Features

• Inspired by Op Art: Inspired by the works of the Op Art movement, Whirl serves as an experimental study in mirrored reflections. Its unique spiral shape is engineered to intentionally confuse the eye, utilizing a myriad of internal reflections to create shifting, hypnotic layers of abstract patterns when illuminated.
• Unique Creation Process: Crafted from low-weight yet exceptionally hard-wearing polycarbonate, each shade is meticulously blow-molded to achieve its precise form. It is completed with a sophisticated, semi-metallized finish, perfectly balancing advanced industrial innovation with a modern aesthetic.
• Versatile Design: Designed with adaptability in mind, the Whirl shades are available in two distinct sizes and are fully interchangeable across standard configurations. Whether styled as a single pendant, a table lamp, or clustered into a grand chandelier, the system effortlessly fits across pendant, surface, chandelier, table, and floor fittings.
• Exceptional Illumination: Engineered to deliver both beauty and function, the Whirl collection provides high-quality illumination with a warm, inviting 3000K atmosphere. Featuring advanced dimming capabilities across the range, the collection allows you to smoothly transition from a subtle, moody glow to brilliant, sculptural brilliance.
