Nasce dall'acciaio inossidabile inciso con processo digitale e la finitura estremamente lucida gli dona il fascino di un gioiello. Etch Web crea una massa d'ombre quando la luce esterna viene riflessa dalla sua superficie a specchio. Con il suo richiamo all'ingegneria strutturale e alla connessione tra natura, scienza e matematica, questo paralume a sospensione è un'ode ai design del grande architetto neofuturista Buckminster Fuller.
Designed for the digital age; conceived on a computer and manufactured through the digital-dependent technique of precision acid photo-etching.
Etch Web uses sophisticated Digital Acid Etching methods in a factory that specializes in making extra-fine holes in metal coffee filters, and for speaker grills. We however use the technique to filter light, not coffee or sound. Large sheets of stainless steel or brass are first printed with an acid resistant pattern, then dipped into an acid bath which dissolves the unexposed metal leaving behind our components and the instantly recognizable intricate patterns that will then form our lampshade. The finely pierced flat metal sheets are assembled like Victorian tin toys using folded tabs and slots to create the final geodesic structure.
