The SESTOSENSO is a seamless, curving, white wall extension to the Flos showroom and low-hanging red and white conical lamps. As with the BMW headlights, the source of light remains hidden, only the light itself is guided through a transparent body, rendering the light source invisible and forever changing its qualities.
Stepping inside one of the impressive SESTOSENSO red lights, a video of the BMW 6 Series Coupe reveals itself on the vast white wall.
“As if accessing a sixth sense, there is a hint of movement in the corner of the eye. Through the light we see the car: through the car, we understand the light,” the company explains. “The playful sculptural pieces softly illuminate, stimulate and allow contemplation. Cocksedge gives us elegant, 'functional brilliance'.”
A hand made Limited Edition of 66 SESTOSENSO light sculptures, designed by Paul Cocksedge Studio for Flos, has been released for this special event, to celebrate the perfect fusion of light, design and technology.
The adaptive Full-LED headlamps of the new BMW 6 Series Coupe are an innovation in the field of lighting technology. It generates bright white light to assure an especially intensive and uniform illumination of the roadway. “This technique, which is being serially deployed for the first time in the BMW 6 Series Coupe, facilitates an impressive restaging of BMW design icons such as the round headlamps and the taillights,” BMW says.
