Artistry in Light Littman Brands Contract debuts ARCHETTO – a new kinetic LED light sculpture
Littman Brands Contract proudly introduced their latest creation, ARCHETTO, at HD Expo, the premier trade show and hospitality conference for its industry. ARCHETTO is a kinetic hanging LED light sculpture designed by Littman Brands’ manager of design and engineering, Nicolas Baldoni. Inspired by the movement of sound, ARCHETTO offers vibrant colors with dynamic, symphonic motion. To create ARCHETTO, Nicolas drew inspiration from his great-grandfather, Dante Baldoni, a leading manufacturer of string instruments in Argentina during the early 20th century. With its one-inch thick glass tubes, fastened with laser cut polished aluminum connectors and aircraft cable, ARCHETTO constructs the shape and movement reminiscent of a string instrument’s bow. A representation of sound, this fixture rhythmically moves to one of its programmed settings by way of 48 motors, while a synchronized color-changing RGBA displays the rich hues of red, green, blue and amber – illuminating a sound wave pattern. Perfectly orchestrated, ARCHETTO personifies the fluid motion of a musician playing a violin or cello. See ARCHETTO in action at youtube.com/largerthanlight.
