Vantot
For Dutch duo VANTOT, it's all in the name. Literally translated from Dutch to mean 'from to,' VANTOT focuses on the entire process, starting with a technique and ending with the product. The pair, Sam & Esther, strives to find new applications for innovations in everyday life, and it's not only new-found technologies that have seized their interest. Serving as a guiding light in the duo's work, antiquated techniques are put to good use in modern-day outlets, mutually benefiting from today's updated knowledge base. Take electricity. Although light bulbs have been around for centuries, innovations – such as the rise of LEDs – have made continuous evolution possible. And today, electronic devices operate on much lower voltages than ever before, significantly decreasing their hazardous aspects. While direct contact with electricity and light used to be a no-go, recent developments illuminate new realms for the old technology.Vantot
While it opens up a world of design opportunities, LED requires a different approach than conventional lighting. Compared to traditional fixtures, the focused and dense light of LED calls for multiple light sources instead of one.

The disk-shaped Polar Play floats in the air like a UFO. A split brass skeleton of multi-angled arms supports not only the large disk-shaped light diffusor but also powers eighteen LEDs lighting up your space evenly.

Electric current is often perceived as something frightening, but what would it be like if low voltage would be the new normal? Would we still be afraid to touch it? How can we implement electric components as part of the design, instead of hiding them? These are just some of the questions that VANTOT used as a guiding light while designing their collections Feather, Polar Play and V-V-V. VANTOT based their collection on the idea that electric current is a fundamental part of the home interiors.

Limpid Lights continues on the idea of manipulating the light with movement. By moving the light-source closer to, or further away from the lighting object, the intensity of the light can be adapted. While the initial LED-light is fresh and bright, the handblown glass shades can be used to soften the light and create a more intimate ambiance. By moving the light source, the light can be playfully adapted from bright to a more diffuse, soft and/or coloured light.

The modular design of the V-V-V light curtain uses bare, anodised aluminum and copper elements suspended between stainless steel cables. Each separate lighting element consists of 4 LEDs tucked behind thin sheets of acrylic to soften the emitted light. The elements can be clipped directly onto the conductive wire curtain structure, meaning their frequency and height can be adjusted accordingly. The V-V-V- structure can be used to create a singular solitary column with a few lighting elements, or built up to combine multiple rows, creating a striking curtain that lights up a wall or partitions your space.

O-O-O is a customisable stainless steel structure that conducts electricity to LEDs that provide subtle illumination. The lightweight curtain can be built to any size, as the number and frequency of the lights in the composition can be adjusted accordingly.

Mono is an elegant ceiling lamp composed of an LED orb that illuminates and balances a partly satin-finished glass halo. The on-off function and brightness of the light can be regulated by pinching a wand that extends from the light structure. The light is endowed with a memory for the illumination from the previous session, making it considerate and familiar to its users. Mono is designed with glass that diffuses the light to create a comfortable and serene atmosphere. With gravity as its anchor, the halo is detached from the central orb so that it can be slanted and adjusted according to your liking. The adaptable functions complement the timeless and unique aesthetics, aligning Mono with Studio Vantot’s human-centered and long-lasting design vision. The orb is available in two variable sizes, while the halo comes in three diameters.

Cosmos is the largest lighting figure in Vantot’s collections. The vertical chandelier concept was inspired by traditional/industrial design combined with a high-tech production process. Cosmos is a stackable chandelier lighting fixture with a traditionally industrial function and aesthetic. Hand-cut glass bulbs made by Czech glassblowers emit a warm glow that contrasts the steel structure that transmits the electricity for the light. Material: Steel, Handblown glass, Handcutted glass. Light: Voltage 100-240V, IP 20, Lifespan of LED >50000 hours, Colour temperature Dim to warm, Driver 24 V, CRI 85
