The Duo Collection, now with a walnut finish, adding to its aesthetic applications

The Ramos & Bassols design which combines contrasting natural materials such as timber and metal, results in a collection of opposites that blend material and technology to create a light fitting that can easily adapt to any interior environment. The approach of mixing the natural looking warm wood finish with the technical prowess of the metal shell brings a highly evocative visual harmony, framing a richly sensual lighting.

Available in two sizes, the Duo collection design based on simple volumes featuring circular and semicircular shapes that look like rooflights, channel the lighting from the exterior to the indoors setting.

During its development Ramos & Bassols wanted to generate a vibrant plane of light that would integrate the organic and the technical in order to complement contemporary architecture, an objective that was fulfilled through Duo and its expression as a warm and timeless landscape on the ceiling.

Along these lines, interior designers have the perfect ally with the Duo collection in creating projects that synthesise craftsmanship and technology as a common thread. And in their pursuit of the perfect ceiling lights, select ones that respect this sensibility while also offering an even, immersive lighting consistent with these same values.

The natural warmth of Duo is achieved primarily through its internal finish featuring a walnut timber grain, underlining its connection with the natural world and representing the essence of the collection. Up till now the design was centred on oak timber but now the new walnut version is available for spaces where a deeper and more elegant tone is required.

The walnut finish is increasingly popular with interior designers, eschewing passing trends, featuring a timeless tone that has always had a distinctive air about it. Combined with the aluminium shell which acts as the architectural frame for the light, the walnut timber for the Duo collection is an innovative addition to underline its natural essence with a little extra sophistication, resistance and personality.

The enduring aesthetic of this solution makes it easy to integrate, both for classic design settings as well as modern ones, and depending on the combination of materials, Duo offers a different perception of the lighting. The exterior finish in graphite adds contemporary sophistication, the cream lends seamless harmony, while white reinforces the purity and luminous combination. And as far the internal finishes go, the oak timber provides a pared back warmth while walnut brings a natural look with great character.

The Duo collection offers a wide range of possibilities, facilitating mixing and matching designs and finishes, and provides design professionals with a fascinating opportunity to hone the look they want to achieve, perfectly in tune with the requirements of individual space. And all this without sacrificing its core aspect, which combines technology and nature.
