Black is not a color per se, but nevertheless or precisely for this reason it is an eternally sought-after tone. Black absorbs the entire visible color spectrum and everything black thus becomes a symbol of the hidden, a mystery. This air of aloofness has long been prized in fashion, and interior design trends also repeatedly draw on the visual impact of black. A real highlight: unique combinations of color and material, such as Black Concrete.
Concrete is the most important material for Stefan Gant. Combined with copper, gold, or wood, the young architect uses it to create expressive lighting fixtures for high-contrast lighting designs. He achieves particularly striking effects with dark-pigmented concrete that shifts between anthracite and dark black-gray. To achieve this, iron oxide pigments, for example, are added to the concrete. These alter the concrete’s reflective properties, causing it to absorb more light: the object appears dark gray or black.
The pendant lights from Gantlights’ C Series look particularly elegant in dark concrete. C Series, pendant light by Gantlights in oak, starting at 799 euros
Dark concrete attracts a lot of attention
“Pigmented concrete has long been appreciated in modern architecture: the malleability, functionality and durability of concrete is complemented by the creative aspect of the color,” explains Stefan Gant. “We also achieve a great effect in product design. Viewers often want to take a closer look at the dark surfaces and are surprised to find that they are actually concrete – a powerful effect that can be used very well for furnishing concepts.”
Arranged as a set, the lights allow for extremely diverse room designs. T2 hanging lamp from Gantlights, 189 euros
Gantlights can be individually configured
The black-grey versions are an integral part of all Gantlights product ranges and are available as delicate pendant lights, square pendant or wall lamps and triangulated floor spots. Some models are provided with a high-quality, freely selectable internal coating in gold, silver or copper, giving the light a pleasantly warm glow.
The C-Series pendant light from Gantlights offers the option to adjust the light via Touch-Dim: gently touching the steel cables dims or brightens the light. The C-Series also offers extensive customization options: available in lengths of 92, 122, 153, and 182 centimeters, and the materials—such as concrete, oxidized copper, oak, or walnut—for the lamp body and shade can be freely combined. Cable color and length can also be customized. The C Series is priced between 799 and 1,999 euros.
