Description

Overview

Arctic is a modular mirrored volume shaped by the relationship between its parts, designed by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group. It has mirror and transparent versions for ceiling, suspension and table or floor installation, and the product is not yet available.

Construction

Basic geometric shapes form modular arrangements that separate and come together again, working with layers of reflection and transparency. The result resembles an Archimedean solid whose external faces are not visible. Pentagonal elements radiate from a central point, and a diffusing sphere sits at that point.

Specifications

Every version has a diameter of 550 mm and is rated at 25 W. The suspension version in mirror has a maximum height from the ceiling of 1950 mm.

Story

Reflections and transparency

Arctic reimagines reality through light, both the lamp's own and the light of the surrounding environment. Mirrored surfaces align and face each other, and the reflections shift with the viewer's perspective and the space around it.

An active role in assembly

The luminaire follows principles of intelligent, sustainable design and invites the user to take part in its assembly.
