Daniel Rybakken and Luceplan have done their magic – and the result is an extensive ceiling luminaire using an inconceivably simple principle.
A luminous disk floats in space: L.U.F.O. is a lamp with LED technology that thanks to its innovative optical system generates perfect bidirectional “flood” emission. But it is also a holistic object, sensitive to environmental vibrations, suspended and s
winging in the void, which attracts and seduces even when it is off. The project by Consuline is based on a circular light source equipped with LED technology. The LEDs are positioned on the anodized extruded aluminium of the external ring. They project l
ight into a very sophisticated diffuser, specially developed by Luceplan. The methacrylate diffuser, whose optical system uses a bicomposite lens with recovery of marginal light flow, is composed of two joined disks. A Fresnel lens is mounted on the inner
surface to amplify light intensity, while the outer surface features a microsphere texture capable of augmenting the bidirectional “flood” emission of the light. Floating in space thanks to a system of magnets placed on the support yoke, the luminous dis
k sustained by a security micro-cable can be blocked in different positions by means of a special device. The undulated appeal of the L.U.F.O. lamp also comes in wall and suspension versions.
