The Design Story
Alphabet of Light makes it possible to draw with light in space not only through words, but also through graphic signs. Curved linear elements and joints complement the system of letters, numbers, and symbols. The circular element, available in three diameters, is divided into modules that allow the linear elements to be connected at different angles, creating ever-changing geometries.
