Inspired by natural growth forms and based on his understanding of industrial manufacturing processes, the designer Rainer Mutsch has designed the ALGAE lighting range, a range with a playful side. Three identically shaped elements, connected with a hanging mechanism in different heights specifically designed for this purpose, come together to create a lighting unit with an organic appearance. The strength of Algae lies in its potential for combinations. The technically interacting lights grow into a whole ‚organism‘. As a result of the range of uses for the pendants, such as hotel lobbies, stairways and foyers, and the resulting views from below, it was especially important tot he designer Mutsch that he achieved a glare-free effect. For this reason, he intensively collaborated on a specially adapted lens system to generate an efficient and, above all, glare-free light pattern. The LFO lens technology from the Bartenbach brand was installed. Available in two sizes, ALGAE works both as an individual light and in clusters, and can theoretically be given endless extensions.
