The process and result is like that of dipping a wire frame into a soap solution; a minimal surface film is created whose boundary is the wire frame itself.
For a given frame there exist several minimal surfaces with different areas and combinations, as the frame goes beyond 2 dimensions.
This interaction of curved structures and their minimal surfaces is central to the entire collection.
The elegance and unique soft streamlined character of these lamps are the result of the direct organic process.
The lamps are made by tightly stretching fabric around hand bended metal profiles. The result is highly dynamic organic volumes. The lamps look different from every angle, suggesting lightness and perpetual movement.
While endless variations are possible, the designs are reduced to their archetypical essence.
The combination of hand craftsmanship: bending the structures and adjusting the fabric, in combination with contemporary techniques, like 3D printed parts and LED technologies, result in modern yet organic design.
While there is a stable and established environment in which the current models are produced, all items are handmade and highly customizable to benefit specific projects and spaces.
Dimensions are adaptable and models can be adapted to other structures such as chandeliers.
llll.06 is an offspring of a previous model llll.08, but meant to be connected as a double, or longer chain. The central supporting rod is curved in either C or S form, the rod containing a LED strip spirals around it. The second element is the mirror image of the first, and so on. This results in a continuously spiralling movement in the chain of lights.
One element can be between 120-200 cm with a width of maximum 100 cm.
As the dimension of every element is already large, a recently developed 3D printed electrical power transfer hinge makes it possible to assemble these large structures on the spot.
Various elements can be connected with a current carrying hinge.
Elements can be suspended horizontally or vertically. Dimension of a single element is between 100-200 cm.
