Twilight

When day meets night

A soft glowing light arises

Blending colors of two worlds

 

The transition of day into night and their moment of coexistence is captured by the two shapes merging into one another. As you wonder how the one shape could have entered inside the other they also seem to naturally coexist in perfect balance. The fiber colors appearing in transparent layers give subtle hints of purple, blue and orange tones, reflecting the dramatic twilight skies.

Playing with different composition of lines, blending of colors to match even more beautiful skies, and finally experimenting with different sizes and shapes blending into each other, the opportunities seem endless. The first Twilight series are only the beginning of a long play of variations to come.

The Twilight lamps are designed using the same Aerospace lightweight engineering principles as Atelier Robotiq’s earlier UFO fiber pattern lamps. The Twilight lamps comprise a minimum of lines exactly enough to represent and hold the shape. Searching for the boundaries of this new kevlar material resulted in a structure, which is unimaginably light and strong. The largest bubble with a height of 64cm and a diameter of 72cm, only weighs 80 grams.
