A sun with no precise beginning or end

Tord Boontje's lamp is like the sun with its molten, unfathomable contours: it has no precise beginning or end. A sculptural suspension lamp with a strong impact and an elusive outline, it gives life to 390 steel rays around a central body.

Light in two directions

The double light source is directed downward and diffused upward. The rays surround the light and give the lamp a geometric presence that is at the same time fluid and organic.
