Story
Light from a hexagonal geometry
Carlotta de Bevilacqua designed Helgoland as a lighting principle that draws on natural geometry. Its layout allows modular, linear or radial groupings, and a circular lens sits in each unit. The optical block is 12.5 mm thick, and the face is round. Helgoland aims for less material, lower weight and a smaller footprint, with efficiency up to 150 lm/W.
