w242 Pastille alu

A pure disc of light, evolved

In late 2024, w182 Pastille was introduced in a further refined and optimised version. With considerable care and effort, w182 Pastille has been reengineered into an aluminium version: the w242 Pastille alu. It is available in the existing four colours, as well as a new telegray 4 option and a tumbled raw aluminium finish.

Wide spread of qualitative light

Thanks to a perfect balance between a COB LED light source, a large reflector and a generous concave diffuser, w242 Pastille alu provides a spread of warm, soft illumination. The smooth dimming is controlled with a touch of the button on top of the vertical pole.

Smooth rotation

By fluidly rotating upwards, downwards, and around its own axis, w242 Pastille alu freely articulates surfaces to create soft, diffused light as well as gentle yet clear definition.

Recycled and recyclable aluminium

Not only is aluminium a tried-and-tested, classic and infinitely recyclable material – its strength and lightness allow for robust, resource-efficient constructions. w242 Pastille alu consists of partly recycled aluminium, which itself can be recycled at the end of its long lifespan.

Minimal footprint, maximal flexibility

w242 Pastille alu is adaptable to a variety of spatial conditions while taking up minimal space. In addition to the classic desk model, a wide range of mounting options allow it to be clamped to a desk or shelf, attached to a wall, placed on a floor, or integrated into a desk or wall surface with no visible cable.

Attention to detail

Every detail has been given careful thought and is crafted with great precision.

Full-spectrum LED

Designed to recreate the full, uninterrupted colour spectrum of sunlight, full-spectrum light has a rich, profound quality that is impossible to achieve with the limited spectrum of a standard LED. Full-spectrum light also offers superior colour rendering, making it an ideal choice for environments where correct colour perception is a vital aspect.

Raw

w242 Pastille alu is available in a tumbled raw aluminium finish, with no added coatings or protective treatments. This allows for resource-efficient production, easier recycling, and a graceful ageing process. From the start, its naturally textured surface has a rich, tactile depth, with any marks from the production process only adding to its character. Over time, stains, fingerprints, and oxidation will evolve into a beautiful, distinctive patina.
