Story
An experiment in reflections
Whirl takes its cue from the Op Art movement and treats mirrored reflections as an experiment. The spiral shape deliberately confuses the eye, as internal reflections stack up into shifting, hypnotic layers of abstract pattern when the shade is lit.
Polycarbonate shade
Low-weight yet exceptionally hard-wearing polycarbonate is blow-moulded to give each shade its precise form, and a semi-metallised finish completes it.
