BELLATRIX Catellani & Smith
The use of gold leaf as a reflective surface is a light motif for Catellani & Smith, experts in fully exploiting its sumptuous warmth, texture and gentle reflective qualities.
A new addition to the range is the sculptural Bellatrix lamp (named not after the Harry Potter witch, but one of the brighter stars in the Orion constellation). A 120cm-diameter aluminium disc, Bellatrix has the typically handcrafted irregular surface lined with gold leaf. It comes in two versions: in the first, radial lines appear to be hand-drawn on the surface, while in the second the design follows centrifugal curves.
The front of the disc is illuminated by nine LED boards (1W, CRI 85) integrated into a 10mm-diameter brass rod, supported by a brass flex, allowing for adjustable lighting orientation. The interaction of the warm (2700K) indirect light with the irregular golden surface creates a striking eff ect.

PAR 18 WALL LAMP Catellani & Smith
Another of those luminaires where there’s more to it than meets the eye. The signature feature of the new Par 18 series, which includes the wall lamp and a chandelier, is the spherical ‘golf glass’ element, which typically plays with irregularities designed into the glass to create lit eff ect. The 16cm diff user is shaped in a mould specifically designed by Bohemian master glassmakers based on specifications and drawings by Spanish company Catellani & Smith. The specially created texture recalls a golf ball, and aims to retain the transparency of the glass while generating a
distinctive interaction of light with the uneven surface of the spheres. As well as gently diff using the light this also creates atmospheric shadow patterns on the wall or ceiling.
A further diff erence with the average static wall light is that the position of the diff user can be adjusted. The brass joint on the base allows a 350° rotation of the sphere on the horizontal axis and up to 90° on the vertical axis. The light beam can therefore be adjusted in diff erent directions and recreate particular eff ects on the wall. The lamp, which has a 9W COB LED (2700K, CRI 83), is available in two finishes, white and black, both with brass elements.
