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.

Double Moon

Double Moon is a wall lamp inspired by a rare astronomical event in which the Earth gains a second, temporary satellite. The lamp has a metal base holding two LED boards, one above and one below, covered by matte diffusers that produce soft light. Light is reflected by glass spheres painted with a mirrored tinted gradient, which creates patterns on the wall and smooth highlights on the glass. The lamp measures 424 mm in height and 120 mm in width. Mounting is possible in a vertical or horizontal position. Three finishes are offered: dark nickel, brass and black.

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.

Frozen

Frozen is a pendant lamp inspired by northern landscapes and forests. The glass shade is based on a fragment of a tree, which was scanned in three dimensions and refined in software so that the wood pattern is more pronounced and the reflections of light are richer. The shade is made of cast glass in transparent, tinted green-blue and matte white finishes, which recall winter scenery. The hole for the replaceable G4 bulb is matte, so the bulb stays hidden and the light is soft. Slim metal fasteners in a brass finish hold the cylindrical glass.

Crochet

Crochet is a floor lamp inspired by knitting, one of the oldest decorative crafts. The metal structure resembles the interweaving of spokes during knitting, and the flexible light emitting diode cord recalls woolen threads. The matte cord forms a smooth oval, and its weight and bending behavior were studied so that the lamp looks balanced from every angle. The metal tubes are collapsible, and a cast metal element joins them at the center. Placed at the top of the lamp, the cord gives soft light for reading, work and rest.
