Gyra
Rotating lamp for outdoors
Design: Isao Hosoe with Peter Solomon
Production: Luxo Italiana S.p.A., Italy, 1996
Gyra, is harmoniously in tune with nature. Gyra reflects the environment around it, illuminating it and reacting to the stimulus of the wind that gently turns the lamp on its axis.
It is not a static object, but a dynamic one which moves according to its surroundings.
Gyra moves silently, it takes notice and responds with a slow rotation of its illuminated body. Gyra reads the movement of the air and visualizes it by offering an oscillating light and joy to those around it.
