Story
A circle inside a square
The form of A-Round is a circle inside a square, itself inside a circle. It is informal and picks up on Vitruvio's idea, but light is put in the centre instead of man. The luminaire is designed by Piero Lissoni.
PVD-treated stainless steel
The external body is stainless steel treated with the PVD process, which coats the surfaces with a thin film of metals such as zirconium and titanium. Combined with the steel at molecular level, this film increases resistance to mechanical and atmospheric agents and allows elegant, durable finishings in four colours.
