The Italian company FLOS has teamed up with New York designer Ron Gilad to create a distinctive lighting system that attaches to vertical surfaces and produces beautiful lighting effects. Called ‘wallpiercing’, it consists of rings that link together into a chain, building a collage in whatever dimensions we want.
The light comes from LEDs that are very well “hidden” inside a casing of polycarbonate and die-cast aluminium. The rings sink into the wall, so the base of the system is not visible, which creates a striking visual effect. The colours and intensity can be adjusted to suit the style and the “mood we want to create in our space.
The project was first presented at stockholm furniture fair 2011.
