Luceplan - Metropoli D20/27 Indoor Light

Metropoli is described as “revolutionary within”. It's simple, almost elementary, elegant and positively impeccable. Each ceiling/wall lamp has a set of interchangeable optics so that the lights can be used for better visual comfort and lower energy consumption. This technical step forward can also be seen in the ease of assembly and maintenance of this lamp. From interiors to porticoes or gardens, Metropoli can create a pleasant continuity between the interior and exterior of an architecture.
