DOI has been created as a suspension lamp system. The typology calls for one or more parts to be suspended from the ceiling by means of a cable, free to move and float in space, until their weight achieves stability to determine their position. The lamp appears to be stable, but is always in a state of tension.
DOI is composed of two pieces: the disk (attached to the ceiling by a steel cable) and the spotlight (in extruded aluminium, powered by a slender electrical wire).
Two basic forms – a circle and a line – that always find a balance, perfect yet inevitably transient. Their mode of interaction sets the image, position and function. This relationship is the driver of the project, and it is achieved in two different ways, relying on two different physical forces: magnetism and gravity.
A small magnet inserted inside the extruded piece attaches it to the iron disk, allowing movement along the circumference, while remaining tangent to it. A simple, natural gesture enables the user to adjust the direction of the light.
The spot and the disk become a single body, which settles into stable balance through the variation of the point of contact, moving around a shared center of gravity.
The disk acts as a counterweight. With its 900 grams of weight, it brings the spotlight towards it, grasping it by the cable. The attachment point of the pendulum on the ceiling, separated by the plate and adjustable, makes it possible to move the light source from the position of the power cable, augmenting the flexibility of the system.
The spotlight and the disk are available in three colors: white, matte black and brushed brass. In the case of the spotlight, the white version has knurled effect that enlivens the surface. The appeal of the system is also based on the possibility of pairing the spot and the disk in preferred hues, ton-sur-ton or in contrast.
