CORE SYSTEMS : INTRODUCTION
INTROVERT 145_5 REFLECTOR is the pilot release from The INTROVERTS Suite, a collection of luminaires designed by CULTURAxRMM.
The drop comes after 2 years of prototyping three core systems that define the INTROVERTS Suite:
STRUCTURAL SCULPTURE
A structural system for the bodies of the lamps. Stainless steel bands are woven into self-supporting sculptures with refined, couture-like detailing. While structurally strong, durable material is sought to sculpt the INTORVERTS, it is treated as tenderly as fabric. These robust yet precious objects are patterned and cut like pieces of high tailoring.
CAUSE & EFFECT : A SIGNATURE JOINING SYSTEM
A fastener-free joining system derived from the properties of a high-performance stainless steel alloy, CAUSE & EFFECT joinery is made of voluptuous sprung elements. Their radial array forms a compression ring, clamping the sheet material together from the exterior while leaving no trace of joinery in the interior of the lamps.
All you see inside an INTROVERT is an abstract vortex, as if pulled together by a centripetal force.
LAMPING FITTINGS SYSTEM
A range of fittings CNC-milled of premium grade aluminium and finished to highest cosmetic surface standards. The fittings are designed for weight, stability, and abstraction. Wiring runs through oversized ropes that drape luxuriously over the INTROVERTS' steel bodies – a design that replaces trivial cabling with an element of hi-tech passementerie made of premium recycled plastic dock line.
INTROVERT 145_R REFLECTOR
This INTROVERT is made of steel.
BODY
Razor-thin steel sheets are woven into a bulging non-Euclidean pyramid, striking with its scale and near-virtual thinness. This improbable steel structure weighs over 3kg but appears weightless. The CAUSE & EFFECT joinery elements in INTROVERT 145_5 REFLECTOR serve a dual purpose - as buttresses gripping the hovering body and mysterious light-filled ornaments.
LIGHTCORE - ROPE - ANCHOR
The lamping set of INTROVERT 145_5 REFLECTOR is designed as an extraneous drop-in system. This liberates sculpture from utility and makes for easy exchange of the bottom bulb without risk of damaging the precious steel body.
The LIGHTCORE and the ANCHOR - a two-way light fitting and a dimmer switch box - are joined by a luxurious thick rope. These aluminium monoliths are designed for weight and stability, allowing for the heavy rope to drape effortlessly between them without pulling excessively as it straddles the lamp.
The LIGHTCORE drops in, outfitted with a cushioning silicone gel ring that helps nest it snugly in place. Upward shooting light illuminates in a spectacular torchiere fashion. Downward light is reflected inside the CAUSE & EFFECT light wells and captured as magical glow.
ANTIPEDESTAL
An optional accessory, the ANTIPEDESTAL is a thin disk available in a variety of designs for added light effects. Hit by the downward light of the LIGHTCORE, the ANTIPEDESTAL takes the INTROVERT 145_5 REFLECTOR to another level of ambient presence.
