In Vitro Ceiling
Philippe Starck
Since forever, the lightbulb is protected by a glass globe. Today, this disappears in favor of the light. It is the both poetic and surrealistic idea of dematerialized architectural lighting and the memory of the space occupied by the light.
Technical Description
Lighting unit with diffuse light for exterior ceiling installations. Integrated opalescent diffuser and external protection in transparent borosilicate glass. The structure is made of die-cast and extruded aluminium treated with a chemical conversion process for effective resistance to atmospheric agents. The body is powder coated and comes in various finishes.
Integrated LED light source with Edge Lighting optical technology to guarantee perfect uniform lighting. A driver integrated in the body of the unit is available for ON/OFF and dimmer control.
The light emitted from the lamp is soft, diffuse, and free of strong contrasts thanks to the Edge lighting technology, in which the point-like LEDs are hidden by an opalescent diffuser, evening out the light.
