Placebo is a paradigm of playful choices of up and down light. You will quickly discover many options. Different shapes, sizes and shades designed for you. All playful instruments to turn your creative vision into lovely rhythms of pure forms and light.
Placebo offers much more than general lighting up and down. You will notice a surprising light effect when you start experimenting with more than one Placebo. Try out two, a row of alternating up and down lights, using the same midline level or different levels, or a creative cluster!

Designer Jeffrey Huyghe’s challenge was to design an architectural pendant with a decorative touch. His inspiration came from the idea that pendant lighting can mean both, down and up light. This very special design twist is what makes Placebo unique and extremely playful. And as modularity is in Jeffrey’s DNA, his designs often flow into each other and can easily be combined. For example, the finish and the colours of Thimble, the glass of Shellby’s sphere, are both used for Placebo, making these families a perfect match for an interior.
I wanted to use the same shape both up and down. Having something like the almost primal form of a lamp hanging upside down looks very surprising in a way. The interaction between the different types creates a sense of rhythm. Jeffrey Huyghe, Product Designer

Placebo encompasses the duality of simple and dressed up designs, all in one family. Choose pure geometrical shapes for a clean and classic expression, or dress up Placebo with its decorative shades to add presence and volume. Never stop playing!
Enjoy the effects of warm dim in all their full, rounded glory. Watch the delicious sphere change from a cooler and brighter white light to a soft yellowish warm light, as it fills the room with a relaxing glow.
