Nova Pole-top

The ‘Nova’ family was created after the function of the light itself had been identified: A direct light distribution with an energy efficient LED light source and a glare free light.

The design itself is inspired by a type of stars called novas, often bright white dwarves.

The solution was a gradient glass, clear downwards and transient to opaque, that directs the majority of the light downwards while also distributing the light inside of the spun bowl.
The pearl painted bowl works as a reflector and creates a diffuse light, while the larger lit surface also counteracts glare. With the pole-top luminaire the light is led along the vertical surface, creating a clear silhouette.
