Sintesi
Sintesi
The name Sintesi means “synthesis” — the process of bringing previously separate elements together into a unified whole. This principle became the foundation of the collection, combining contemporary art, human-centered design, and technologies for controlling light and reflections. One of the artistic references was the sculptural work of Santiago Villanueva. The key features of Sintesi are its customizable composition, the combination of direct and reflected illumination, mirrored glass with changing transparency, and a distinctive internal light effect reminiscent of a candle flame.
The human-centered approach is expressed through the possibility of adapting the wall luminaire to the user and the surrounding architecture. Additional wall-mounted fixing points can be positioned in different locations and used to hold the cables with the shades. By changing their arrangement and adjusting the cable lengths, the user can create an individual composition.
Each shade contains two LED sources positioned at the top and bottom. They are concealed behind matte diffusers, producing soft and comfortable illumination while keeping individual LEDs visually hidden.
The upper diffuser is additionally covered by specially treated mirrored glass with a distinctive optical effect. When the luminaire is switched off, the surface appears reflective. Once the light is turned on, it becomes partially transparent and reveals the luminous effect inside.
The luminous flux was carefully calculated to create a smooth gradient within the mirrored element, visually reminiscent of a candle flame. Reflections give the simple geometric form additional depth and allow its appearance to change dramatically when illuminated.
The upper LED source also produces an additional decorative effect. Its light creates a radial pattern on the wall, extending the visual composition beyond the physical boundaries of the luminaire and connecting it with the surrounding architecture.
Sintesi therefore represents a synthesis on several levels: the user transforms the physical composition, light changes the perception of materials, and reflections generate an additional graphic layer within the surrounding space.
