Bart Lens, a Belgian architect, designed a large lamp called °sphere to create an encompassing sphere of light above conference tables. The design is inspired by a dome and has been compared to various shapes like a 'Calimero' dome or a giant bell.
Design and Material Specifications
The °sphere lamp is made from ABS plastic and can be finished with optional RAL colors or gold leaf both inside and out. It is available in different sizes: large, medium, and small, with weights of 25.5 kg, 13.5 kg, and 5 kg respectively. Each lamp includes a 2-meter cable, ceiling rose, and suspension, operating at 230VAC.
Lighting Options
The °sphere lamps are equipped with various lighting options, including E27 sockets and LED modules. The LED modules offer different lumen outputs and are dimmable, with options for warm white light at 2700K or 3000K on request. The lamps can be fitted with cover plates to diffuse the light.
Applications and Installations
The °sphere lamps have been installed in various locations, including offices, concept stores, and private residences across Belgium, the USA, and Russia. Notable installations include the Château Fonroque, MRKT in New York, and the 'Offices Mars Company' in Moscow.
Dimensions and Capacities
The lamps come in different dimensions, with diameters ranging from 150mm to 400mm, and can accommodate multiple E27 sockets or LED modules. The maximum wattage varies by size, with the small sphere supporting up to 100W and the medium up to 150W.
Conclusion
The °sphere lamp by Bart Lens is a versatile lighting solution that combines aesthetic appeal with functional lighting options, suitable for a variety of architectural and interior design applications.
Catalog excerpts
°sphere Belgian architect Bart Lens needed a large lamp that would create an encircling sphere of light above the conference table in their office, and so began the search. After a long and fruitless quest, he finally decided to design his own mega-light with the “sphere” of a dome. The result has been likened to a “Calimero” dome, a giant bell, a half moon…. Everybody seems to have a different name for it. Design by Bart L
