For the creative duo Iskos-Berlin, design is the art of storytelling. Produced by MENU, Dancing Pendant is elegant and sophisticated but with a playful touch. With its dancer-like appearance, the Dancing Pendant lamp is like a delicate sculpture. It is made from felt, a 100% recycled material produced mainly from waste water bottles.Discover the whole range of MENU luminaires. Contact us for further information.
Founded in 2010, Iskos-Berlin is the result of a long-standing partnership between Boris Berlin and Aleksej Iskos. The studio's work lies at the crossroads of industrial design, furniture and graphic design. Over the years, their fruitful collaboration has enabled them to develop and share the same design philosophy. "We see design as the art of storytelling. This history is normally relatively complex, made up of semantics, morphology, materiality, the technology that makes up the objects and other elements. But the clearer your story, the more likely people are to understand it. And the more surprising your story, the more likely they are to remember it. And finally, the more you make people smile, the more likely they are to like it," they explain. "We seek to explore with new technologies and materials and understand the impact on everyday objects." The work of the duo Boris Berlin and Aleksej Iskos, who respectively graduated from the Institute of Applied Art and Design in St Petersburg in 1975 and the Institute of Industrial Design in Denmark in 1996, is exhibited in numerous museums around the world, including the MoMa and the Danish Design Museum. Their many collaborations with Normann Copenhagen, Hay and Muuto are testament to the scale of their success. Their iconic designs include the Fiber, Just Chair and Soft Edge seating ranges.

AUDO COPENHAGEN
Audo Copenhagen was founded in Fredensborg in 1979 by Simon Hansen. In the early days, the brand only sold accessories and tableware. Stainless steel was the main material used for tableware. However, in 1988 Audo Copenhagen overhauled its production and expanded its product range. Innovative products were developed and product design was modernised in terms of quality, design and development. Audo Copenhagen is rooted to Scandinavian traditions and its accessories have an undeniably Nordic charm. Audo Copenhagen Menu's philosophy is simple: make the world better, less complicated, and a little more pleasant to look at. Audo Copenhagen Menu sells intelligent solutions with functional details.
