Halfway between art and design, Embrasse Moi is the majestic light sculpture whose name recalls the play on words between the English brass and the lamp's curved, enveloping shape. The suspension lamp has been handcrafted: a large sculpture in burnished brass that recalls the DNA strand, the weave of which unfolds like a fil rouge throughout the space, giving every project an artistic accent that makes it unique.
Get Space is an architectural lighting design for a commercial complex in Huangpu Science City, Guangzhou, China. The scheme uses LED luminaires and narrow-beam spotlights with dynamic controls, so each zone receives illumination suited to its function. Embedded spotlights, linear accents and vertical lighting follow the stacked box facade. A colour temperature of 4000K is used for the exteriors and 3000K for pedestrian areas. Motion sensors and dimming reduce energy use by up to 30 percent during off-peak hours. Anti-glare shields limit light spill toward nearby homes.
Luna is a suspended kitchen lamp designed to light the cooking area. The lamp body measures 120 by 4.5 by 1.6 cm and is made of black anodized steel and glass. Gesture control allows the light to be dimmed, and ambient lighting is also available. Luna communicates with NikolaTesla and Lhov appliances and is compatible with voice assistants and Elica applications. The Balance System uses adaptable cables, so the height can be adjusted from 50 to 200 cm. The linear and minimal form is intended to suit different kitchen spaces.
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.
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.
Be Water is a linear, modular and recessed kinetic LED lamp for decorative wall washing. The lamp is installed inside a light cove or behind furniture, so only the moving light is visible. Light is refracted through a handmade glass cylinder that rotates on its axis and projects fluctuating flares onto the wall. The effect recalls sunlight reflected on the surface of moving water. One motor can drive from one to six modules. Optional filters create the colour variants Be Fire, Be Air and Be Earth. Aluminium, borosilicate glass and plexiglass are used, and each piece is made in Italy.
