Story
From candle to luminaire
Piero Lissoni conceived Pointbreak as a technological candle. A minimal design carries an intimate, sensual and comforting presence, and the squircle is the shape the luminaires share.
Cast aluminium and black screen
The structure is cast aluminium closed by transparent glass. At the bottom, the integrated optics use patented lenses and an absolute black screen, which lets the luminaire keep a high performance while optimising visual comfort.
