For veteran Barcelona-based designer Christophe Mathieu, the spiraling shape of this pendant light playfully shatters the convention of a cleanly regimented form. Piola's central metal column is lacquered the same color as the more than 5 meters of a laminated band that surrounds it, suggesting endless fluidity. Shielding the LED light source within, the fixture emits several different types of illumination—direct downward light, indirect reflected light and a light that escapes between the edges of the spiral, illuminating the fixture itself with a warming glow.
