HAL is a modular lamp that can create simple, serial geometric figures in space or become the figure itself.

Like in a theatrical scene, light can clearly describe the role of relationships between things. HAL is a device capable of transforming space into a stage. A theater of daily life marked by slabs of light, accent points, neutral and homogeneous backgrounds, and characters moving through space, assuming different hierarchies and roles. Thus, a simple lighting system can change the way we inhabit spaces.

It is a technological device designed for the working and retail world, containing different types of light: diffuse and spot.

It hides a point source inside that punctures the light screen with a beam of light, a blend of light intensities with a technological core—an unprecedented combination that recalls a theatrical backstage, the scenes of Bob Wilson, and the mysterious technology of Kubrick.

HAL is method and intuition; it is a screen that illuminates space and a light that highlights the character, balancing between neutral reality and fiction, creating theatrical sets for our daily lives.
