An imperceptible light structure
In 2011, Antoni Arola designed the BlancoWhite family, combining smart LED lighting with minimalist, clean lines. A series of tabletop bookcases, luminous shelves, hallway wall lights and ultra-thin pendant lights, all designed to accentuate everyday objects, or to accompany the conversation at the table.
The R1 Wall lamp brings together a thin LED plaque and the personality of the wall in which it is set. Like opening your eyes, the lamp hides more than it shows. A metallic structure with a section of one centimeter, in graphite with a matte finish, harbors a LED plaque executed through a Dot Cutting technique or emptied by points. This technique distributes little interior holes of progressive lights along the surface, whether concave or straight, obtaining a harmonious flow of light.
Direct lighting that remains imperceptible, enhancing objects without casting shadows.
