One of the most vexing problems for those of us chasing a clutter-free aesthetic in the modern world is the mess of charging cords. We all have them—crisscrossing our otherwise perfect living rooms, and somehow getting more in the way each day than previously thought possible. With wireless, we can remove this pain point entirely. San Francisco-based Gantri has long been changing the lighting game, offering 3D printed, considered lighting for the home, office, and beyond. The innovation continues with Gantri Wireless by Ammunition, a new product category that will feature 10 original designs as well as five new colorways as part of their 10th anniversary celebration.
Drift is composed of two distinct components: a cylindrical base, slender in proportion, supporting a smooth satin form on top, organic in nature. A river rock sitting just atop the surface of the water, light instead shines down upon the surroundings below, creating a warm glow from a cool source.
Eave features a nifty little handle, a beautiful and portable way to light up the night. With a translucent shade, light is both diffused through the shade, and down on to it’s resting surface. A distinct patterning creates a rippled effect, concentric circles cascading in regularity for an elegant yet approachable finish. This lamp carries echoes of the porches of Craftsman bungalows, cornices of bright Victorians, and the Chinatown gate—all nods to the fabric of San Francisco where where Gantri and Ammunition were founded.
With Pier, you can have it all. A task light, mood lighting, and a statement piece – all in a playfully abstracted support beam. Each iteration is meant to support the architecture of a life in motion, and as modern humans, we’ll need a bit of light to do that.
With Gantri Wireless, 5 new colorways enter the mix. A rich green Spruce, a burgundy red Manzanita, bright and botanical Lilac, refined Magnolia, and an electric yellow Lichen are inspired by details drawn from the California landscape.
“Throughout human history, we conceived of ways for light to move with us, whether through candle, torch, or lantern. Then, we tethered it to the wall. With Gantri Wireless, we’re returning light to its older state—something
that lives with you, moves with you, and shapes how you experience a space in a more human way”, says Gantri founder Ian Yang.
Gantri Wireless is powered by Gantri Helia. The first iteration of the platform offers two different battery sizes, each capable of a wide range of lighting and performance options. Each slim casing houses a battery, drivers, and connectivity via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and connects to an LED array, capacitive touch interface, and charging base. Each stainless steel base is designed to be unobtrusive and intuitive, simply placing the lamp on the base to charge. Not magnetized, it is meant to offer as similar an experience as if you had just lifted it off of any surface. This intuition of human behavior, along with intentional feedback loops that our bodies crave, are essential to the Gantri design ethos. As they complete ten years and look beyond, we’re excited to see what’s next.
