Description
Overview
The Whirl Fat Cone Floor Light in Gold Polished Polycarbonate (WHS02GO-FUN03M2) was designed in 2024. It takes its cue from the op-art movement, and its spiralling form plays with light and mirrored reflections.
Construction
The shade is polycarbonate on a steel base. Its mirrored, gloss surface results from a semi-metallised, powder-coated process. The 6W LED is included, the light dims inline, and its cable is 250 cm of black fabric carrying the switch.
Specifications
- Dimensions: 45 x 45 x 172 cm, L x W x H (17.7 x 17.7 x 67.7 in)
- Source: 6W LED, 7.5W, 800 lm, 3000K
- Weight: 12.4 kg
- Environment: indoor, IP20
Story
Inspired by Op Art
Whirl is an experimental study in mirrored reflections. Its spiral shape is engineered to confuse the eye, using internal reflections to create shifting, hypnotic layers of abstract patterns when lit.
Blow-moulded shade
Each polycarbonate shade is blow-moulded to its form and finished with a semi-metallised coating. Light is warm 3000K with CRI above 90.
