Axo Light celebrates 10 years of the Clavius collection: pendants, ceiling lamps, wall lamps, floor lamps and table lamps featuring a handmade lampshade with silky threads, mounted on a metal frame. Over the years Clavius has maintained its allure of precious but sober elegance and has continued to be a best seller for the company and is included in many projects.
The name is inspired by the film "2001: A Space Odyssey"
The name Clavius comes from the crater of the moon base imagined by Stanley Kubrick. Lorenzo Truant, Art Director at Axo Light, says about Clavius “at the time I had just re-watched 2001: A Space Odyssey. I had been fascinated by the presence of the Monoliths that appeared in the film at key moments of the story and when I saw the first drawings by the designer Manuel Vivian, I mentally associated them immediately with the Monoliths because I saw the same auratic presence and the same fascinating stereometry”.
A new colour for the lampshade, new product types and new features in terms of frame finish
The new catalogue, published to coincide with the birthday of Clavius, includes major new features: the introduction of the new and elegant sand-coloured lampshade, the gold finish of the frame and typological development with the introduction of new pendant and ceiling lamps. Sophisticated new entry that enriches the collection and makes it even more seductive.
LED technology also for Clavius
Starting from this year, the whole Clavius collection features LED technology in addition to other light sources already in the catalogue: halogen, fluorescent, incandescent with screw fitting, fluorescent with dedicated fitting. The integrated LEDs are dimmable using the DALI system.
