Ikebana

Ikebana is a floor lamp that also serves as a vase. The name refers to the Japanese art of flower arrangement. The lamp stands 1250 mm high and has a ring of 280 mm in diameter. A removable glass vase with a frosted base holds fresh flowers and conceals the water. A metal frame and a marble base provide stability. Two dimmable light sources with matte diffusers are fitted: the upper ring lights the floral arrangement, while the lower light serves reading and work surfaces. The combined form saves space in small interiors.

Aloura

Aloura is a pendant light designed for hotel interiors, loft spaces and other large rooms. The sculptural form gives the lamp a strong presence, and the appearance changes as the light is viewed from different angles. The structure combines a 3D-printed core with anodised aluminium tubes, which keeps the composition light in weight. A replaceable E27 bulb sits inside a frosted glass inner shade. Three diameters and three colours are offered, and the parametric design allows other sizes. The lamp is shipped partly assembled in one compact box.

Hoor

The design connects traditional references with contemporary production methods, merging cultural heritage with present-day use.

Bangkok

Bangkok is a pendant lamp inspired by the tiered architecture of ancient Thai temples. The silhouette was based on the temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok, restated in concise forms. Each lamp is formed of two or three glass elements set in tiers, recalling the light windows that fill Thai temples with light. Glossy tinted glass creates bright highlights on all sides, while a transparent version allows mixed compositions. LED boards with matte diffusers at the top and bottom produce soft diffused light.

Flatiron

Achille Castiglioni was convinced that the designer should delete, delete, delete and at the end find the core aspect of the design. Bruno Munari was used to say that to complicate things is easy, while to simplify things is very hard. Flatiron comes from the crasis of this two references.
