Tatou S2

Diffused light suspended lamp.‎ External diffuser in Polycarbonate.‎ Internal diffuser in infusion printed opal polycarbonate.‎ ‘Tatou started life as a luminaire that crosses a conventional vault style with a surface that is deciphered through an imaginative language to screen and let the light channel through from inside.‎ The primary models were suspension models, yet they quickly reproduced into a family.‎ Development in different sizes and circumstances in the homegrown climate came naturally.‎ The interaction started by searching for various approaches to recreate films, considered like Japanese reinforcement: a progression of metal clasps astutely joined by tapes with an incredible passionate value.‎ There was then a cycle of disentanglement into covering, punctured, vertical groups bolted together.‎ We made an interpretation of the design into a large scale manufacturing measure by changing to infusion moulding.‎ The covering of these groups has been solidified in three-dimensional cowhide, a variable segment form and by the mathematical pattern.‎ With Flos, the test was to acquire a mass delivered item, while holding solid craftsman connotations.‎ Tatou is French for armadillo: the warm blooded animal renowned for its construction comprised of plates of bone covered with a defensive layer of horn.‎ ‘Tatou’ has an enthusiastic sound to it, which I believe is steady with the passionate capacity of this object.‎ Patricia Urquiola
