When you reduce a Lotus Emira 2 to one line, every proportion has to earn its place. That is what makes form piece a different kind of collectible, and why the Lotus Emira 2 rewards a second look.
The Lotus Emira 2 pieces in our range are cut from sheet metal and delivered supplied to hang, with the price stepping from $69.95 at 50 cm to $209.95 at 140 cm, a range that lets the same outline work above a desk or across a full wall.
Lighting the outline
Light is the whole game with a thin profile. Spread it wide and soft in a studio; a tight beam turns one edge to black and flattens the rest of the line.
Where it sits on the wall
Hang it where the light first catches it, usually the wall you face while pulling in. Seen at a slight angle, the Lotus Emira 2 reads as a car rather than a flat shape.
If the space allows two pieces, the Lotus Emira 2 and the Lotus 2 Eleven 2009 make a natural pair because their outlines differ in length rather than in character.
Pieces that suit a studio wall
Size for the space
A bigger form suits a bigger room. At 120 cm or 140 cm the Lotus Emira 2 takes the back wall without competing with the bench or the cabinets.
- 120-140 cm for a dedicated feature wall behind or above the car.
- 80-100 cm if the wall is shared with cabinets or a window.
- Keep a consistent bottom edge if you hang more than one piece.
Why this outline holds up
As a Lotus shape, the Lotus Emira 2 carries a brand outline you recognise before you read a badge, which is why the form works as piece.
Flat art wants soft, soft glow. A Lotus Emira 2 piece reads best under a wash from above, not a single downlight that hardens one edge.
piece this shallow has nowhere to hide. Give it an even wash in the workroom and the outline stays crisp from every angle you approach it.
Size up for a studio. The Lotus Emira 2 at 120-140 cm reads as intentional against shelving and kit, where a small piece would get lost.
Put the Lotus Emira 2 where it meets the eye on the way in, not head-on from a metre away. The angle is what makes the outline read as a car.
A metal profile is flat, so it lives or dies by the light across it. In a studio or workroom, aim for even, shadow-free light rather than a single spotlight that throws one hard edge.
Garages reward the larger sizes. A 120 cm or 140 cm Lotus Emira 2 outline fills the wall the way a poster never can, and with no colour to clash it sits comfortably next to tools and shelving.
Lighting decides the mood. An even wash from above flatters the edge; a single hard spotlight only hardens one corner.
piece works best when it earns its place rather than filling a gap. A single well-chosen outline does more than a row of hesitant decoration.
Maintenance is close to nothing. A quick dust is enough; there are no frames to chip and no glass to clean.
