Bird
Minimalist design for office settings in just 55mm (21 1/2") in thickness. Bird joins innovative and functional design with state-of-the-art lighting technology.
Clean lines and an eye to detail, typical of the Scandinavian design culture it has arisen from, can be found in the solutions
adopted for coupling inspection ports and, in particular, in the header closure system, where colour insets fit perfectly inside the
extruded part, maintaining alignment with the profile's edge.
Designed for pendant installation, both single and in a system, Bird boasts the utilisation of an innovative optical principle by
which the diffuser or the Dark light optics are lowered with respect to the profile section. In this way, a small portion of the emitted
light is guided onto the lower, micro-reeded surface of the fixture. This contributes to creating a striking, diffuse light effect, which
contains the perceived high luminance on the diffuser for improved visual comfort.
With Bird it is also possible to manage the modality by which to light a room: direct, indirect or combined in a single fixture. Despite
its minimal thickness, thanks to its shape the structure can house three optics compartments: one in the lower part and two in the upper
section, each one of which houses as many as 4 new-generation linear fluorescent light sources.
At any time during the day the user can evaluate which combination to use and which ambiance to set.
Prismatic transparent and opal diffusers are available for direct emission. Alternatively it is possible to select lamellar technique
dark light optics for controlled, low-luminance direct emissions (L<1.000 cd/m2 per a>65° with UGR<19).
Its photometric features allow to install the fixture even in environments where visually demanding tasks are carried out and
directly above work surfaces with Visual Display Units.
The simplification of installation and maintenance operations was one of the design process objectives. A structure-integrated
cursor device is able to correct any longitudinal non-alignment. The power supply unit compartment is built in the fixture and can
be inspected.
