The idea behind the Rusty fittings was to connect the natural aspect of a controlled surface rusting with modern energy saving technology in a very strong light fixture. All the fittings in the Rusty range are made of Cor-ten cast steel and are extremely watherproof. In the outdoor application the special steel alloy forms a barrier layer of iron oxide (rust), which protects the material core from infiltration of dampness and thereby protects it from further rusting and hence the flaking of the rust. Individual deviations in form and surface are intended and each fitting is a unique specimen.
Rusting is a natural process; type and colour of the outer oxidation layer can, depending on location and influence of weather, develop differently and thereby make the senual attractiveness of this fitting. This rusting process gives the Rusty fittings liveliness and individuality. While the appearance of the Round Rusty fittings recreates harbour bollards, the Rusty Square builds a visual relationship to classical Jananese garden architecture. This relationship is not by coincidence. In Japan the cultivation of the aesthetic of the perishability has a long tradition.
The newest members of the Rusty family are the Rusty Slot and Rusty Cone.
