CRAFTING SUSTAINABILITY
IN TIME & SPACE
Sylt takes the concept of a track capable of powering
and supporting multiple lighting elements to the extreme,
providing both high-tech and expressive beauty.
In a minimum section the two copper conductors, extruded
with a section of thermoplastic insulating material, are left
exposed to view yet fully safe. A slim band of harmonic steel
runs along the back, forming the profile and allowing the
different geometric shapes to be plied and retained.
The track turns into a belt which can be bent at the
construction site, simply, to accommodate any geometric
shape dictated by the lighting requirements and by the
architecture.
It is possible to outline curves that are accentuated to different
extents, free and sinuous shapes that come together with a
wealth of light performance.
Sylt is a paradigm shift in the absence of geometric restrictions
on its compositions, in the inclusiveness it accommodates
with multiple lighting elements, from the most innovative
versions such as Helgoland, to high-tech solutions like Vector,
minimal lamps like Sphere and a diffusing module, through to
elements designed by other designers, such as Unterlinden
by Herzog & de Meuron, Gople mini and La linea 25 by BIG -
Bjarke Ingels Group.
This system has been pared down to the minimum in its
structure but not in the performance it delivers.
From a single point, it can run continuously for 10 meters,
guaranteeing the utmost freedom in space and optimising
the installation.
The lighting elements connect to the track with an adapter
which combines power supply, management and mechanics.
