Sunset
Sunset
The Sunset table lamp was conceived as an object designed to evoke calm and positive emotional associations. Its inspiration came from a travel postcard from Mallorca depicting the sun setting over the sea. This image was transformed into a luminaire through contemporary LED technology: two groups of light sources create cool and warm illumination, producing a smooth color gradient across the frosted glass sphere that recalls the sun descending towards the horizon.
Inside the structure is a hexagonal base incorporating two groups of RGB LEDs. One group directs light upwards to create the cooler part of the illumination, while the second shines downwards and produces a warmer glow. Their interaction visually divides the composition and recreates the characteristic transition of colors seen in a sunset sky.
The LED structure is enclosed within a frosted glass sphere. The glass conceals the individual light sources, softens the illumination, and blends the different tones into a continuous gradient. The light is therefore perceived not as a series of colored LEDs but as a single luminous object.
The sphere is positioned within a flowing acrylic element that symbolizes the surface of water. The transparency of the material and the minimal supporting structure create a sense of weightlessness, as if the glowing sun were suspended above the sea horizon.
The proportions of the acrylic element and the position of the sphere were mathematically interconnected. This approach was inspired by the idea of harmonious proportions described in the treatise Divina Proportione, which explores relationships between geometry, nature, and ideal proportion.
The acrylic element can be produced in different finishes. The transparent version most directly conveys the image of a sunset over water. A dark tinted version gives the object a more futuristic character, creating associations with flowing magnetic liquid. In a flesh-toned finish, the smooth curves become more sculptural and evoke the forms of the human body.
The collection is planned in two sizes: a 360 mm version intended primarily for bedrooms and more intimate spaces, and a 450 mm version for living rooms and public interiors.
Sunset transforms a familiar natural image into an emotional lighting object in which the physical form remains minimal while colored light and its interaction with transparent materials become the main decorative elements.
