"TOTEM DE LUZ by kutarq studio is conceived as a object that explores the relationship between light, movement, and spatial perception. Positioned between and functional design, the piece integrates mechanical components to enable adjustable illumination through physical interaction. The structure is composed of stainless , nautical tensioners, pulleys, and counterweights, combined with an onyx diffuser and a sphere reflector."
"In its upper position, the light is directed toward an onyx diffuser, which softens and disperses illumination upward, producing indirect ambient light. When lowered, the beam is redirected through an oval opening on the side of the structure, generating a more concentrated light suitable for reading or task-oriented use."
"Through its exposed mechanics and material composition, TOTEM DE LUZ by kutarq studio operates as a lighting system that integrates motion, reflection, and diffusion within a single vertical element."
TOTEM DE LUZ by kutarq studio is a kinetic lighting object that explores the relationship between light, movement, and spatial perception. The structure uses stainless steel, nautical tensioners, pulleys, and counterweights combined with an onyx diffuser and a glass sphere reflector to create a visible mechanical system. A double-pulley mechanism allows the spotlight to shift vertically, changing beam direction and character. In the upper position the light is directed toward the onyx diffuser to produce indirect ambient illumination; when lowered, the beam passes through an oval side opening for concentrated task lighting. The object functions as both a lighting system and mechanical installation, integrating motion, reflection, and diffusion.
