Objects Come Alive

The luminaires are designed with a research focus on Biophilic design and kinesthetic empathy. The movement of the luminaires mimics the growth habits, movement patterns and rhythms of the plants, making the luminaires more relatable. Viewing the direction of the product relieves anxiety, tension, fatigue and other emotions. The luminaires change according to the environment (temperature, wind), making them more accessible for everyday use while creating a sense of atmosphere.

Wood

The Wood luminaire was designed in 2017 with the clear intention of being different from what was seen on the market then. It refers to and is inspired by the classic designs of the 60s. It is made entirely of solid wood and turned by hand, a material that transmits warmth and thanks to its nobility it has a distinguished quality and presentation. Design with simple and clean lines, where the cable that breaks with a paradigm stands out, not only because it comes out of the top of the product but also because it is an exclusive design cable with jute mesh and details of golden lurex threads.

Farol

Created by Katia Martins and Tiago Russo, Farol is the materialization of years of studies and tests in order to achieve a great lighting solution, environment-friendly, and that could create the most visual impact with minimalist lines and bold, neutral colours.

A lamp made to be combined with others, Farol unleashes great visual impact recurring only to its minimal, angled geometry.

2D Lantern

The 2D urban lantern has only two dimensions, it has no depth, it only develops on a flat surface, as if it were a drawing written in the sky. Its shape is visible and invisible depending on how the designers places it in the space. An element that manifests its presence only when it lights up, integrating discreetly into the urban context. Urban lanterns contribute to giving cities an identity, they are signs that remain imprinted in the culture of collective memory, becoming part of the narration of urban life.

Enigma

The very name of the collection tells us a lot about the mysteries this luminaire hides. The luminaire's concise design is not only dictated by contemporary trends, but above all by its design features. The shape of the luminaire hides almost endless adjustment possibilities, so that the lighting can be set individually for the user. The luminaire consists of a cylindrical metal base, hosting the LED light source. It features semi-circular elements. At the top there is a unique adjustment system, using which the orientation of the light beam can be changed in the vertical direction.
