Cassina & Eames Office Collaborate On Eames Lighting Designs For First Time Offer.
For the first time ever - Cassina and The Eames Office has put the Eames Galaxy Pendant Lamp into production. Originally designed for "The Exhibition for Modern Living" at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1949, this masterpiece was never marketed due to the technological limitations of the lighting industry at the time. The original prototype of this design was made in the Eames Office from automotive components and different sized brass tubes inserted into a sphere made from a wooden croquet ball resulting in an enchanting explosion of light.

Available in pendant and wall versions, Helena is a blown-glass sphere, wrapped in an aluminum hemisphere that can be rotated to change the direction of the light, giving the lamp the appearance of a moon.

Intended to illuminate the interior of St. Mary's Church in Helena, Arkansas, the Helena lamp was designed by Charles Eames in 1934 when he was practicing architecture in St. Louis, Missouri.
