The Unexpectedly Playful NomNom Light

NomNom Light is about playful minimalism with unexpected logic. The
silhouette is simple, but it has an unexpected playfulness to it that keeps you looking,” said designer Odin Visser. Created for lifestyle brand Moooi, the contemporary, versatile suspension light adds to their overall collection.

Visser’s goal for the NomNom Light was to design something playful yet elegant, simple in functionality but visually intriguing. It doesn’t get more simplistic than a sphere and two straight lines, the only components of the light. The two lines gently squeeze the glass sphere, holding it in place and giving the illusion of chopsticks picking up a bite of food. The minimal design makes NomNom ideal for use in a corner or suspended above a side table – or opt to group several lights together for a more dramatic effect over a dining table or in the entryway.

NomNom is available in six colors: Nori, Wasabi, Ginger, Blossom, Indigo, and Ruby. Moooi’s Wireless Wall Switch – available in White and Anthracite – gives you full control over the light with a single touch and needs no electricity (excluding the 110V version). Its most interesting function is that it uses an energy harvesting technique, which means that it charges itself as you use it! A full dimming range provides bright light for tasks such as reading or cooking and low light when the mood calls.
