Decimal Collection

The Decimal collection questions both the almost unlimited capabilities of 3D Printing and its relationship with the conceptualization process of a luminaire. The objects in the Decimal collection combine cultural and technological factors to create lighting concepts through signs familiar to the audience and space.

There is a dominant impulse to work with structures generated from mathematical algorithms, to form compositions that could not be manufactured in any other way. In search of a design consistent with the future of lighting and spaces, a step back is taken to control this impulse by identifying the elements that can build a discourse beyond form. The objects in the Decimal collection combine cultural and technological factors to create lighting concepts through signs familiar to the audience and space.

The .003 Lamp arises from the iteration of elegantly applied sections on a surface that evokes a technological and attractive present, at the same time referring to objects from the past. Intersections of grids that oscillate from a central axis from which they even depart. By intersecting at a single point, a symmetry is generated. This screen becomes a point of soft, dim light that further exposes the visual complexity of its texture. Straight geometries present in fabric, paper and architectural structures to give volume to geometric planes. These relationships of line and form give a sense of sudden mutation or expansion of volume.

The .004 lamp is an exploration of composition and structural behavior. Through games of surfaces and material subtractions, these masks generate movement and depths that alter the perception of each screen and the light it emits. The 004 luminaire offers an interesting and enveloping perspective in all its angles, framing its beauty and uniqueness.
