"The object stands on three legs, and the piece is built from stainless steel with brass elements. Every component is made and finished by hand in the artist's workshop, where he also thoroughly places and runs the electrical wiring through flexible stainless steel tubes. At the center of the recent Frank Buchwald machine light sits a spherical globe bulb."
"Around this sphere, a dimmable LED ring forms a circular halo, creating a clear outline around the globe. It is here that the light source becomes the focus of the sculptural design. In front of the central sphere, two blue diffuser rings are fixed within a bracket structure, and these rings partly frame the globe and change how the light spreads."
"The head section of the ML15 Helios can move 45 degrees to the left and 45 degrees to the right, a movement that allows the user to direct the light and adjust the orientation of the object. The base of Frank Buchwald's Machine Light with the brand MB&F and its gallery keeps the piece stable while the upper section rotates."
Frank Buchwald collaborates with MB&F to design the ML15 Helios, a mechanical art device inspired by the sun. The sculptural light features a spherical globe bulb surrounded by a dimmable LED ring that creates a halo effect. Constructed from stainless steel and brass, every component is handcrafted in Buchwald's workshop with electrical wiring threaded through flexible stainless steel tubes. Two blue diffuser rings frame the globe and filter the light spread, creating a telescope-like appearance. The head section rotates 45 degrees left and right, allowing directional light adjustment. The three-legged base keeps the piece stable while the upper section moves, with all screws, joints, and connections remaining visible as design elements.
