Galaxy is a pendant lamp, designed in 1949, a product of the genius of Charles and Ray Eames, who assembled brass tubing and automotive components inside a wooden sphere. This masterpiece, displayed at “An Exhibition for Modern Living” at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1949 and put into production for the first time by Cassina in 2024, is available in two sizes and three finishes for home use as well as in spaces like restaurants, hotels, and lounges.
The company has industrially developed this explosion of light in close collaboration with the Eames Office (the design studio founded by Charles and Ray in 1941) and through in-depth research work, implementing modern technologies and materials while still safeguarding the research process employed by the two designers.
The pendant light is composed of a centre sphere that holds 36 rods of different lengths, each with its own LED light source, as if to evoke a star-studded sky. Cassina has innovated the original design with the addition of a 'plug & play' system that allows the rods to be inserted into the sphere to illuminate the space, while at the same time allowing the size of the packaging to be extremely small, compared to the dimensions of the final product.
I MAESTRI
Charles Ormand Eames Jr., a nearly-licensed architect, and Ray-Bearnice Alexandra "Kaiser", an abstract painter, are cemented into the canon of 20th-century design. Since uniting in 1940, these partners in life and work have been internationally recognized at the forefront of the design, architecture, filmmaking, and furniture communities.
