The Osso chair captivates one's attention with its striking silhouette.

Misterio

Misterio is a lighting collection of pendant lamps and wall lamps inspired by the northern lights. The main elements are made of cast glass with a multicolor effect and are shaped like waves frozen in glass. The glass creates colored highlights that form organic patterns on nearby surfaces. A black metal base in the form of a ring holds an LED strip covered with a matte diffuser. The ring is directed inward, so the lighting is soft and the beauty of the glass is emphasized. The collection can be used for main lighting, task lighting or accent lighting.

The lamp measures 424 mm in height and 120 mm in width. Mounting is possible in a vertical or horizontal position. Three finishes are offered: dark nickel, brass and black.

Level

Level is a collection of pendant lamps designed for interior lighting. The collection includes three models with slightly different shapes. Each lamp is built on a metal frame that holds multi-level amber glass elements with a vertical ornament. The forms recall the silhouette of a city business center at sunset. Two LED light sources are used in every model. The lower source lights the functional areas of a room. The upper source lights the glass and creates reflections on its surface. The three models can be combined into larger compositions.
