Particularly flat and filigree letters present new
challenges for fastening techniques, as they are
not compatible with conventional solid fastening
solutions. The alternative is to use a 5-mm-thick
aluminium base plate cut to the shape of the
letters with a laser, creating filigree transitions
from one letter to the next. The ceiling and wall
fastenings are also cut out of the base plate. The
wiring is done invisibly using ribbon cables.
