Moooi Tinkering Suspension Lamp

The Moooi Tinkering by Joost van Bleiswijk captures the essence of a designer's workshop where hours of experimentation led to something genuinely special - a suspension light that looks like a carefully orchestrated collection of adjustable task lamps working together. Each brass-lined shade can be positioned exactly where you need light, whether that's highlighting specific spots on a long dining table or creating focused pools of illumination over a kitchen counter. The black coated stainless steel frame gives it this industrial, almost scientific appearance, but the brass interiors add warmth that keeps it from feeling cold or sterile. What's really clever is how van Bleiswijk used Moooi's Electrosandwich^® technology to eliminate all visible wiring - the electrical current actually flows through the metal structure itself, keeping those clean lines that make the whole piece feel effortlessly modern.

The beauty of Tinkering is in how it adapts to however you actually use your space rather than dictating a fixed lighting scheme. Available in two sizes - the compact 85 with seven adjustable lights or the expansive 140 with twelve - you can choose the scale that fits your table or counter perfectly. Each individual shade tilts and rotates independently, so you can direct warm 2700K LED light exactly where you need it for tasks, ambient lighting, or highlighting specific areas. The dimmable LEDs mean you can go from bright work lighting to soft dinner ambiance without changing the physical positioning, and the whole installation process is surprisingly straightforward since there are no individual wire connections to worry about. The see-through design means it provides serious functionality without blocking sight lines or making spaces feel cluttered.

Moooi partners with craftspeople like Joost van Bleiswijk because they understand that the best design often comes from hands-on experimentation rather than computer renderings. Van Bleiswijk's approach of spending days in his workshop with tools, screwdrivers, and saws reflects the brand's commitment to supporting designers who value the process of making as much as the final result. The Dutch approach to engineering means they're willing to invest in innovative technologies like Electrosandwich^® that enable cleaner, more elegant solutions while maintaining the kind of quality and attention to detail that makes pieces like Tinkering become the centerpiece of a space for years rather than just looking impressive in showrooms.
