Description
The Patera family came into being through a creative working relationship between Øivind Slaatto and Louis Poulsen. It is intended to serve as a modern chandelier – a lamp that ties the space together, making the room more welcoming and accommodating. The spherical pendant hovers as a majestic centrepoint in the room, spreading light in all directions. At first glance, it appears to be nothing but a white, perforated ball, but closer inspection reveals its detailed design, which features a host of circles, angles and holes.
How people actually perceive light was a key consideration in the design of the lamp. Øivind Slaatto is quick to admit that Poul Henningsen – who worked with Louis Poulsen to create a range of design icons including the famous PH Artichoke and the three-shade lights – was his mentor in absentia.
Patera emits a soft, pleasant light, whose secret lies in its intricate design: the lamp consists of a variety of differently positioned cells, which ensure that the correct angles are applied to the visor lines of the light and guard against all unpleasant glare. At the same time, the structure staggers the visual centre of Patera, consistently providing new impressions of the light when viewed from different angles.
