Light runs alone a wire. An almost imperceptible wire hung in the air. Like a tightrope walker on a thin rope, the light goes where it’s needed, weightless and wonderful.
Ohm is an electro mechanic project that takes maximum advantage of the characteristics of luminous diodes. The secret of Ohm is a special unipolar wire stretched from wall to wall.
Where the light comes from is hidden, hiding discreetly, giving all the attention to what it is illuminating.
Absolute freedom, absolute spatiality, absolute creativity.
The possibility to take light anywhere, freely. Technology helps to break down the boundaries. Intangible, almost invisible materials, hidden, camouflages conductors, thin cobwebs of filaments that carry and draw the light.
Light running on digital tracks, ultra-light and almost invisible wires, modular tapes that can be laid limitlessly on stairs, windows, glass panels. Circuit that close, accent lighting, ultra-light diodes.
It pays homage to the great German scientist Georg Simon Ohm and to the fundamental principles of electricity. Ohm’s secret is a special single-pole cable running between two walls.
The source is practically hidden, discreet and intangible. Ohm draws the space, creating almost invisible cobwebs that support the diodes, sources of projected light, tiny light sources suspended in a vibrating space.
