Modular in z-axis

CREATED FOR HIGH CEILINGS

Gravità is an acoustic chandelier that draws the shape from archetypal hemispheric volume of an archaic chandelier. The volume is reduced to a semicircular disc that is then multiplied across the height of the object.

Each panel can be rotated separately thus allowing the user to adjust it to his acoustic, lighting and aesthetic needs. Subtle play of geometrical shapes gives the design a very dynamic and playful character.

L/W/H: 20 / 100 / 200 CM
MATERIALS: PET felt, aluminium, glass

MADE OUT OF RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLES

Semicircular panels are made out of thermoformed felt, sourced from recycled PET plastics most commonly used as plastic bottles.
There are 267 PET 0.5L bottles inside one Gravità chandelier.

ACOUSTIC FEATURES

Great acoustic properties of the felt material make the rotating panels a highly sound absorptive element. Making it ideal for high ceilings, concrete and glass spaces that tend to have bad acoustics.

Sound, Softened

Each panel of Gravità can be rotated on its own, so the chandelier adjusts to the room's light, sound, and mood. A single hemispheric shape, multiplied and turned, becomes a quietly adaptable object.
