Being integrated to the surfaces onto which it is installed, OpenEye is a luminous wall prosthesis whose inspiration can be found in modern architecture, in objects such as Le Corbusier's "canons à lumière", periscopes to capture the light. It is a lamp that provides diffused light; it can either be suspended from the ceiling or applied onto a wall, and it is perfect both indoors and outdoors.
