"Dreispitz is a lighting element that has evolved from our
architectural roots. Originally developed for an artist’s studio, this
versatile lamp was reimagined through a series of architectural
projects, including Helsinki Dreispitz in Basel.
Proving its ability to adapt successfully over time, we decided
to finalize the idea into a light system product.
The evolution of Dreispitz has an aluminum extrusion design
that allows greater flexibility in terms of length, mountings and
positioning.
The key to the lamp’s versatility is the triangular central core.
It segments the three possible light sources in different directions.
By sliding the elements in and out of extruded channels, it allows
for the exchange between direct light, diffused light, or no
light at all."
