The idea
A circle with nothing to hold it but light.
The Circle is the one form in the collection Maria Velichkova does not draw by hand: it is cut true, because a circle that is nearly true reads as a mistake. What is hers is the halo, tuned to 3000K and set back from the edge so the light spreads on the plaster rather than glaring at the glass.

How Circle changes a room.
Primary reflection behavior
Creates a focal point
A lit circle gives a wall a centre even in low or indirect light, without the mass a cast surround brings.
- Recommended viewing distance
- 1 to 3 m
- Reflected field
- Round and close, head and shoulders above the console
- Natural light
- Ambient or angled light, with its own halo supplying the rest
- Wall conditions
- A quiet wall with at least 95 cm clear width above a console
- Visual weight
- Light
- Rooms
- Dining room, Entryway, Living room
Frameless glass carries no mass, so the presence is the halo's, and it grows as the room darkens.
Practical details
Made to arrive with certainty.

- Materials
- 4 mm clear mirror glass, integrated 3000K LED halo, rear mounting batten
- Finish
- Frameless, with a fine polished edge
- Orientation
- Circular, with no fixed orientation
- Origin

Installation
Needs a wall of at least 95 by 95 cm.
Fix the rear batten into solid blocking and have a qualified electrician connect the driver to a switched supply. Centre the circle on the console below it rather than on the wall.
Care
Dust with a soft dry cloth and clean the glass as any mirror glass. Keep moisture away from the rear edge, where the LED halo and its driver sit.

Where the room asks for a larger circle with a sculpted frame, Orbit adds relief and shadow around the reflection.
