Spokes 3

Overview

Spokes 3 is a suspension lamp by García Cumini for Foscarini. It has a double LED light source that lights the surface underneath it, and it makes games of light and shadow on walls and ceilings.

Construction

The steel spokes are attached at the top by two ABS and polycarbonate discs, and at the bottom to an aluminium module that acts as housing and dissipator for the two LED boards. The cable that powers the boards is housed in one of the spokes. Stainless steel makes up the suspension cable, with a transparent electrical cable. A canopy of glossy white batch-dyed ABS covers the ceiling bracket in galvanised metal.

Volumes that hold the light

Spokes 3 is a light-weight volume that contains light and at the same time lets it seep through into the surroundings. The light from the double LED source falls on the surface below.

Light and shadow on walls and ceilings

The light passing between the spokes creates games of light and shadow on walls and ceilings. The electrical cable that feeds the LED boards is invisible, because it is housed in one of the spokes.
