If you want to see “Helios” in person, we welcome you to visit us at the Mesmerizing expo on Dutch Design Week, from 21st to 29th of October, at Eindhoven Station.

So young, and yet so wise, He drove his chariot across the skies,
Every day bringing up the sun.
He was loved by everyone

Helios

In ancient times, Helios was revered as the god of the sun, entrusted with the responsibility of
guiding the sun on its daily journey across the sky. As he embarked upon an eternal voyage in his majestic golden chariot, coursing through the heavens, his chariot painted the sky with a mesmerizing palette of colorful and delicate hues. This breathtaking spectacle had the remarkable power to transform the heavenly sky, casting a radiant and enchanting glow upon the world below.

Drawing from ancient concepts, “Helios” pays homage to light’s circular dance. This design invites interaction, allowing you to play with light’s intensity by moving the sphere. Just as Helios shaped the sun’s path, you become the one who controls the brightness, creating a captivating dance of light.
