Struk is a lighting fixture made of a steel round structure covered by pieces of white noninflammable polyethylene mesh and plastic strips in white colour too. This collection has a suspension, ceiling and wall.The designer is Ricard Estruch. Influenced by arte povera, artistic movement born in Italy at the end of the sixties, means literaly “poor”. This movement used to introduce not very common materials –from industry, organic origin or common use- to make tridimensional pieces. He works in Barcelona.Each model is hand made and the making process is the following: circular or semicircular structure of metallic rods welded together. A first layer of plasticized mesh diffuses the light. With wire ties, a second layer of mesh pieces is attached. These pieces are of a more rigid and wider weaved polyethylene mesh that have been previously molded using hot air to reduce their rigidity and allow them to be molded into a circular form. Lastly, plastic strips are randomly threaded through openings in the mesh pieces.
