Giopato & Coombes wanted to make the cube the leitmotif of their project. They studied its isometric projection, and used this as a starting point to play with the perceptions of the volumes themselves. The end product is a solid rhombic dodecahedron of Catalan and comprising twelve equal rhombi. From a flat figure recalling a solid they have created a solid that looks like a plane: the ASTRO wall lamp. The lamp has three transparent and sanded surfaces and the rest are opaque, making it look like a little jewel whose geometrics are underlined by the materials that form it: the metal part, which comes in white or black, and the transparent and sanded glass create a “prism” effect on the light. The technicalities of the project have been carefully studied, in order to achieve a perfect harmony between the physical volumes of the lamp and the light. The result is that the form creates a light that draws geometrical figures on the wall. When assembling, the direction of ASTRO can be chosen in order to exploit its full potential and make it meet your needs.
Wall lamp giving direct and diffused light. Painted base cast aluminium. Transparent sand-blasted pressed glass diffusor.
