FLASHWOOD ...A FLASH OF LIGHT!
FLASHWOOD is designed to meet the growing demand for an eco-friendly suspension light with a low environmental impact. With this in mind, the choice of LED lighting technology to save energy was unavoidable. Each of FLASHWOOD’s twelve arms incorpora- tes a 6 Watt LED that produces 425 lumen of light at a temperature of 3000°K and achieves a viewing angle of 120°. The world’s most natural material has been used to make the structure too. The oak wood selected for FLASHWOOD by Masiero comes from forests that are specially managed to prevent deforestation. You can be sure that every tree felled has been replaced according to a strict protocol adopted to safeguard the entire ecosystem. The designers of EGGS STUDIO, the brains behind FLASHWOOD, describe their creation as follows. “In all its most exciting and catastrophic events, the universe has one unchanging constant: light."
The events that transform, revolutionize and change the world are accompanied by flashes of light that produce power and vital energy. FLASHWOOD represents the flash of light that, only for an instant, remains in the air after an explosion. The tips of FLASHWOOD’s arms produce gems of light that project the lines of each arm to- wards infinity. FLASHWOOD’s harmonious shape is formed by lines generated by meticulously developed proportions and perspectives, each section of FLASHWOOD is composed of a single, perfectly balanced form.
