Skyline
Illuminated city silhouettes.
Context
SKYLINE lamp was developed as a graphic light object translating iconic city silhouettes into atmospheric ambient lighting.
The initial concept in punched sheet metal proved too limited in detail and too costly in production. A strategic material shift defined the final product direction.
Product
SKYLINE is a backlit glass artwork featuring detailed city silhouettes, illuminated by a remote-controlled RGB LED system.
The skyline motif is silk-printed onto tempered glass using an opaque ink that fully blocks light, creating a sharp, high-contrast silhouette.
Available in 74 cm and 50 cm widths, the object can be wall-mounted or used as a freestanding piece with detachable feet.
The product architecture was extended into nine city editions, from New York to Hong Kong.
