Kepler: The Light From Another Dimension
The Kepler lighting disc is the first in our range of luminaires for Innermost Lighting. The hanging disc uses light refraction combined with a holographic fabric to create an illusion of depth or infinity.
Light Invention
With Cohda’s experience in emerging lighting tech, Innermost Lighting approached us with a challenge to develop a minimal lightweight hanging luminaire that could offer maximum visual impact with minimal material count. This lead to an R&D study into the movement of LED light patterns married with specialist optical fabrics that could replace traditional optics to scatter light points. Kepler was born from this research study.

Playing with Light
Kepler’s unique fabric and LED arrangement allows single light points to be scattered over a large thin surface area that continually refract to give the illusion of infinity. The fine material, which has been likened to hosiery, creates a fascinating effect which resembles that of a kaleidoscope of light rays. The 10mm thick lightweight unit is fully adjustable at installation with 350 degrees of movement around the X axis and 360 on the Y, thus making any position possible.
While Kepler is unique and intriguing as a stand alone piece, layering the transparent units creates a truly dazzling effect when grouped, as they refract light between one another. This offers the opportunity to create huge and impressive light installations using very compact and lightweight units.
Evolving Range
The Original Kepler Pendants are available in 65 and 95 variants. Offering full movement around both the X and Y axis, the pendants can be positioned in multiple ways, offering a range of installation options. The Kepler range has also evolved to include a floor standing Kepler and Kepler Halo with an added aluminium outer ring to easily fit the technical specifications of offices and studios while maintaining the kaleidoscope of light rays.
