underside view of the mirrored hexagonal lamp which creates a kaleidoscopic effect

dutch-based designer frederike top was recently commissioned to develop a custom, exclusive lamp for rabobank in utrecht, the netherlands. titled ‘caleidoscope XL’, the large scale hexagonal hanging light is made from stainless steel and fits within the environment of the banking group’s ‘ornamentroom’ in which it is situated.

when one looks at the underside portion of the lamp an arrangement of triangular mirrors creates a kaleidoscopic effect, reflecting what sits directly below.
