equipped with a very thin and forward-looking OLED source, bernd unrecht presents ‘3×3 mach 9’, a series of movable fixtureswhich produce more than 250 lumens. based on a kinetic arm system, the lighting creates various illumination scenarios – turning like plant leaves in a helix form. because of the shadows casted by each individual geometric structure, the surface of the extruding light source creates a glare-free spot light. manufactured in aluminum and steel, the height-adjustable can be easily configured due to its steel wire construction.
