about llll light
The lamps are crafted by stretching fabric tightly over hand-bent metal profiles, creating dynamic organic shapes that appear different from every angle, evoking a sense of lightness and continuous motion.
Despite the potential for endless variations, the designs are distilled to their essential archetypes.
The creation process resembles dipping a wire frame into a soap solution, forming a minimal surface film bounded by the frame itself.
With each frame, multiple minimal surfaces can exist, featuring various areas and combinations, as the frame extends into three dimensions.
The interplay between curved structures and their minimal surfaces is fundamental to the collection.
The lamps’ elegance and distinctive, soft streamlined appearance stem from this direct organic process.
The semi-transparent fabric used enhances the feeling of buoyancy. The overlapping layers reveal appealing lines and a pronounced moiré effect, arising from the slightly misaligned patterns of the knitted fabric.
Concentric rings seem to dance and shimmer with the smallest movement of the head.
The fusion of manual artisanship—shaping the structures and fitting the fabric—with modern methods, such as 3D printing and LED technology, culminates in a design that is both contemporary and organic.
While production occurs in a consistent and controlled setting, each piece is handcrafted and customizable, accommodating specific designs and spaces.
More about the fabric
The fabric is a knitted blend of half polyester half stainless steel.
The fabric options include a plain white/silver variant (right in the image above) or a with a golden sheen (left).
A warm white LED strip, embedded within the frame, lights the lamp from the edges, casting an even, soft radiance throughout.
The “white” fabric features a 2700K LED color, whereas the “gold” achieves its golden glow partially from the 2300K LEDs and partially from the fabric color.
The stainless steel ensures the fabric’s durability and ease of maintenance. Minor irregularities in the pattern and colour of the fabric are intrinsic to the knitting process.
The fabric can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and a mild textile cleaner.
Canopy or rosette?
All lights require a 24V DC constant voltage driver.
It can be installed either in a canopy on the ceiling or remotely.
The canopy may be white, black, or brass.
When multiple lamps are installed, this can be accomplished by having the power come from one central point or providing a separate connection for each lamp.
If each lamp requires a connection but the canopy cannot be placed remotely, you will need a canopy and driver for each lamp. If the driver can be remotely, a round ceiling rosette with cable gliders will suffice.
For a single power point you can use small ceiling attachments to position the lamps. The steel current-carrying cables will remain visible and can be joined either in the canopy or in the if the driver be placed remotely.
The lamps are suspended by a current-carrying coated steel cable. The length can be adjusted with the gliders, which are inserted in the canopy that holds driver or in the ceiling rosette.

24Vdc CV dimmers and drivers
The LED lightings can have dimmable functions, allowing you to adjust brightness.
However their internal electrical circuitry doesn’t interpret the wall dimmer signal. Which works for traditional incandescent bulbs only. LED strips don’t connect directly to 120V/220V AC wall sockets. They need a power supply to convert AC into lower 24V DC voltage.
For small projects that consist of just a single power supply, you’ll need the simpler PWM or TRIAC dimmers
DALI, 0-10v, and DMX LED dimmers can manage multiple zones.
PWM Dimming
or “pulse width modulation” is a digital signal that “talks” to your strip’s power supply to adjust brightness. You can install a DC PWM dimmer between a standard, non dimmable power supply and the LED strip.
The power supply can be any standard DC power unit and does not need to be dimmable.
Compared to TRIAC dimmable power supplies, these cost cheaper and are readily available. This simple circuit design works well for portable installations where you don’t have to build a dimmer into a wall. DC PWM dimmers are very simple to assemble, easily connecting to the power supply and LED strip.
There are different PWM dimmers available:
RF Dimming provides a remote way to adjust your strip brightness.
Unlike the wired inline LED dimmers, you can dim the led strip by remote control, the distance can get as far as 20 meters in diameter.
WIFI Dimming
A smart dimmer allows you to control your LEDs remotely via a WiFi connection. When setting up a “smart” home or office lighting system, these dimmers are necessary.
You can operate the dimming by using a mobile app. This feature lets you adjust brightness using Alexa or Google Assistant voice controls.
Triac Dimming
Triac dimmer change 120V/220V AC to 12/24V DC signal for led strip lights., and Interpret dimming signals produced by the Triac dimmer and then translate that into the LED strip’s output.
You’ll need to connect the TRIAC dimmer to the dimmable power supply, then link the power supply’s output to the LED strip.
To avoid voltage drops, ensure that your power unit stays close to your strip lights.
1-10V Dimming
0-10V dimming lets you adjust brightness by altering DC voltage powering your strips.
It can vary voltage between zero and ten volts – zero being “off” and ten at 100% brightness output.
This method lets you link as many dimming receivers as your project requires. This means you’ll be able to manipulate many dimmable LED lights simultaneously.
DALI Dimming
DALI dimming is a step further from the 0-10V system. Like the 0-10V, this dimmer allows you to adjust many LED strips over a wide area using a central controller.
This method also allows individual users to adjust brightness for specific zones using smaller LED dimmers.
This setup makes for a convenient way to adjust brightness without going all the way to the main switch. Like its 0-10V predecessor, you’ll have to wire it between the dimmable strips and the transformer.
DMX Dimming
“DMX 512” also works by regulating voltage in the transformer to reduce brightness.
Despite being an old dimming method, DMX is still used today. Applications include large-scale installations, such as concerts, theatre, and other performance venue lighting. This method allows for independent control of different areas of the lighting project. It can run up to 512 DMX receivers, also called channels.
Surge wattage occurs when you turn on other electrical appliances in your home. The wirings on these appliances create a resistance in the home’s electricity. This sudden change causes a voltage drop in your LED lights.
Surge wattage dimming becomes noticeable when you set your LEDs on low brightness. If your brightness is high, you’ll rarely experience flickering.
