Misterio Luminaires

Alexey Danilin Luminaires Lighting Tuesday, 15 September 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.

Sound Wave Pendant Lamp

Alexey Danilin Pendant Lamp Lighting Monday, 14 September 2026

Sound Wave

Sound Wave is a pendant lamp inspired by the visual form of a musical composition. The melody of Prelude No. 3, Wind on the Plain by Claude Debussy was converted into an image of a sound wave with a special program, and the resulting curve became the basis for the silhouette of the lamp. The shape was then adjusted for better light properties and for mass production. Matte white glass is placed over a metal structure, and a decorative glass element in blue, gold, black or gray is set on top, so visible fasteners are avoided. The wire height can be changed from 100 to 3000 mm.

Capsule Collection

Capsule Collection Volume 01 is a set of three luminaires made of glass, acrylic and metal. The io Pendant is shaped by gravity-fed glass extrusion, which turns a circular drawing into a ribbed cylindrical form. Components are hidden so the glass reflects and refracts the light. Halftone is a wall light with a pattern etched on translucent acrylic, which forms a ring of light while the wall stays visible. Orb is a wall light with an illuminated sphere and an adjustable magnifying mirror that moves around it, suited to use beside a bathroom mirror.

Nest Lamp Lighting

Nest Lamp

The entire light structure is intricately crafted into an organic form using advanced metalworking techniques. Two nest-like metal sheets intertwine, creating a dynamic pattern that shifts from different angles when suspended. At the center, a doughnut-shaped light hangs, casting illumination through the circular aperture between the metal layers. Soft glimmers filter through the interwoven metal threads, adding depth and warmth to the ambient lighting.

Obj01 Lamp

MANU BAÑÓ Lamp Lighting Friday, 11 September 2026

Obj01

Obj01 is a table lamp made from a single sheet of raw metal, which can be steel, stainless steel or brass. The sheet is cut by laser and assembled by hand with a rubber hammer, without welded joints. Simple geometric shapes form the lamp: a rectangle, a circle and a cylinder that holds the LED light source. The circle, once cut out, becomes the shade. The metal surface is polished by hand and sealed with wax. An integrated touch dimmer uses the conductive body, so touching any side switches the light and sets the brightness. The lamp measures 38 x 22 x 7 cm.
