Description
Tatou began life as a luminaire that crosses a traditional dome style with a surface that is interpreted through a creative language to screen and let the light filter through from inside.
The first prototypes were suspension models, but they immediately bred into a family. Development in various sizes and situations in the domestic environment came naturally.
The process began by looking for different ways to reconstruct membranes, conceived like Japanese armour: a series of metal buckles cleverly united by tapes with a powerful emotional value.
There was then a process of simplification into overlapping, perforated, vertical bands riveted
together.
We translated the design into a mass production process by transitioning to injection moulding. The overlapping of these bands has been crystallised in three-dimensional leather, a variable section mould and by the geometric pattern.
With Flos, the challenge was to obtain a mass produced product, while retaining strong artisan connotations.
