A design that stands out
Nothing short of the unexpected, Pupil is full of surprises and contradictions. Using nature as his muse, Dutch designer Basten Leijh created this organic, quirky shape: the downlighter that does the opposite. Nonconformity and functionality blend beautifully in this family, and there’s even more to it than meets the eye.
Small and curvy, the oval shape ends abruptly, cut off at an angle. An organic design inspired by the curious eyes of a crab, Pupil is not for a discreet expression. It demands attention. Unlike most recessed downlights, it playfully sticks out of the ceiling.
The asymmetry and adjustability of Pupil create optical puzzles that will make expressions have expressions. The light beam and the position of the housing simply can’t agree. For a light beam pointing straight down, tilt the housing slightly up. For a 30° beam angle, point the housing straight down. Tilt the body 30°, and you have 60° light orientability for a wall-wash effect.
