On February 20, 1962, John Glenn was the first American to orbit Earth with the spacecapsule"Friendship7" as a part of Project Mercury, Nasa's first human spaceflight program.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of this event, the two Munich-based Interior Designers, Greg Faubel and Didi Sauer, are bringing the fascination of space travel into your own home with the two-year development project called "Mercury" Pendant Luminaire.
Based on LED technology, the Mercury transforms its hanging space with on flick of a finger into your personal orbit lounge.
Touching the Mercury's shade changes the light mode from indirect to direct.
