Mathematical beauty
AUSTERE-ELEMENTS(2016) expands the AUSTERE collection. The lighting designer creates chemistry using the aesthetic desires of a perfectionist. Molecular compounds are the inspiration. The potential for branching in X, Y, + or- structures is a mathematical beauty, functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Compositions using AUSTERE-ELEMENTS are always personal in nature. This structure inspires the creative use of light points, to achieve different lighting effects vertically or horizontally. The solid brass parts, subtle suspension with leather straps and beautiful light sources guarantee a superb end result: a pattern radiating simplicity and vitality.
There are no limits to the changes and extensions you can make. This exceeds the ordinary. The logic of the whole speaks for itself. Suitable for residential and project-based use and as building blocks for something bigger.

- Unique base connectors, up to 13 elements using a single power point
- Spacers in different lengths and height (three lengths) for complete freedom when creating compositions

Concept
The essence of light. A graceful gesture, pure in form, clear in function. A bell of light reminiscent of a Chinese lantern, a small and simple lamp. It gets a specific character that seems to feel at home anywhere. The power of simplicity makes it a natural object but with a mysterious stratification.
The construction of the armature is subtle and functional. With a limited number of parts, varied models are available for ceiling, table, wall and floor, giving each model the same finesse.

Hans Verstuyft Architects was founded in 1992. Our projects are various in scale and program as we look for challenging assignments, which we love to study. Our work is based on the specific conditions each project has. The result is an analysis of these conditions: program, surroundings, budget, users, light,...but also more subjective elements like feeling, warmth, comfort, touch, sensuality. We want to include in our projects a way of life, and not only a rational solution. Our way of thinking architecture might be seen as traditional in a way that we don't want to make fashionable buildings. We think architecture is to last, and to give living new opportunities for each generation. Future buildings must have a soul that inspires the users and invites them to live in. Our inspiration is to think sober, to reduce. We see the same in fashion, dance, art. Sober works often have a strong appearance.
