Story
Irregular intersections of planes
Irregular intersections of planes in space create a vivid sculptural volume of great visual impact. The planes criss-cross to build an architecture of surfaces, lights and shadows with a strong scenic effect.
Direct and diffused light
The lamp provides direct lighting on the surface below and diffused lighting in the room. The arrangement of the methacrylate panels ensures maximum reflection while preventing glare.
