Euphoria Retreat

Euphoria Retreat is a lighting design created for a spa in Mystras, Greece. The spa is a four-storey building of 3,000 square metres, carved into the base of a mountain. The lighting of each space was treated as a unique element, supporting a gradual and calming sensory journey. Daylight varies greatly from one space to another, so custom luminaires were designed to imitate daylight conditions. The custom luminaires harmonise the transitions between spaces and enhance the immersive architecture.

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.

Environmentally friendly, the suspension is made from recyclable aluminum. When switched on, soft, gradated lines of light appear on the side surfaces. Off it offers a beautiful play of light and shadow throughout the day. The Stanley lamps can be used alone or in groups.

Lighting fixtures with suitable light distribution and cut-off angles are integrated into the wooden structure to create a glare-free ambiance that sustains the tranquility of the lake.
