The Kosmos Collection: Opal Glass Spheres and Steel Pendants for Architectural Interiors

Kosmos is built on a specific structural logic: opal glass spheres suspended within a framework of curved, hand-polished stainless steel round profiles. Each sphere emits light in 360 degrees — there is no primary direction. Interior architects specify Kosmos for projects where the luminaire is required to register as an object rather than a light source, and where the material quality of both glass and metal needs to hold up under close scrutiny.

The Structure of Kosmos: Spheres and Profiles

Each Kosmos pendant consists of opal glass spheres — 80 mm in diameter — mounted on curved 6 mm stainless steel round profiles. The profiles are hand-polished, not machine-finished. The glass is opal, which diffuses the LED light source evenly across the full sphere surface. The LED module doubles as a structural fixing, so the sphere integrates the technical and the material without visible hardware. The overall effect is of a suspended constellation — luminous nodes held within a minimal linear structure.

Kosmos Models: Sphere Count and Scale

The Kosmos range comprises four models: 4S, 4L, 6S, and 6L. The number indicates sphere count — four or six. S and L refer to the overall scale of the configuration, determined by the length of the stainless steel profiles: S variants are more compact, L variants larger in overall spread. All models use the same 80 mm opal glass sphere. The 4-series suspends from a single canopy; the 6-series uses two. The spatial constellations are fixed per model — MOSS does not offer free configuration — which ensures structural integrity and a consistent visual result across production.

Finish Options for the Kosmos Frame

The stainless steel profiles are available in four standard finishes: Stainless Steel Polished, Gold Tone, Copper Tone, and Dark Bronze Tone. The polished stainless option exposes the material directly — the profiles reflect their surroundings with a high-clarity mirror quality. The toned finishes are applied to the stainless substrate and carry the same hand-finish depth. Custom finishes are available on request for projects with specific material requirements.

Specifying Kosmos Alongside Other MOSS Collections

Interior architects occasionally mix MOSS collections across a project — Kosmos in the entrance or lobby, Emily over the dining table, Dune in a bedroom or reading corner. Kosmos works particularly well in spaces with stone, glass, or polished concrete: materials that share its quality of surface reflection and material legibility. MOSS advises on cross-collection coherence when a full-project brief is provided.

Commission and Sample Enquiries for Kosmos

Interior architects can request Kosmos samples to assess the opal glass quality and stainless steel surface finish in context. Commission enquiries should specify model (4S, 4L, 6S, or 6L), finish, quantity, and suspension length. MOSS provides lead time estimates at enquiry stage.
