Alexey Danilin Table Lamp Lighting Tuesday, 10 November 2026

Hope

Hope is a table lamp that combines traditional ceramic craft with modern LED lighting. The body is made of natural ceramic, shaped by established methods, and is joined with a metal frame and an acrylic diffuser. An integrated LED board gives a strong light output suitable for work areas. Brightness is adjusted by touching a metal sphere, so the lamp can also serve as a night light or a decorative object. Two interchangeable sphere finishes, chrome and brass, are included. The lamp measures 355 mm in height, 260 mm in width and 84 mm in depth.

Spirito Table Lamp

Alexey Danilin Table Lamp Lighting Sunday, 8 November 2026

Spirito

Spirito is a table lamp inspired by the glass ball used in spiritualistic rituals. The lamp has the stylized silhouette of a classic table lamp and is made of transparent blown glass with a gradient coating. The LED light source is placed in the base and directs the light upward, so the upper shade glows without visible wires or metal supports. The light is then reflected downward and forms a halo on the table surface. The glass elements are stacked on each other without fasteners, which removes visual noise. The lamp measures 420 mm in height and 260 mm in diameter.

Level Pendant Lamp

Alexey Danilin Pendant Lamp Lighting Saturday, 7 November 2026

Level

Level is a collection of pendant lamps designed for interior lighting. The collection includes three models with slightly different shapes. Each lamp is built on a metal frame that holds multi-level amber glass elements with a vertical ornament. The forms recall the silhouette of a city business center at sunset. Two LED light sources are used in every model. The lower source lights the functional areas of a room. The upper source lights the glass and creates reflections on its surface. The three models can be combined into larger compositions.

Misterio Luminaires

Alexey Danilin Luminaires Lighting Friday, 6 November 2026

Misterio

Misterio is a lighting collection of pendant lamps and wall lamps inspired by the northern lights. The main elements are made of cast glass with a multicolor effect and are shaped like waves frozen in glass. The glass creates colored highlights that form organic patterns on nearby surfaces. A black metal base in the form of a ring holds an LED strip covered with a matte diffuser. The ring is directed inward, so the lighting is soft and the beauty of the glass is emphasized. The collection can be used for main lighting, task lighting or accent lighting.

Xu Wei Art Museum

LIGHTING DESIGN INSTITUTEof UAD Art Museum Lighting Thursday, 5 November 2026

Xu Wei

Xu Wei is a lighting design for an art museum in Shaoxing, a Chinese city with a history of 2,500 years. The museum stands within an old residential quarter, so the lighting is kept low-key and calm. L-shaped light troughs and linear wall washing fixtures are hidden on the facades to brighten the walls evenly. Faint light marks the bronze statue of the artist, and tree shadows fall along the corridor. The square is lit at a moderate level, and hidden projection allows different scenes for public cultural events.
