What is the ‘big (IDEA)’ behind this project?
The starburst of light patterns alludes to firelight glowing deep in the forest… Taking an innovative direction, this luminaire focuses on the after-effect of the light. It combines precision engineering with handmade surface finishing. Calculated geometry of light source positions and intricately cut silhouettes control the throw of light, ensuring the projected patterns appear only on the wall. The canopy of the design allows for many finishes including the organically hand-formed copper veneer with its ridges and valleys.
