This is a design philosophy rooted in essentialism, where the luminaire itself recedes, allowing the magic of pure light to take centre stage. Groppi deftly challenges conventions, inviting us to \"switch off the light to illuminate, and switch it on to tell a story,\" crafting an immersive experience. SOTTILE represents a masterful synthesis, where light functions as an alphabet, articulating \"stories made of light,\" fundamentally altering the emotional geography of a space. It speaks to a contemporary desire for clarity and understated drama, where the thinnest blade of light, just 7 millimetres thick, expresses the purest, most essential thought in lighting design, surprising with its extreme brightness from such a dematerialized source.\n\nSOTTILE's ingenuity lies in its almost imperceptible form, an engineering marvel that distills illumination to its very essence. The collection is defined by its ultra-thin profile – a singular blade of light precisely 7 millimetres in thickness, defying expectations of brightness from such a delicate structure. This luminaire is engineered for ultimate versatility, notably designed to be powered by ENDLESS conductive tape, offering seamless integration and architectural purity. Available in both 2700K (852lm up\u002Fdown) and 3000K (897lm up\u002Fdown) colour temperatures, it provides an exquisite quality of light. The system supports advanced control protocols including DALI, PUSH, 1-10V, and TRIAC, with diverse installation options ranging from ceiling and recessed roses (requiring a mere Ø 44 mm plasterboard cut-out and 70 mm mounting depth) to specialized suspension hooks, ensuring flawless execution in any sophisticated environment.\n\nConceived by the visionary Davide Groppi, the SOTTILE design first materialized in 2010, marking a seminal moment in the pursuit of dematerialized light and the elevation of illumination to an art form. This radical approach, focusing on the sheer presence and narrative power of light rather than the luminaire itself, swiftly garnered widespread recognition and critical acclaim within the international design community. Its profound innovation, both in aesthetic purity and technical execution, was formally celebrated with the prestigious Compasso d'Oro ADI Award in 2014. This illustrious accolade firmly established SOTTILE's position as an iconic and influential piece of contemporary lighting design, lauded for its revolutionary spirit and its capacity to fundamentally transform our perception and interaction with artificial light. The collection's profound impact has inspired a new generation of minimalist and experiential illumination, leaving an indelible mark on modern design discourse.\n\nThe SOTTILE collection transcends mere functionality, becoming an intrinsic element in shaping the atmospheric narrative of an interior. Its slender, almost invisible presence ensures minimal visual intrusion, allowing the light itself to perform, whether welcoming, gathering, or creating dramatic shadow play. This fixture excels in defining architectural volumes, producing a light that can either underline the capacity of spaces without shadow or introduce a \"dressed\" softness, rendering environments delicate and sensual. From private residences, exemplified by its use in Yangyang, to high-design commercial and hospitality projects, SOTTILE is commissioned by discerning architects and interior designers who seek to craft emotional geographies. Its adaptable installation methods and refined light behaviour make it the quintessential choice for spaces where purity of form and the subtle power of light are paramount.","Davide Groppi","\u002Fmedia\u002Fbrands\u002Fcollections\u002Fsottile_1773696994_0.jpg",[11,12,14,16,18,20,22,24],{"image":9},{"image":13},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fbrands\u002Fcollections\u002Fsottile_1773696994_1.jpg",{"image":15},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fbrands\u002Fcollections\u002Fsottile_1773696994_2.jpg",{"image":17},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fbrands\u002Fcollections\u002Fsottile_1773696994_3.jpg",{"image":19},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fbrands\u002Fcollections\u002Fsottile_1773696994_4.jpg",{"image":21},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fbrands\u002Fcollections\u002Fsottile_1773696994_5.jpg",{"image":23},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fbrands\u002Fcollections\u002Fsottile_1773696995_6.jpg",{"image":25},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fbrands\u002Fcollections\u002Fsottile_1773696995_7.jpg",[],null]
