Patera Oval design pendant luminaire with direct light at the bottom and indirect light at the sidesPatera Oval is a light source that is simple at first glance but excellently thought out. The flat-oval shade made of matt white plastic is divided into numerous diamond-like cells. Through these, the light of the integrated LEDs is emitted downwards without hindrance so that, for example, the table surface below is directly illuminated. If the observer is outside a cone of 40° below the luminaire, the light source is no longer visible. The light is reflected by the side walls of the cells, emitted indirectly and creates a soft ambient lighting in the room. By using an included diffuser, the light emitted directly downwards can also be glared.The Danish designer Øivind Slaatto used the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical series of consecutive numbers, each resulting from the addition of the two previous numbers, as a model for the design of the structure. This sequence is revealed in numerous natural objects, such as the structure of leaves or snail shells.The Patera luminaire series ideally complements the maxim of the luminaire manufacturer Louis Poulsen, founded in 1874, to give form to light with deliberate designs and to generate a positive effect on people and space.- external DALI-dimmable
