Mayday Outdoor

Designed by Konstantin Grcic, 2000

Multipurpose luminaire suitable for outdoor use. Features a hook/handle that doubles as a cable winder and an injection-moulded opaline conical diffuser made from sustainable polypropylene produced from industrial process waste. Button switch located on the handle. 6 meters long outgoing cable, fixed to the handle by a cable guide, suitable for outdoor use with Schuko IP44 plug. Light source protected from atmospheric agents by a watertight transparent polymethylmethacrylate capsule, sealed by an elastomer gasket to guarantees IP 65 protection. As no glue is used in the assembly process, Mayday is easy to dismantle and properly recycle.

Designed by Konstantin Grcic in 1999, Mayday is a multipurpose lamp conceived as a functional tool. Its sturdy build, handle and long cable make it highly portable, while a subtle triangular notch in the diffuser even allows it to hang from a nail. In short, anything is possible with Mayday. The name nods to both the distress call and the optimism of spring. A modern icon now made with sustainable materials, it reflects Grcic’s belief in democratic, purposeful design. Mayday won the Compasso d’Oro in 2001.
