Adamas

Adamas is a floor lamp designed for home use. The lamp combines a slender metal structure with a paper lampshade. The lampshade is folded by hand from FSC parchment paper using the origami technique, and it can be removed and refitted by the user. The structure is made of square section iron tubes fixed to a circular iron base with a waxed surface. A brass cone acts as the lamp holder and joins the two parts. The parchment paper makes the light soft and warm, and the light is directed towards the ceiling. An LED E27 bulb is used.

Ithaki Restaurant

Ithaki Restaurant is a lighting design created for a fine dining restaurant on a coastal area of the city. The scheme covers both interior and exterior areas, and all of these areas face the sea. A glare-free approach was chosen to protect the night views of the sea and the night sky. Warm light defines the dining tables and creates an immersive and intimate atmosphere. The lighting supports the refined tones of the interior design and enhances the culinary experience. The aim was to give guests a sense of comfort during shared meals.

Magfinity

Magfinity is a magnetic track lighting system for commercial and residential spaces. The system combines an angular linear track with a range of LED luminaires that connect magnetically. Fixtures snap into place without tools and can be detached, repositioned, or exchanged quickly. Each fixture gives a glare-free beam, and some can be rotated to direct light toward wall art, countertops, or hallways. The track can be recessed into the ceiling, suspended, or surface mounted. The aim was to simplify the installation of high-end lighting.

Lu

Many times people need to be able to store objects, perhaps to make room, perhaps to clean the house and sometimes even to take them with them, but especially for furniture of a certain level it is always very difficult. Thus was born "Lu", a dining chair suitable for different types of target. The design is innovative and elegant at the same time and the name "Lu" derives from "luggage" because of its ease of being resealable and transportable wherever you want (during a move, in a holiday home, etc).
