Story
A technological candle
Piero Lissoni designed Pointbreak as an outdoor light conceived as a technological candle. It is a minimally designed, intimate, sensual and comforting presence. The collection is built on a squircle shape.
Light directed downwards
The optics in the head give an asymmetric radial emission aimed downwards, and an aluminium reflector painted in absolute black avoids indirect reflections in compliance with current light pollution laws.
