Pandia Glass Collection

Bringing together two esteemed Australian brands, Unios and Chris Connell, this collaboration explores the concept of simplicity in lighting through the lens of Australian design. By blending Unios’ expertise in innovative lighting solutions with Chris Connell’s distinctive design philosophy, Pandia was born — a timeless, functional, and elegantly minimalistic lighting concept that embodies the essence of Australian craftsmanship and creativity.

An Expression of Moonlight
Inspired by the familiar and soothing sight of a full moon, Pandia features clear glass with intricate honeycomb details, casting a welcoming direct light. Surrounding the form, a soft glow, created by the opaque edge of the glass, mimics the moon’s gentle halo, adding depth and warmth to any space.

A Sense of Quietude
When switched off, Pandia seamlessly blends into its surroundings with its soft, and understated form. When illuminated, it emits a warm, inviting light rich in nuances, fostering a serene and atmospheric ambiance.

The Duality of Glass
Pandia’s cast glass features a delicate honeycomb imprint, creating a captivating interplay between light and material. From a distance, the glass and light appear as one, while up close, the intricate honeycomb structure and opaque edge reveal a deeper complexity within the illumination.

A Purposeful Light
Designed as a forward-throw wall light, Pandia casts a warm glow that enhances the ambiance of any space. When used as a pendant, it takes on a functional role while maintaining a soft and refined presence.

Thoughtful Proportions
Designed with a focus on balance, Pandia’s side profile features three equal segments, creating a harmonious form. The carefully positioned light source balances direct and indirect illumination, reducing contrast between light and background for a seamless visual experience.
