has a lifetime of at least 20,000 hours and uses as much as 85% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. That’s equal to about 3 hours of daily use for 20 years and helps you reduce your energy consumption. Not bad for a gang of fireflies!
