Cubes

Cubes table lamp has a very clear aesthetic inspired by the architecture of the early 20th century, the Bauhaus and German modernism. Expresses a concept combining light with graphic design, a sculpture of geometric shapes. The lamp consists of three geometric forms stacked in a balanced composition and distinguished by the material, wood. The asymmetric positioning of the forms creates a different profile on each side, a constant rediscovery of the piece. The light fixture is a led circuit with a diffuser, softly distributing the light downwards on two of the volumes.

Magpie

Magpie is a table lamp shaped after a bird with folding wings. The lamp changes between three positions through a single contact button at the base of its cylindrical body. In the first position the wings stay folded and the light is small and soft, which suits use beside a bed. In the second position the head rises and the light becomes brighter, which suits office and study use. In the third position the wings open fully and a wider area is lit. The body is made of metal with a gold finish, and the shade is made of a translucent material.

Nuvem

Nuvem is a modular decorative lighting system designed for interior spaces. Nuvem consists of hexagonal modules that are joined together to form many different compositions. Each module measures 12 by 12 by 4 centimetres and is made of Opalflex, a recyclable material composed of technopolymer and glass crystals. The thin sheets are cold cut and then folded by hand. Four suspension cables per hexagon allow horizontal, oblique and vertical arrangements. The light source can be placed above the modules, below them or threaded through the hexagonal openings.

Mobius

The Mobius ring gives inspiration for the design of Mobius lamps. One lamp strip may have two shadow surfaces (i.e. two-sided surface), the obverse and the reverse, which will satisfy all-round lighting demand. Its special and simple shape contains mysterious mathematical beauty. Therefore, more rhythmic beauty will be brought to home life.

Lory Duck

The Lory Duck is designed as a suspension system assembled from modules made of brass and epoxy glass, each resembling a duck sliding effortlessly through cool waters. The modules also offer configurability; with a touch, each can be adjusted to face any direction and hang at any height. The basic shape of the lamp was born relatively quickly. However, it needed months of research and development with countless prototypes to create its perfect balance and the best look from all possible angles.

Quadrant Arcade

The Grade II listed arcade has been transformed into an inviting street presence through arranging the right light at the right place. General, ambient illumination is used holistically and its effects staged hierarchically to achieve variations in light patterning that create interest and promote increased use of the space. Strategic incorporation for design and placement of the dynamic feature pendent was managed together with the artist so that visual effects appear more subtle than overwhelming. With daylight fading, the elegant structure is accentuated by the rhythm of electric lighting.
