Salute Charging Desk Lamp

Salute

Crystal is a modular charging desk lamp designed for ambient lighting. The lamp combines a metal stand with several pieces of Spanish natural travertine. Each travertine unit works as an independent wireless charging light and can be used alone or combined with others. Magnetic connections allow free arrangement, and the units recharge when returned to the base. The lamp switches on when a glass is placed on the surface. A light tap adjusts brightness, and a long press changes the color temperature. Further lighting modes can be set through a mobile application.

Altera Interactive Lamp

Altera

The delicate, fluid and almost translucent character of marble evokes water. While exploring this relationship, waterfall walls emerged as inspiration. Water shimmering over textured stone suggested light filtering through marble elements. Reflecting the human desire to touch nature, this idea evolved into a modern, tactile lighting design that goes beyond illumination, offering a dynamic and personal experience. With rotatable marble wings, users can shape both light and form by hand. The design combines thin cut marble for light diffusion, a brass structure and frosted Led diffusers.

Scacco Matto Portable Lamp

Scacco Matto

Scacco Matto draws inspiration from the 1960s radical design movement and invites audiences to explore and interact with shapes and light.

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.

Wood Table Lamp

Wood

The Wood luminaire was designed in 2017 with the clear intention of being different from what was seen on the market then. It refers to and is inspired by the classic designs of the 60s. It is made entirely of solid wood and turned by hand, a material that transmits warmth and thanks to its nobility it has a distinguished quality and presentation. Design with simple and clean lines, where the cable that breaks with a paradigm stands out, not only because it comes out of the top of the product but also because it is an exclusive design cable with jute mesh and details of golden lurex threads.

Ozz Pendant Lamp

Ozz

This lamp design is inspired by a wizard's hat and is named after one of the most famous wizards, Oz. Its design is based on the idea of using only a circle as a design element, transformed through different wavy variations to define a form. Although the silhouette remains relatively consistent from different viewpoints, the shifting curves subtly influence how a person interacts with the lamp. Moving around it creates a sense of wave-like motion for the viewer.

Farol Ceiling Light

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.

Artemis Floor Lamp

Artemis

Artemis is a floor lamp made of burnt wood and metal. The lamp has a vertically articulated form that rises from a weighted base for stability. The charred wood finish is produced with the Shou Sugi Ban burning technique, which improves durability and reveals the grain and depth of the material. A trileaf-shaped shade diffuses the light evenly, and a simple on-off switch controls the lamp. The form is drawn from the finials that crown domes in Mughal architecture. The lamp measures 72 inches in height and 22 inches in diameter.

2D Lantern Urban Fixture

2D Lantern

The 2D urban lantern has only two dimensions, it has no depth, it only develops on a flat surface, as if it were a drawing written in the sky. Its shape is visible and invisible depending on how the designers places it in the space. An element that manifests its presence only when it lights up, integrating discreetly into the urban context. Urban lanterns contribute to giving cities an identity, they are signs that remain imprinted in the culture of collective memory, becoming part of the narration of urban life.

Emerge Wall Light

Emerge

Emerge embodies light as a symbol of human truth and freedom held within constraint. Enclosed inside a dense architectural volume, illumination is deliberately concealed, yet it persists and gradually forces its way outward through defined openings. The central vertical line marks the decisive breakthrough, where suppressed energy becomes visible. The design expresses the inevitability of presence, suggesting that even under absolute pressure, light, like truth and freedom, ultimately finds its path.

The Alien Lighting

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.
