The architects‘s office heri&salli from Vienna created in a residential building of a private building ownerin Austria a so-called “Netlight”. A steel construction combined with a Plexiglas shell that dissolves intofragmentary lines was placed in an airspace surrounded by a gallery. In the upper part of the gallery theobject functions as a handrail construction, which develops in the lower part into a sort of oversizedlighting object. In the airspace defined by the object lighting equipment was integrated, following figuresof an overall conception, from there it expands in the remaining airspace of the living room.
The initially circumscribed airspace that results functionally of a necessary handrail and the space of thedining area below is first imagined as a closed shell, a sort of spatial framework that is available forfurther elaboration.
Through a platform that moves continually through the space and leaves traces in regular intervals onthe outer shell, a linear moving scaffold emerges on the outer superficies.
This outer moving scaffold is realized by the means of a 2cm thick semitransparent Plexiglas , that isfixed to the steel construction lying beneath it.
Into the object itself an oblong lighting equipment that follows the motion line is installed. In this way theobject becomes a complex overall construction.
