U-Light, rings of light in space

Design Timo Ripatti

Both original and iconic, U-Light stands out for its frame, which is made of two slim curved aluminium lines: one line forms an upside-down U and the other a ring underneath it, where the light source is housed.

The lamp is therefore extremely light-weight and, despite this fact, it is designed to lend installations a strong scenic impact: two-dimensional elements give the three-dimensional impression of a dome, as if the two simple lines concealed within themselves an invisible volume which is indeed a presence in space.

The simple and original design of this model makes it perfect for both high-impact private settings and big public and commercial spaces. The three different sizes and the two finishes available (painted anthracite grey and rust brown) can be mixed and matched to create original light compositions.

The LED strip incorporated into the frame diffuses a soft, dimmable white light soften by an acrylic diffuser.

U-Light was presented for the first time ever at the ICFF 2016 in New York and has already received two accolades: the NYCxDESIGN Award, organised for the first time by ICFF in conjunction with the magazine Interior Design, and the Finnish Design Top 12 (selection of the 12 best products 2016 realized by Finnish companies or designers) bestowed on the occasion of the Habitare fair in Helsinki.
