An important aspect of its design has been to lend it effective glare control, which can be adjusted to suit the user’s needs. This glare control consists of a reflector and an aluminium disc in the lower part of the luminaire. This disc also serves as a counter-weight when the reflector is moved. This design thus made further elements unnecessary, elements which would have obtruded the uniform language of form. Through both the possibility to change between direct and indirect illumination and the mechanical adaptability of the reflector, the intensity of lighting can again and again be comfortably varied, thereby creating different lighting effects in the room. This pendant luminaire successfully embodies an interesting symbiosis of form and function – with its design that consistently complements its functionality, it creates a new aesthetics.
