“A line is not just anelement connecting
two points…
but the expression of one’s freedom”.
Continum
? Product We wanted to create a lighting fixture that had no limitsas to use, function or esthetics. We wanted to minimize
the design to the utmost and work with it freely during
the design phase. Those were our requirements. The visi-
ble surface had to be minimal, while inside – in the hid-
den part – we left free space for technology. The integra-
tion of esthetics and technology was perfect. That is why
we can say that we have created an object which, being
a “technological-symbol”, goes beyond the definitions of
“design object” and becomes a sophisticated design-
planning tool.

thought – freely.” >

symbol which, through its free composition, allows the
designer to express his/her ideas of shape. It is a sort of
metaphorical Ariadne’s thread.
Freedom of expression and thought, infinite possibilities
for creating, for play – these were the concepts behind
CONTINUM. We believe that every
design architect’s and desi-
gner’s dream is to have a tool in hand that doesn’t say
anything by itself – a body without design, but with a vast
range of functional light sources that can fit into any
architectural language according to his/her ideas, imagi-
nation and “way of
lights.” >
