T’bilisi, Georgia-based SHRE Studio says the Moono is the first award-winning sliding pendant light from the country.
Winner of the LIT Lighting Design Award 2025, Moono is a wooden sliding lamp that transforms interaction into light and movement into atmosphere. SHRE, an architecture and design practice that works across interiors, furniture, and product design, developed the light over two years. It “marks a significant moment for Georgian design, presenting an object in which engineering, material, and human experience form a single continuous gesture,” the firm says.
The firm designed the light with a guiding principle: that light should respond to touch, not technology. It consists of a stable wooden base and a movable panel that carries the light source. “As the user gently slides the panel along a concealed track, brightness shifts, direction changes, and space reorganizes itself,” the firm says. “This is not a button, not a switch — it is a tactile dialogue. Moono invites the user to participate in modulating light physically and to feel how form and function move together.”

A fully hidden mechanical system is embedded within solid wood, engineered to create smooth, aligned motion and calibrated resistance. The sliding mechanism uses no electronics; instead, it relies on the material’s natural behavior and the joinery. The integrated light source is designed to disperse heat safely, preserving the wood’s integrity. As a result, Moono moves between two states — a calm, planar object and a projecting architectural element — each activated directly by human touch, the designers say.
SHRE says the introduction is a lighting typology that is uncommon (even globally): a non-electronic kinetic lamp where interaction becomes part of the design experience. “It does not simply illuminate — it engages, transforms, and creates a moment of participation within the room.”

Moono comes in two variants–a unit measuring 111 centimeters and one measuring 88 centimeters. It is available in solid oak or walnut and has brass, aluminum and copper metallic elements. Featuring an integrated LED source, the wood has an eco-friendly protective lacquer. Light color options include 3000K, 4000K and 6500K.
SHRE Studio develops residential and commercial interiors, custom furniture, and lighting as interconnected systems, where architecture, objects, and light are conceived together. “The studio’s interiors are defined by calm compositions, natural materials and precise detailing, creating minimal spaces with a strong yet restrained presence,” the company says.
