A new concept, where "the lighting body disappears leaving only light", as explained by Marc Sadler, the famous designer that conceived the fixture together with SIMES. It is a simple but revolutionary idea that thanks to its careful engineering has become an industrial product: the aim is that of creating out-and-out luminous cavities inside the material and to conceal the housing as to make the light the only and unique player in the architecture.
