Catellani & Smith Macchina della Luce

The Catellani & Smith Macchina della Luce collection is a series of seven pendant and three wall lights. All lamps of this series are available in different surfaces. The pendant lamps of this series have aluminum discs of different sizes. The aluminum discs are covered with gold foil, silver foil or copper. Depending on the surface of the disc, the rods are made of brass (on the gold-plated or copper discs) or nickel-plated (silver-plated discs). LED boards are integrated as light sources. These light sources of the pendant lamps are integrated in the lower discs and aligned in such a way that they illuminate the upper disc. The pendant lights create a diffuse light that allows reflective light effects due to the irregular surfaces. The Catellani and Smith Macchina della Luce mod. A is a pendant lamp with four diffuser discs. From top to bottom the diffusers have a diameter of 80, 50, 30 and 18 cm. The mod. B has two diffuser discs. The lower disc has a diameter of 18 cm, the upper one 80 cm. The Catellani & Smith Macchina della Luce mod. C has three discs.
