Ripple Applique Applique

Ripple Applique Applique is an innovative lighting fixture design that draws inspiration from the mesmerizing natural phenomenon of raindrops meeting water surfaces, translating this dynamic interaction into a sophisticated architectural lighting solution. The design conceptualizes the ripple effect through a series of concentric rings crafted from either brass, copper, or metal sheets, each individually hammered to create organic textures that echo the natural undulations of water. This versatile lighting fixture, which earned recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category, demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship through its hand-constructed nature, utilizing traditional metalworking techniques executed by master artisans. The design's modular nature allows for customization in both size and configuration, with the largest variant featuring a 60-centimeter outer diameter and the ability to incorporate varying numbers of rings to suit specific spatial requirements. The fixture's innovative construction method involves precision-cut rings welded together with copper rods, creating calculated spaces between each circular element that contribute to its distinctive lighting effect. When illuminated, the applique produces an indirect, dimmable light that creates an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy, making it particularly suitable for both residential and commercial interior spaces. The design's versatility is further enhanced by its ability to be mounted on either walls or ceilings, installed individually or in clusters, and finished with electrostatic paints in various colors to complement different interior schemes.
