Delta Light and Arik Levy

By  | 

A New Perspective

on Light

Artist, technician, photographer, designer, video artist,

Arik Levy’s skills are multi-disciplinary and his work

can be seen in prestigious galleries and museums

worldwide. Best known publicly for his sculptures –

such as his signature Rock pieces –, his installations,

limited editions and design, Levy nevertheless feels

“The world is about people, not objects.”

Specialists in architectural lighting, West Flanders-based

Delta Light entrusted designer Arik Levy with the creation

of its new “Butler” collection, a surprising range of exterior

and interior luminaires.

Until now, Delta Light’s products have primarily been designed

by its 30-strong internal R&D team, led by the

company’s founder, Paul Ameloot. This year, however, the

company has broken new ground by joining forces with

the designer Arik Levy, who has dreamt up a new exterior

collection, “Butler”, to complement the brand’s range.

The culmination of two years’ work, Butler is Delta Light’s

flagship for the exploration of previously unchartered territory.

Different from the typical Delta Light design code, Arik

came up with a reinterpretation of the lampshade archetype.

Suited for both residential and commercial projects, designed

to upgrade any patio, garden or walkway. Courtesy of its

simple yet highly evocative shape, the Butler brings an

interior touch into your outside space. It’s simultaneously

reassuring, elegant and feminine, with its slender base and

a pleated shade reminiscent of traditional silk or paper

models. But have no fear: this apparent fragility conceals

real strength and an impressive lighting capacity.

“I’m not fragile: I’m delicate, like you”

At first sight, the Butler appears to be made of aluminum

like most outdoor lights, but when you touch the shade,

it’s immediately clear that such finesse and detail could

not be created using metal. The Butler’s distinct personality

comes from the material chosen: a polymer with a highly

resistant coating.

The Butler comes in different floor mounted and wall

mounted versions. The Butler W is both for interior and

exterior application, single or double, down and down-up.

The outdoor bollards come in several heights and two pole

sizes, again with a down or down-up light effect, perfect to

high-light an architectural or natural feature. All versions

come in black or aluminum grey finish.
