EVA
Designed by Foster + Partners, Eva is a free-standing lamp that
meets the need for an indirect light that’s easy to interact with.
It can be placed in the middle of a round dining table, for example.
The idea was to create a cone of light, a subtle yet alluring flux
similar to that of a candle, attractive and also useful. Eva has
a turned aluminium base housing the electronic components,
the LED and the optics, and a glass cylinder closed at the top
by a conical diffuser.
The light flux is projected by way of a holographic filter, a small
primary lens and a large secondary lens onto the upper opaline
cone, while the LED source remains hidden.
Eva also has a tactile dimension: thanks to an encoder system (an
infrared sensor to detect rotation) the intensity of the light can be
precisely controlled by manually operating the ring on its base.
