Illumination from the bottom up

Elipse is a floor lamp for outdoor spaces that changes the plane of the light, which travels from the bottom up. Josep Lluís Xuclà embraced simplicity: the design is a single aluminium tube with two openings.

A base that makes the light seem to float

The opening at the top is irregular in shape. That detail shows when the lamp is off, and it gains strength when the lamp is on, because the light traces a perfect ellipse on the lamp itself, which stands out in the dark. The tube is white inside, so the light grows and comes alive while the lamp itself almost seems to disappear. At the bottom the light escapes, and the base works as a reflective screen, which makes the light seem to float.
