Here is a new series of suspension and wall lights aiming to challenge the rather incongruous and cold image TL lighting is usually associated with.
Fine TL tubes are contained within aluminium devices, which,
despite their lightness and ease of production give a unique presence to the light as well as to the object when switched off.
The suspension light has been conceived to illuminate a table or a desk. Hanging from 2 nylon wires,
its shade is constructed from an elliptical aluminium sheet folded asymmetrically.
This arrangement enables its internal face not only to shine the TL lighting downward, but it also reflects and spreads the light sideward.
The external side of the shade is covered in pigmented paint.
