Cylindrical charisma
This luminaire’s plastic cylinder, which comprises its substance and nothing more, draws us into its orbit and the aura of its simplicity, and in so doing creates the impression that the cylinder is the most pleasing geometric form of all. Too much stomach, too little head? The homogeneously illuminated cylinder surface and the high proportion of direct light alleviate even the shadow of a doubt from our mind.
Charisma stems not from a “perfect facade”, but instead results from the complex interplay between inner and outer factors. The CYL BASIC is a magnificent example of this interplay, and its visual magnetism is largely attributable to its superb “inner life.” The luminaire base, canopy and housing are constructed of chrome plated metal, highly polished metal, and white powder-coated metal. The surface mounted downlight’s reflector is made of high gloss anodised aluminium, while the cylinder itself is made of opal or transparent plastic with an anti-glare tube
Base: metal, chrome-plated. Cylinder: plastic, opal. Mirror reflector: aluminium, highly polished anodised finish.
