catenaria di luce serpentine designed by Peter Zumthor has the flavour of summer feasts and cities by night, where endless tangled cables become the protagonists of the urban landscape.
consisting of a suspended wire to which adjustable and fixed lights are attached, catenaria fits elegantly into both indoor and outdoor contexts creating discreet, yet emotional paths of light.
this light fitting was created for ‘Hortus conclusus’, the temporary summer structure that Peter Zumthor designed in 2011 for the Serpentine gallery in London. this temporary, but highly representative installation of great importance in the world of art and architecture was a contemplative space where light redefined architecture as a sensory experience. the very entrance was marked by a catenaria of galvanised iron E27 incandescent light bulbs, as in old village feasts.
a simple and inviting light, familiar, unspectacular, elemental, non-invasive.

IP54 rated suspension light fitting for outdoor use.
made of oxidised and powder coated aluminium light fittings. the glass is blown and entirely hand crafted by master glassmakers.
