Null Vector conveys full synthesis between optical and mechanical performance. The optical vega 98 aluminium body, characterized by a very high reflective coefficient, is both a structural component and an optical feature for light emission control. The whole frame is generated from the progressive expansion of an individual perforating and shearing mould. This matrix has a perforated pattern that performs three functions: luminous, perceptive, and mechanical. While on one hand it originates from a carefully studied calculation of light emission in space, translated into a graphic element that supports the experienced perception, on the other it is a result of surpassing the limits posed by the material processing technology. From the matrix to the individual element that, disassembled or reassembled in turn, generates paradoxically countless systems, yet simple and easy to understand.
The light source is an Energy Saving LED lamp with E14 socket (7W) and is hidden by two screens in satin methacrylate positioned above and below the aluminum body. The dotted texture of the lower screen contributes to a better diffusion both outside in environment and inside of the entire multifaceted structure. This, anodized in four colors, like a lantern creates a magical light effect that evokes the simplicity and lightness of the product.
