Description
Copper tubes nestled in blackened metal, engineered to cast light where you need it while preserving mystery elsewhere. The name says everything: clear-obscure, the French chiaroscuro that painters spent centuries perfecting, now made architectural.
Raak Amsterdam in the 1960s produced lighting that treated rooms like canvases. The kind of proportions that make sense whether your ceilings are 2.4 meters or 4. Copper develops its own patina, metal holds its shape through decades of use.
Good industrial design before everything became smart and forgot to be intelligent.
