STEEL COUTURE

Edition 2024 introduces two stainless steel models, lined inside with luxurious silk/lurex faille and armored with steel bows in single- and double-sided arrays.  

🎀 ROWS OF BOWS 🎀

The bows expand on CULTURA’s concept of effortless, sculpted structures and fastener-free joinery derived entirely from the behavior of spring steel. They hold their firm bulging shapes and clip securely onto the lamps only thanks to geometry and spring forces. 

In the single-sided model, the bow clips are dressed in a couture-like ruffled flap detail, cut from the shimmery selvage of the faille roll. 

The double-sided design is a play on the manifold meanings of REFLECTOR - the bows interlock in mirrored pairs and their diffused reflections on the exterior appear as if mirrored by dramatic shadows inside the lamp when it's fully lit.

To increase reflectivity, and to echo the appearance of the lamps’ signature CAUSE & EFFECT supports, the bows’ interiors are laminated with chrome film.  The film can be substituted with various colored chrome lacquers as bespoke alternatives. 

SILK / LUREX FAILLE 

The exquisite textile lining reflects the bulb lights and reacts vividly even to the gentlest whisper of ambient light when the bulbs are off. Cut on the bias, the faille’s ribbed structure is expressed diagonally in a shimmering whirl that turns with the conical shape of the INTROVERT. The crispy fabric texture becomes a high-contrast canvas for the spectacular bow shadows when the lamp is in full brightness mode. The faille lining is available in multiple colors. Shown here: white silk + silver lurex. 

LUXURIOUS ALUMINIUM ACCESSORIES

Signature milled aluminium lamping set with cabling running through thick docking ropes and crystal glass-inlaid Pavé Antipedestal bottom plate. Five crystal glass inserts are nested in the milled aluminium disk under the lamp, shooting subtle glittery reflections. Shown here with purple crystal glass. Edition 2024 offers a wide variety of crystal glass colors.

LAMPING

• LIGHTCORE upper bulb – E27 LED globe bulbs, dimmable. 
• LIGHTCORE lower bulb – GU10 LED bulbs, dimmable, best with 120° beam spread.

Best with bulbs of high lumen counts. Identical bulb temperatures render the lamp a more unified sculpture, while different bottom and top bulb temperatures create the sensation of two different light sources or a composition of colours. Bulb temperature affects the colour appearance of the ANTIPEDESTAL. Pictured here with: 

• Upper E27 G125 LED globe bulb, 7.5 WATTS, 1055 lumens, 4000 Kelvins.
• Lower GU10 LED bulb, 8.3 WATTS, 575 lumens, 120° beam spread, 2700-4000 Kelvins.

SWITCHING MATERIAL

• Independent dimming/ ON-OFF switching for top and bottom bulbs.
• Trailing edge dimmers. 
• 220 - 240 Volts, all standard regional plugs. Indoor use only.

ROPE/ CABLING:

• Premium dock line polyester braided rope, 2 x 3000 mm (3 m) / 2 x 120 in. (10 ft.) segments. Custom lengths upon request. 
• Colors: white & silver. 

A specially developed technique is used to reconstruct the ropes after cores are removed for cabling in order to recover characteristic weight, round cross section, and taut braiding that doesn’t deform or collapse with twisting.  

HANDLING & MAINTENANCE:

Please see enclosed instructions for safety and maintenance.

CE-CERTIFIED. INTERIOR USE ONLY.
