Iconic design without a suspension

As a result, it functions as a design installation mounted directly on the ceiling and is ideal for rooms with lower ceilings or spaces where light pendant light is impractical.

Light that shapes the space

Each slat acts as a reflector, directing light in various directions. The result is a combination of direct and indirect lighting that creates subtle transitions between light and shadow, lending the interior both dynamism and coziness.
