For designer James Van Vossel, it was time to rethink pure, simple forms.
That’s when the tube came in. And out. His creation, Hollow, reignites the
excitement and mystery surrounding this classical shape. How does it work?
Where’s the light coming from? Lit or dark, open or closed. A symphony
of opposites, Hollow is the luminaire that works with you. Adjustable and
versatile. For spaces that welcome intrigue and personality.
Design that pops
Hollow expresses itself as you interact with it. It’s playful and loves a good
mystery. One design, invisible and visible. In one way, its integration makes it
hide, being one with the environment, showing nothing but glowing cavities.
In its other positions, Hollow complements ceilings or walls, a slight extension
of the surface, casting light in an ocean of space. Hollow is a surprise and
won’t be revealed until you touch. Needless to say, the shy need not apply.
Present, not present
Rediscover light with Hollow’s marvellous, unusual adjustability. Hollow’s
smooth rotation system slides open to let you choose a 90°, 60° or 45°
angle, or anything else in between. A powerful beam comes out one end,
and a glow can be seen from the back side, reflecting off the inner curve of
the cup. When completely horizontal, Hollow offers a discreet, ambient light
emanating from each end of the tube. Designers can play with different light
effects to change the ambience.
Colours to caress
Experiment with colours and use the inner cup’s glow as an additional light
source. Moods and styles will come your way. A white cup will give off a decisive
indirect light effect, while visually blending in completely with the ceiling or the
wall, either with trim or in a trimless version. A black cup will express a stronger,
contrasting presence on a surface, but its indirect light will be softer.
