Nyta’s Founders and the Tilt Light: Where Each Version Works
Johannes Marmon, Johannes Müller and Fabian Maier founded Nyta in Karlsruhe in 2012 to make minimalist lights. Their best-known design, Tilt, lets you angle the shade by hand, so one pendant can light a table, a desk or a wall.
“Three Tilt Globes on one canopy over a round table.”
Our rule of thumb
Kitchen islands, desks and dining tables
Tilt Large has an aluminum shade you tip toward the work surface; the brass version warms the light. Tilt Globe is a rounder shade for dining tables, also in solid brass.
Clusters and walls
- Multiple canopy: hang 3 or 5 Tilt pendants from one ceiling point over a round table or in a stairwell.
- Tilt Globe Wall: a rotating shade for bedsides, reading corners and halls.
