Liiu is a new, light and flexible system of suspension lamps, the result of bold research on the part of Luceplan to create high-performance lighting designs whose main feature is an ethereal, poetic overall image.
The basic structure is composed of electrified metal cables fastened to the ceiling and held in constant tension by counter-weights. The bodies of the lamps are positioned on the cables by means of two very light arms that support the luminous head and feature a spiral at the extremity. Assembly is simple and rapid, with a gesture that sums up the essence of the project. The cables are wrapped around the rigid spiral of the arms in such a way that the structure of the lamp, besides its mechanical task of supporting the weight of the light sources, also conveys the current to the LED module placed inside the head of the unit. The effect of weight permits the luminous parts to remain in contact with the cables, guaranteeing continuous power supply. The light spreads through the conical diffuser, creating a soft, almost ethereal effect without ever becoming excessive.
Another demonstration of the system’s technical excellence is the way the luminous parts run along the electrified cables, aiming the light where it is needed while varying the configuration of the product. In this way, users can activate a design in continuous transformation, depending on the angle of observation.
Liiu represents the perfect combination between the spectacular impact of its multiple configurations and their lightness, between functionality and an elegant, minimalist image, between the dynamism of its forms and their stability. It is a modular system that can be translated into preset or personalized forms, revealing its versatility and its ability to adapt to different settings: whether it takes on the character of a sumptuous chandelier, a luminous wall or a reading lamp, Liiu never loses its sculptural nature and its particular ability to always create a unique, new and dreamy atmosphere.
