Oh Lloyd!

Oh Lloyd! is a contemporary pendant light that takes its form from the mathematical shape the Oloid. Its unusual form is both captivating and dynamic, seeming to morph as you walk around it - at one angle you see a teardrop shape, at an adjacent angle you see an inverted teardrop, and at every point in between you see the body appear to morph from the former to the later.

Oh Lloyd’s design is unique in the way the light assembly is installed within the light. Along the top edge of the body is a slot. By squeezing at either end the slot opens up, much like a mouth. This allows enough clearance to place the body over the light assembly before releasing the pressure and allowing the ‘mouth’ to close onto the light fixings.
