Medusa takes its cue from the sea. Manel Molina designed it in 2023 as two glass components with different finishes that recall the soft bodies of marine animals.
Carpyen speaks of a magical, ethereal atmosphere, and the glass gives it a depth most pendants lack.
The Design Story
Medusa's charm lies in its layers. Transparency, soft shapes and intense color blend inside and out, creating a drifting, almost aquatic effect, under an outer cover of tinted glass. The light is projected through that tinted cover, so the glow takes on its hue. The pendant measures 28 cm (11.0 in) across and 22.3 cm (8.8 in) high, on a lacquered metal structure. Colors are black, blue, mustard and terracotta. Carpyen makes it in Barcelona.
About the Designer
Manel Molina is an industrial designer and founder of Lúcid, a Barcelona studio for strategy, innovation and product development. His designs start from observing how people actually live, and result in clean-lined objects made to last, balancing form, function and industrial process.
Why You'll Love It
The pleasure of Medusa is in the evening: as the LED warms from 3000 K down to 1800 K, the light moves from clear white to candle-like amber, and the glass seems to deepen. Each color has its own mood, from sea-blue to terracotta. It is a statement piece at a modest scale, and the glass makes it a conversation starter.
Where It's Best Placed
Medusa looks best where its glass can be seen: over a bedside, a console, a bar or in a row above a counter. It is made for indoor, dry rooms. Have a qualified electrician install it.
