Doi suspension
D stands for due' (two); O is the circular element, a disk; and I is the linear element that encloses the light source.
From the interaction and composition of these two elements, the Doi system's circular and linear elements magnetically draw strength and content from each other.
Doi is composed of two elements:
the disk (fixed to the ceiling by a steel cable) and the spotlight (an aluminium extrusion powered by a fine electric cable).
Two primary forms - a ring and a line find constant balance, perfect but inevitably precarious.
The way they interact determines the light's aesthetics, position and functionality.
This relationship is the driving force of the project and is created in two ways,
exploiting two different physical forces:
magnetism and gravity.
The spotlight and disk come in three colour options: white, opaque black,
and satin brass.
The white version of the spotlight has a ridged effect that runs through the surface.
The feature of this system also lies in the possibility of selecting a different
