Medusa Tinted Glass Wall or Ceiling Light by Carpyen
Medusa Tinted Glass Wall or Ceiling Light by Carpyen

/
Medusa draws on the grace of marine creatures. Manel Molina built it from two glass components with different finishes, so transparency, soft curves and saturated color seem to float into one another.
Carpyen describes a magical, ethereal atmosphere, created by the subtle interplay of light and color.
The Design Story
Molina designed Medusa in 2023 as a wall or ceiling light, and the design is all about the encounter between its two glasses. One is tinted, one finished differently, and together they recall the layered bodies of jellyfish. The light passes directly through the outer cover of tinted glass, which gives a soft, diffused glow.
Four colors are offered: black, blue, mustard and terracotta. It is made in Barcelona by Carpyen, which has been building lighting there since 1948.
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
When lit, Medusa warms the wall around it with whatever color its glass carries. The light shifts from 1800 K, candle-like and intimate, to 3000 K, so the mood can be turned down for the evening. It is a piece that holds a room together, a central feature with a slightly mysterious air. Terracotta and mustard feel sunlit and Mediterranean, while blue and black are deeper and more nocturnal.
Where It's Best Placed
It suits entrances, bedrooms, dining areas and any wall or ceiling that deserves a focal point. It is intended for indoor, dry rooms.
