‘D70’ is the fruit of an intensive collaboration and dialogue with Nathalie Dewez on the use of reclaimed steel. The fixture makes use of off cuts of industry that are typically stored outside as scrap metal. Because of its exposure to the elements, the aluminium coating on this particular batch of steel started oxidising, creating a beautiful texture of powdery white on the shiny aluminium. Such batches are typically thought unfit for use because the roughness would show trough a layer of paint. By using this degraded material, we question how value is attributed to steel. Is oxidised sheetmetal junk, or can we on the contrary consider it a precious raw material, much like wine that gets character with age?
Each lamp has a different texture.
Diameter 70cm
Depth: 12cm
Sockets: 4 sockets E27 (max 4 × 20 watt). Bulbs included (4 × 4 watt warm white)
The fixture can be mounted as a wall light or a ceiling light.
Cable with powerplug and switch is included but the fixture can also be connected directly on mains.
