Alpha Centauri
The Alpha Centauri luminous globe takes its name from the planetary system closest to Earth. Designed by Studio MTX under the guidance of its artistic director Mathieu Bassée, its eye-catching look hides a real tour de force as it is a totally empty volume. Its striking designs sits somewhere between George Lucas’ Black star and Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic domes. Not only does it reflect light when illuminated by spotlights, but its intricate see-through surface is a strong decorative artefact, as hypnotic as it elegant.

Its striking design is a fusion of George Lucas’ Death Star and Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic domes. Not only does it reflect light when illuminated by spotlights, but its intricate, see-through surface serves as a captivating decorative artifact—both hypnotic and elegant.
Composed of 350 laser-cut PMMA mirror triangles, entirely hand-assembled in France, it incorporates 170 3D-printed connectors and 1,050 solid brass screws.
