CAMOUFLAGE

Piero Lissoni

Switch off the light and, as if by magic, the lamp disappears. Switch it on and, again as if by magic, all you see is the light itself. Is it a lamp or a chameleon?

Technical Description

Collection of products for outdoor use, for wall installation with LED light source. Dissipating aluminum body with diffuser in transparent polycarbonate. The Crema d'Orcia and Basaltina stone finishes are made by fastening high-strength, high-resistance adhesive to a stone plate created by means of mechanical machining from a solid block. The concrete finishing is made by fastening a poured cement plate reinforced with fiberglass using a single component high strength, high-resistance adhesive.

The Primer version is painted after installation with normal water-based colors (tempera, stucco, water-based paints) to ensure maximum uniformity with the architecture. The aluminum versions are finished with a high resistance coating: after a sandblasting treatment of all components to make the surface porous and ensure a greater adhesion of the paint, the external coating is applied with a double layer with epoxy powders according to the QUALICOAT standard. The first layer of epoxy powder gives chemical and mechanical resistance, the second finishing layer of polyester powder ensures resistance to UV rays and atmospheric agents. The painted surfaces are treated with alkaline and acidic washes, then rinsed with demineralized water, subjected to a chemical conversion treatment to protect against oxidation. Upon commercial and technical evaluation, it is possible to create customized versions with other materials on request.
