Luceplan by Sebastian Bergne
From Sebastian Bergne's able hands and brilliant mind, ''Curl'', the new table lamp branded, has been conceived.
The London based designer is already celebrated on an international level despite his young age. A graduate from ''The Royal College of Art'' of London, class of 1990, he boastscollaborations with some of the most important manufacturers, different international design awards, frequent publications, exhibitions and inclusion in permanent collections such as The Museum of Modern Art (New York) and the Design Museum (London). With his last effort he has given life to a complex design thinking in which function is balanced with interaction and play.
Curl is a lamp of a linear, clean and modern look; but its innovation is noticeable from every point of view due choice of materials to the manufacturing process: from product durability to product maintenance.
Looking at it, it seems to be in front of a sculptural version of Hokusai's Great Wave off Kanagawa, in its linear, energetic and current essence.
This piece of lighting is fixed on the borderline between technology and functionality, and gets by without charming aesthetics nor following a particular temporary trend.
Curl contains a special LED module that permits variation of the temperature of white light, from 2400 to 3500 degrees Kelvin, thanks to simple rotation of the diffuser. The switch at the center of the base also has a dimmer function, and gives the possibility of creating light games and various atmospheres.
You could not expect nothing less from a collaboration so interesting. Along this lines has born a lighting fixture that has not been designed for short-lived wonder, but to be the natural outlet of a continuous, ongoing drive dedicated to the essence of every project, a fastidious care of detail and steady improvement. The result of this consistent experimentation that in turn implies skilled technological research. It is the outcome more of an ''intellectual'' production then the pursuit of a trend or a fleeting mode, according to Luceplan's philosophy.
