MB&F x Frank Buchwald ML15 Helios

When MB&F founder Max Büsser first visited the workshop of Berlin artist Frank Buchwald, he bought ten retro-futuristic Machine Lights on the spot for a gallery that didn't yet exist. Fifteen years later, that partnership produced the ML15 Helios, a handcrafted mechanical sculpture built to mark the M.A.D.Gallery's 15th anniversary and limited to 15 pieces. Conceived as a mechanical sun, a 120mm spherical globe sits at the center, encircled by a dimmable LED corona that evokes a solar halo. Two blue diffuser rings frame the sphere, shifting its visual register between a human eye, a celestial body, and a precision instrument. The head rotates 90 degrees for directional light. Built from stainless steel and brass, with all electrical wiring routed through flexible stainless steel tubes, each piece comprises 120 individual components and takes several weeks to complete by hand in Buchwald's Berlin studio.
