Inspired by rocket engines and astrodynamics, the RBW Delta I Pendant is a pleated fabric shade that evokes the precision of a mechanical gear. The fluted texture, based on traditional box pleating techniques, enhances the rich materiality of the fabric while creating attractive ambient and direct light. The rounded octagonal shape propels an otherwise classic lantern shape in to a modern context with a soft edge.

A take-off on the three design partners' names (Theo Richardson, Charles Brill and Alexander Williams), RBW is a team that can stand to do a little bragging (although they never would). Established in 2007, Rich Brilliant Willing has achieved amazingly swift and widespread success with their modern lighting, furniture and home accessory designs.
