Hoops, dynamic and static in perfect balance

Orbits of gold

Armillary spheres are machines of yore that trace celestial orbits and often represent the sun at their centre. In a similar way, Hoops – the "light machine" – creates orbits of gold in space, in a new concept of astronomy imagined by designer Giovanni Barbato.

The warm light of LED

Curved wire anchored to a coil core with integrated LED, all finished in 24 k gold. The Hoops collection is available in four suspended versions and two ceiling versions. The warm LED light, dimmable and with up and downlight functions in the suspended versions, becomes a fulcrum of golden circles swirling around it, formed by trails of light that dance around the central star: the Sun.
