Compose, magnetize, illuminate. Without screws, without wires, without cables. The thinnest connected luminous furniture in the world. For the first time, the worlds of furniture and light merge to give birth to the light-furniture. No screws, no wires, no cables. A revolution both in its design and in its technology. A creation by Swiss designer Davide Oppizzi for the brand Manumeta and illuminated by LG Display OLED Light. Brass, a light reflector. With its reflective surface and golden tones, brass warms, ignites and softens the strict, dense character of metal. The OLED light source emits direct radiation onto the metals of the furniture-light fixture and restores in your spaces unexpected and surprising atmospheres, textures and reflections.
A multidimensional design Connect 690 makes screws, wires and cables disappear by conducting electricity through cutting-edge technology. An innovation by Swiss designer Davide Oppizzi, who conceived an audacious concept by integrating all the electrical engineering and LG Display OLED Light panel technology into the 6 millimeters of metal thickness. A touch of golden brass warms the clean lines of the steel. Your light fixtures and accessories attach magnetically to the raw metal furniture by simple magnetic attraction. A degree of sophistication that plays with contrasts between materials, technologies and numbers: warmth and coldness, lightness and heaviness, light and darkness, craftsmanship and technological avant-garde, feminine and masculine, 690 and its divisors. A complex discretion contained within 6 millimetres of thickness that inspires beauty, balance and serenity.
690 millimeters of balance Imagine 8 different sizes of raw steel modules cut to 6 millimeters thick. You stack and combine them from top to bottom and left to right as you wish. And start over whenever you like! Your composition remains constantly balanced and at the desired height thanks to the golden number 690 and its divisors two and three. OLED technology IImagine the LG Display OLED Light luminous systems, one millimeter thick, which receive electricity directly through the conductive metal. Thanks to its soft, warm light source that does not glare and its high-definition color rendering, OLED technology gives raw metal and brass full latitude to express their authentic and natural personality. A single switch for connect 690, whether you choose three or fifty modules, one single switch will turn on your composition. Integrated into the design of connect 690, it has no wires, as it is managed by radio frequency. Fix it wherever you like, or attach it magnetically to your light furniture.
Raw metal - conductive and magnetic While by simple magnetic attraction, the luminaires and accessories of connect 690 attach magnetically to your furniture, imagine an innovative formula incorporated within the 6 millimetres of the metal mass and charged with illuminating the whole. A finish of extreme precision crafted in the Manumeta workshops, requiring an absolute mastery of materials.
Brass, light reflector By its reflective surface and golden hue, brass warms, ignites and softens the strict and dense character of the metal. The OLED light source emits direct radiation onto the metals of the light-furniture and restores in your spaces unpredictable and surprising atmospheres, textures and reflections. The connector, the centerpiece of the work Imagine a connector 69 millimeters long that clamps the lower and upper plates of modules, luminaires and accessories in a vice-like grip, and that features technology which circulates electricity through the conductive metal and distributes it to all elements. A goldsmith's engineering packed into three millimeters of thickness that brilliantly manages positive and negative charges, preserves electricity at low voltage and guarantees at the end of the chain a delivery of 5.6 volts to multimedia and 8.6 volts to light fixtures. An absolute safety system that operates at low voltage.
From raw metal to light. The innovative engineering of connect 690. In oxidized brass to accentuate the warm grain, the connector of the furniture-light surprises with its balance between the level of technicality and the integrated design. A masterpiece that acts as a bridge between the steel modules and distributes electricity to the luminaires and accessories. Without wires, without cables.
The base - source of the current A base, whose sizes are determined according to the golden ratio of connect 690, conceals the electronic management of the radio frequency switch and transformers, the latter ensuring the conversion from 220 volts to a voltage between 8.6 and 5.6 volts. A guaranteed energy saving in this strategic, discreet and invisible location, in brass or steel depending on the style and environment.
