精英設計師Øivind Slaatto擅長從自然里提取靈感，與Louis Poulsen一起創造了非同尋常的創意燈具Patera。
“Patera的誕生源于我對斐波那契數列的想象。你可以在自然中處處看見螺旋圖案，無論是太陽花的種子排列還是松果，這些自然之物也啟發了諸如達芬奇、塞巴斯蒂安等在歷史上具有名望的科學家。” Øivind Slaatto談到他的新燈具設計時如是說。
“Patera是一款現代吊燈，這是一盞可以統領整個空間的燈，為居住空間帶來更多人性化的氛圍。”這個球形的吊燈懸掛在空中，塑造了一種莊嚴的效果，將燈光散射到每一個方向。第一眼看它時，你會認為它只是一個白色的鏤空球體，但當你仔細觀察時就可以看到它的細節之精密，由許多曲線、角度和孔構成的完整球體。
人們如何看待燈光對于此燈具的設計師來說至關重要，并且促成了與Louis Poulsen的合作。Øivind Slaatto認為Louis Poulsen的合作者Poul Henningsen創造了一系列經典設計，包括著名的PH Artichoke燈和three-shade燈，為他在設計方向上提供了一些指引。
Patera燈傳遞了一種柔和愉悅的光線，這樣的效果源于復雜的設計：這個燈由許多不同位置的部件組成，保證每一個光源都放在了正確的位置上，不會引起不適的感受。同時，整個燈是一體的，持續從不同的角度照亮空間。
柔和的燈光讓Patera能夠適應所有的環境：無論是餐廳、大堂還是入口、接待室、會議室。Patera讓人們被自然般舒適的光線包圍，不會產生生硬的光影效果。從整個造型上來說，這款燈簡約而精致，意味著它能夠與各種風格無縫銜接。
Taking nature as his inspiration, the elite designer Øivind Slaatto has created a new and unusual light through a creative partnership with Louis Poulsen.
“Patera was born of my fascination with the Fibonacci sequence. You can find the spiral pattern wherever you look in nature – in the seed formation in sunflowers and pine cones, for example – and it has previously inspired Leonardo da Vinci, Johan Sebastian Bach and many other great artists from history,” relates Øivind Slaatto regarding the source of inspiration for his new light.
“Patera is intended to serve as a modern chandelier – a light that unifies the space and makes any room a more human place to spend time in.” The ball-shaped pendant floats like a majestic focal point in the room, spreading light in all directions. At first glance, it seems to be just a white, perforated ball, but closer inspection reveals its detailed design featuring a host of circles, angles and holes.
How people actually perceive light was a key consideration in the design of the new model, which arose from a close working relationship with Louis Poulsen. 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 light 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.
The pleasant light emitted by Patera suits a variety of contexts: everything from dining table settings, halls and entrances, to reception areas and meeting rooms. Patera illuminates people around it in a credible, natural light, without generating inappropriate shadows on their faces. Stylistically, the light is simultaneously simple and refined, which means that it blends seamlessly into most interior design set-ups, modern and classical alike.
Patera is available in a diameter of 600 mm, and is made of white synthetic material. The entire assembly process is carried out by hand. Patera is light and airy, making it simple to install in a great many settings. Patera is supplied with an E27/E26 fitting, which allows the use of a variety of light sources, including LED. The light is also available with an integrated LED solution.
