Cut

Futuristica e sfaccettata, Cut è un esercizio d'ottica. La finitura a specchio dal sapore spaziale della lampada spenta si trasforma rivelando una gemma caleidoscopica traslucida quando la lampada viene accesa. I riflessi ipnotici del globo luminoso racchiuso si ripetono all'infinito tra le sfaccettature a diamante del lato interno, metallizzato sotto vuoto. Prodotte con finiture cromo e grigio fumo, in versione piccola e lunga, a sospensione o applique da parete, – queste sono le ultimissime avventure della nostra infatuazione per riflettività, luminosità e trasparenza.

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.
