Reflex

Natural phenomena, objects, and substances are clear, unified, and unambiguous as they are. The perception is what gives them infinite variability, makes them unique, and allows them to reveal new interpretations. It is like a ray of light that shows exceptional facets and depth that were not visible before. In introspective psychology, the process of comprehending the feelings and emotions associated with the reactions to the surrounding reality is called reflection. This term inspired designers to create this collection and gave it the name Reflex.

Hexa

The goal of Hexa design was to achieve a lamp that provides the lighting of the architectural space in two broad and localized modes, has the ability to expand in the space, and improves the quality of the space in terms of aesthetics. A Hexa is one-third of a full hexagon. This division increases the ability of Hexa in the variety of compositions and expansion. The form of the design follows a geometric pattern that is inspired by "Girih" and "miniature"; in traditional Iranian architectural decorations.

The Alien

A story that originated from the sense of women - as delicately and carefully, ossified and just as carefully nurtured its roots by maintaining and creating empty spaces between them. It is as if the bones gave life and growth to its delicate, firm, and strong existence and then found itself immersed in a light, or other words, a light that blossomed from within. Sepideh got its name from the alien, so when a person feels like a foreigner or alien, her inner roots are like a new life. The roots inside have a longing to be freed and rely on the safe point of the boundary.

Scacco Matto

Scacco Matto draws inspiration from the 1960s radical design movement and invites audiences to explore and interact with shapes and light. Featuring three magnetically connected elements, the portable lamp can be transformed in five different light sculptures, to inspire a new interest in the role light plays in transforming the look, feel, and atmosphere of homes. It can be used as a vase, sculpture or to focus light on a particular area. The five possible combinations are reminiscent of chess, hence the name Scacco Matto, the Italian translation of checkmate.

Lead

Recycled corks from wine bottles consumed in Tokyo are collected and re-molded into the body. The light emitted on the cork's soft surface emits a warm glow on the spot. Compact size that can be carried even in times of a disaster. The gentle light leads you to a hope in any place. Rechargeable for up to 13 hours of lighting. This lighting was designed to contribute to a sustainable society by recycling corkscrews, which are usually thrown away, as a valuable resource. As of now, some of the corks collected from about 750 restaurants in Tokyo are being used.

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 mixture of steel and cork, of contemporary lines and heritage, Farol relies on its angular geometry and central fixing to create the most impact with no visible components apart from the main conical shaping. A lamp made to be combined with others, Farol unleashes great visual impact recurring only to its minimal, angled geometry.
