Ohm Pendant Outdoor edition by Ifö Electric - Summer Launch 2020

The Ohm Pendant Outdoor edition launched by producer Ifö Electric is a new weatherproof suspended porcelain light that brightens up the balcony, veranda or the favorite backyard tree.

The Ohm Pendant (previously launched spring 2020), widens the greater Ohm collection with its unusual splash safe feature for indoor installations. A rarely found suspended luminary attribute, and a necessary aspect to cover when installing hanging light fittings in humid environments, such as bathrooms and wellness interiors. The second launch this year, includes an additional feature. The Ohm Pendant now opens the door to our living spaces outside. Designed by Kauppi & Kauppi, inspired by the century long tradition found at Ifö Electric - Scandinavia’s only press porcelain producer.

We wanted the pendant to follow the company’s tradition of producing multipurpose luminaries that are splash safe and may travel between different types of inside- & outside rooms. It is in a way mirroring our relationship to our living spaces - where we blend and blur the lines of conventional room definitions”, says designer Nina Kauppi.

The new Ohm Pendant Outdoor comes high gloss glazed in white or black, IP44 certified and weatherproof for outdoor use. The white opal shade comes in two lengths; one for a short dense appearance, and a long shade for a more stretched silhouette. The clear glass option gives a possibility to create an individual look, when choosing a light source from today´s wide range of expressive light bulbs.

The pendant is attached to a black rubber covered cord and plug, ready to be plugged in and hung in any outdoor environment where it fulfills a purpose. Strong sun light will reflect but not affect the durable shiny glazed porcelain surface and raindrops may drip and ripple on the splash safe design, without impact.
