Ulrich Sattler (l) and Michael Schmidt (r) developed the Avveni modular lighting system, featuring a biomorphic structure and an ultra-flat lamp head. Avveni has been enthusiastically received by interior designers as the system can be individually designed and tailored to suit different interiors. (Image: SATTLER)

Clarity of form and maximum flexibility were the objectives pursued by the designer and manufacturer in the development of Avveni. The solution includes a magnetic ball joint that allows the lamp head to rotate by 360 degrees. (Image: SATTLER)
This sketch originated during the design phase. Sketches are still a key design tool for Michael Schmidt and his team, used as a first source of ideas. (Image: code2design)
This was how Avveni was envisaged: a light and airy system spreading far across a room, for the perfect illumination of even vast spaces. (Image: SATTLER)

Modular Lighting System
Ulrich Sattler’s preference for clear geometric forms is mirrored by his company. His aim was to create a light from a minimum number of parts that would appeal to many different users. Michael Schmidt and his design agency were the ideal partners for the project, developing a modular system based on a single light to which further elements can be added, creating branched, biomorphic structures. Each system constructed is a one-off piece with a unique character of its own. The ultra-flat flexiblehead of the lamp with an integrated spotlight is particularly striking.
