The Line, Globes and Discs (fig. 19 and fig.
20) collection is a versatile series based on the
concept of discs and globes being aligned on
a tube. This tube can be short or long, it can
be straight or bend around walls, it can bend
from a wall to a ceiling.
It is both a geometric exploration and a
practical response to specific spatial needs.
Sometimes a space has an electric outlet in
one specific spot in the wall or ceiling, but the
light is mainly needed elsewhere.
The Line, Globes and Discs series connects
the outlet with the desired light location.
While solving a practical problem, a
surprising geometry might emerge, such as
the light going around corners or from a wall
to a ceiling.
In the end, the practical problem was the
starting point for a concept that ended up
having a design character of its own and thus
a value and purpose that freed itself from the
initial ‘raison d’être’.
