With Aaro, the magician, Simon Schmitz, makes his lights levitate… The starting point of the lamp from the young German designer is an act: the desire to create as fluid a movement as possible. This immediately guided him towards a sphere shaped joint, which leaves room for infinite directions. The sphere is the central element of the lamp, it connects the two arms to one another. A sphere which has neither left nor right, nor up or down. As the central element of the lamp, this sphere allows all the rest to gravitate around it. Geometry, balance, friction: it all rests on the sphere. It all points to it. Aaro is an object which seems to float in the air, gravitating around its central sphere, like planets in orbit. The Aaro pendant has a clean assembly of elementary forms: sphere, discs and tubes. Its long arm (L 162 cm) ends on one side with a diffuser which contains an LED source, and on the other with a steel disc serving as a counterweight. Like a mobile, this large light sculpture moves fluidly in space to direct the light accurately. The long, tilting arm can rotate through 365°. Its hi-tech joint holds the arm perfectly stable in any position. It has a movable diffuser, The lamp casts a powerful, non-dazzling LED light. The designer, Simon Schmitz: “For me a light is a sculpture. I use the light as a material.”
