The archetype of a new generation of smart accessories
Designed by Andrea Federici for Domus Line, META is a unique design featuring a structural linear profile fitted with two single or dual colour D-MOTION and D-MOTION WAVE light sources, one on the lower side and one on the upper side, combined with elegant shelves having a depth of 100 mm (META-100) and 150 mm (META-150). The shelf hooks onto the groove of the structural profile with a simple gesture allowing the product to be configured according to specific space organisation requirements.
In this way, the shelf is transformed into a true furnishing accessory, offering dynamism and movement to the walls and guaranteeing the typical functionality of support with the different shelves, each of which features an elegant containing edge. META-100, recommended for application in the kitchen, ensures order while giving the decor an extremely light effect. META-150 is recommended for setting up bookcases, minimalist wall units, decorating entrance halls as a pocket emptier or as a shelf at the side of beds.
“Furnishing with light is one of the trickiest aspects to get right in a home. It requires using an intangible component to shape spaces, enhance rooms, convey emotions and suggest use for the people who will be experiencing these spaces and rooms. META,” – explained Andrea Federici, – “is a furnishing element designed to discreetly accompany everyday life in the kitchen, the living room and the bedroom, wherever there is the need to furnish while offering technological performance that goes beyond the simple concept of a furnishing accessory. Being able to manage the brightness, colour temperature and direction of the light beam, USB-C ports and electrical sockets and implementing the capability of interfacing with voice assistants, are functions that transcend being a common piece of furniture and make META the archetype of a new generation of smart accessories”.
