Description
Overview
Copernico suspension is a pendant luminaire by Carlotta de Bevilacqua and Paolo Dell'Elce. Nine concentric mobile ellipses obtained from a single aluminium plate support a circuit of 384 white LEDs.
Construction
The ellipses rotate independently on two different axes, so the light can be directed and numerous spatial configurations obtained at the same time. When the device is closed it is completely flat. The emission is diffused, direct and indirect.
Specifications
Length 1040 mm and width 410 mm; its maximum height measured from the ceiling is 2000 mm and the rotation is 360°. Power 30 W for 3686 lm at 3000 K, CRI 90, IP20, push dimming.
