Cut

Die Cut-Serie ist futuristisch und facettiert und dient als optisches Übungsstück. Die raumzeitliche, verspiegelte Oberfläche verwandelt sich in ein lichtdurchlässiges, kaleidoskopisches Juwel, das sich erst beim Einschalten offenbart. Hypnotisierende Spiegelungen der leuchtenden Kugel im Inneren werden im diamantgeschliffenen, vakuum-metallisierten Innenraum endlos wiederholt. Sie werden in einer Chrom- und Rauchoberfläche, in klein und lang, als Pendelleuchte und als Wandleuchte produziert.– Sie sind die neuesten Abenteuer in unserer endlosen Faszination mit Reflektivität, Leuchtkraft und Transparenz.

More about Cut

Cut lights are created through a process of blow moulding and vacuum metallisation to achieve faceted gems with abundant and unusual luminosity. Over several years we have worked with some forerunners of German engineering and manufacturing to develop these techniques and produce lamps that create the latest in reflectivity and transparency.

Through the use of injection blow moulding, a melted plastic polymer moulding is injected into a massive precision-made steel tool, inflated with compressed air and then cooled.

The mirror finish of each pendant is then created by the highly technical process of vacuummetallisation. The polycarbonate shell is secreted in the interior of a metallic chamber, the air sucked out, and an immense electrical charge channelled through. With a bang and pop a thin strip of copper foil is vaporised into a fine mist of metallic particles that settles across the interior.

For Cut we have taken vacuum thin film deposition to a new level with half metallised surfaces, creating an extraordinary optical effect that reflects and enhances its environment. This half-mirrored effect often seen on a smaller scale in fashion sunglasses or gangster windscreens creates a hyper reflective surface finish when turned off but transforms into a translucent colour when switched on.
