Somnium

Somnĭum is a system born from the fusion of optical, structural, and production elements, brought to life through transparency. At its core there is an optical cell, engineered for maximum efficiency and optimal perception. Much like a cell, it reproduces and collaborates within the system, creating a seamless flow.

The optical calculation daringly embraces the material’s transparency, achieving a flawless blend of all the elements typically found in a lighting control system.

The lens, the primary tool for gathering and directing light, combines with the anti-glare, typically used to shield vision for increased comfort. These two elements, traditionally contrasting in material, converge into a single component.

The louvre is no longer an accessory but an integral part of the optics itself. The result is perfectly within all parameters of comfort and correct perception, it even achieves a UGR<16 but does so effortlessly through light itself, in the active collaboration of the elements.

The resulting emission is a soft, comfortable light that opens up into the space with a controlled beam of 2x31°. The optical element, crafted from a singular material, embodies sustainable industrial intelligence in its design. It reduces material diversity, minimises weight, and simplifies production steps.

The patented optical synthesis is the principle through which to design the reality of lighting within space thanks to a system of linear and curved modules.

The direct emission is accompanied by an indirect emission that develops along its modules to balance the relationship of light with the environment. This second emission is also reduced to a minimum in its physical presence, and without adding anything redundant it becomes a support that contributes to the structure of its slender profile.

Somnĭum is light that does not dress itself up as something surplus, but synthesises the essentials according to defined parameters.
