INNOVATIVE MATERIALS, UNIQUE SHAPES

The emotion which arises from our lighting has much to do with the materials employed. Arturo Álvarez seeks on them a way to shape light and create new languages to express experiences and feelings. Through exploration and decontextualization of quotidian elements he achieves new and surprising uses, and his own materials, such as SIMETECH®. The different textures and characteristics allow light to express itself through brightness, chiaroscuro and different levels of intensity. Organic, geometric and even whimsical shapes emerge from this experimentation in the new 2017 collections.

To craft it we start from a stainless-steel metal mesh rectangular strip. We draw thin lines by hand which will help us as a guide to shape the lamp, and then we micro weld the interior of the volume. After that we apply a silicone coating.
