Named after one of the brightest stars in Orion, Bellatrix announces itself through scale and surface in equal measure. A 120 cm disc of aluminum, lined by hand with gold-colored l eaf, becomes something closer to a celestial object than a fixture, its irregular texture catching light in ways no machine finish could replicate. Enzo Catellani has spent decades developing a singular approach to indirect illumination, one rooted in the belief that light should reveal itself gradually, through reflection and atmosphere rather than direct emission. Bellatrix is a mature expression of that philosophy. Nine LED boards, mounted along a slim brass rod and supported by a brass flex for directional adjustment, cast a warm 2700K glow across the disc's worked surface rather than into the room. Two surface treatments are available: radial lines that read as hand-drawn striations, and centrifugal curves that introduce a sense of motion and rotation. The disc's reverse is finished in blue, the base in white, lending the piece a considered identity even when seen from oblique angles. A Triac dimmable driver allows precise control over the quality of light. 120 cm diameter aluminum disc with hand-applied gold-colored leaf Choice of radial or centrifugal surface pattern Nine integrated LED boards on a brass rod with brass flex articulation 2700K color temperature, Triac dimmable Blue reverse, white base finish Made in Italy Show more
