Indirect light is a classic ambient lighting technique. By focusing on exceptional light distribution, w164 Alto offers a new, dynamic solution for agile office environments as well as intimacy and atmosphere in the home.
The light pole houses a sophisticated 4459 lumen multidirectional LED technology with an impressively even, super-wide-angle light distribution. w164 Alto works well even in rooms with low ceilings, making it an ideal alternative to conventional general lighting.
With its small footprint and simple plug-and-play functionality, w164 Alto is easily adaptable to shifting environments, preferences and needs.
The top disc of the base is an integrated dimming wheel and switch. The teeth from the rotation plate interrupt the IR signal at the light barriers, allowing a seamless transition from powerful yet friendly general lighting to a more intimate atmosphere.
Pared down to the absolute bare basics – two cylindrical units, paired in an off-centre constellation – w164 Alto makes a bold, graphic statement with its brutalist, deconstructionist architectural references.
Dirk Winkel is a Berlin-based product designer who graduated from the Royal College of Art London, MA Design Products in 2010. Specialized in lighting and furniture design, he set up his design office in Berlin in summer 2011. Driven by the idea of formal purism as a basic principle of sustainability, his great interests are the exploration of pushing the boundaries of mass production techniques, the rethinking of light and lighting paradigms, and the investigation of new materials and their ecological and design potential. Since 2012 he has been teaching Design Construction at the Industrial Design course of the UdK Berlin. In 2022, he was appointed guest professor for product design at the HBKsaar. His work has won numerous awards and nominations like the Swedish Design Award (Svensk Form), Designs of the Year (London Design Museum), the German Design Award (Special Mention) and the Editors‘ Choice Award (Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair).
