A cast brass pendant light ‘Bullet’ designed by independent lighting studio NEW LIGHT POTTERY. Initially, the product was developed for commercial space that required simple pendant lights, and they improved the design for mass production.
You can feel the weight on your hand because the designer wanted to embody the solid materiality. It is available in 2 finishes, polished brass finish with no coating and black finish using traditional Japanese techniques with lacquering.
After released Bullet (for E26) and Bullet small (for E17), the types of models have increased, such as the additional disc-like lampshade which aims to cut light in the upward direction, and the two types of round shade. Also, the original parts have been repurposed with glass and stand to made even more model varieties.
