Mandalaki Halo Black Hole
A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing – no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light – can escape from it.
The only light emitted is that of the incandescent gas that revolves around it before disappearing into the darkness.
Through this new perspective we want to reproduce this incandescent gaseous light which represents the only element that allows us to identify a black hole in the universe, one of the most mysterious celestial bodies that have always made us reflect on our existence.
An increased height and a new generation fixed optical body allow you to view the light projection in large dimensions without compromising shape and concept.
Materials: Black anodized aluminium, powder-coated steel and glass
Requirements: Halo Black Hole is an artwork that requires a dark environment
Power: 8 Watt – Dimmable
Dimension: h180cm
Mandalaki is a product and consulting design firm founded in 2012 by Enrico De Lotto, George (Koli) Kolliopoulos and Giovanni Senin in Milan, Italy. Davide Giovannardi became a partner in 2013.
Mandalaki explores the intersection between art, design and technology to create unique pieces of high quality and conceptual values as a result in their consistent innovative approach between industrial and artisanal processes.
Extremely pure shapes conceal years of meticulous technical and aesthetic research that characterize their iconic and recognizable products, architectures and art pieces.
Each project is connected to one another: from modular micro houses to electric car, from lighting installations to furniture. The projects are driven by the research of essentiality and functionality as well as sustainability and performance.
In the recent years, Mandalaki focused on an extended research of the nature of lighting which has led to the creation of Halo Project. The intention is no longer to perceive the light as a source of illumination but as a precise and defined graphic projection. An union is then established between both entities: the physical object and the metaphysical projection. The result is a new family of lamps designed for different landscapes, capable of creating worlds of nuance in which people can dive in as a source of new energy.
In 2018 Mandalaki designed Monocabin Prefab, a tiny house, to explore the intimate space of the individual. The architecture was conceived such as a livable design object while promoting a democratic and unique vision. The result is a miniature modular house with the first prototype build in Rhodes and available to visit in order to discover this experience offered by the design studio. Today, Monocabin presents three different sizes of a highly smart, functional and eco-friendly prefab house which can be placed anywhere around the world.
Mandalaki strongly believe in interdisciplinary approach to bring value to their works and empowering their networks from artists to scientists.
