Apex

The Apex cordless table lamp has been designed to provide a glare-free downlight and soft glow on the internal metallic cone, resulting in a warm ambient task light for hospitality or residential use. Created to be used as the central source of illumination on any table, the battery-powered and compact design facilitate flexibility in table settings and ease of cleaning. Sustainability is a big part of NEOZ's design ethos, as such the CNC metal body is assembled with only mechanical fixings, thus promoting self-maintenance, upgrade, and recycling by the end-user.

Euphoria Retreat

The Spa at the Euphoria Retreat, is located in Mystra. It is a four-story building, of 3.000 m2, that is carved into the base of a mountain. The lighting for each space was considered as a unique piece, contributing to the crescendo of the ultimate relaxation experience. As daylight would vary substantially from one space to another, custom luminaires were designed to imitate daylight conditions, thus harmonizing the transitions through spaces and enhancing the immersive architecture.
