THE GOODS: Lighting

Experimentations with lightFOLLOW THE » sculptural form and technical advancements represent a new era of lighting design and innovation.

Magellan | KUZCO LIGHTING This ceiling suspended luminaire has a flexible 180° vertical pivot and 350° rotation around the vertical axis, controlled by a friction hinge ensuring the selected angle is maintained without slipping. Lambertian-type diffusion is delivered using an optical grade translucid acrylic lens and internal reflector, with outputs of 900 or 1,200 lumens. The organic shape is finished with architectural grade matte fine textured paint in one of five standard colours, and comes with an adjustable single cable suspension, but also has canopy mounting or track system options.

This statement piece was a multiple award-winner this year, including a Red Dot Best of the Best in lighting design, and Most Innovative Product of the Year at LightFair, and deservedly so. A dramatic focal point for any large interior, multiple spun-aluminum shades surround a hollow core in a static orbit. Indirect light is cast onto the shade interiors, creating an even, ambient glow, and each shade is an individual light

Hollowcore | LUMINIS This reinterpretation of the traditional high bay pendant shape comes with a unique circular LED light engine and open centre concept and is available with either a high-efficiency diffuser or aluminum reflector. The pendant model features either an elegantly sculpted tripod interior stem or clean cable mounting. An independently controlled uplight component is available to provide additional upward illumination or to highlight ceilings. www.hollowcore.luminis.com

FOSCARINI

Ludovica and Roberto Palomba’s interconnecting design brings to mind a chic telescope: the upper metal ferrule acts as a traditional illuminator projecting intense upwards lighting, while the two translucent compartments at the bottom bring diffused ambiance lighting downwards to seating level.

Halo | VALERIE OBJECTS Designed by Brussels-based Maarten De Ceulaer, this collection is composed of a half circular rounded element of glass and a rounded metal base. Light travels through the glass invisibly and only illuminates the sandblasted rounded edge, creating a glowing halo effect that seems to float in space. Available in a range of typologies, including a table, wall, floor and suspension lamp; all in black aluminium and brass.

Coordinates | FLOS This dramatic lighting collection, originally designed by Michael Anastassiades for New York’s Four Seasons restaurant, features a series of interlocking linear LED luminaires inspired by the mathematical precision of the Cartesian grid. Illuminated and expanded to three dimensions, the luminaire comes in an array of set configurations, including four suspended chandeliers of different sizes and three ceiling-mounted luminaires, and also features a repeatable module that can be suspended or ceiling-mounted, ideally suited to impressive, large-scale installations. www.flos.com

Y | KARMAN This wall mounted fixture designed by Lennart, Edmondo Testaguzza and Matteo Ugolini for the always-irreverent Italian lighting brand Karman is intended for “classy contract environments,” although they admit it is versatile enough to go anywhere someone may want three black aluminum lines quietly watching over them. www.flos.com

Peggy | MODO LUCE Studio BMB Progetti clearly have a love for basic archetypal shapes — in this case the cone, sphere and disc — and their strict adherence to the rigorous lines and dimensions of their combination are admirable. Available in metal pendant or ceiling versions enhanced by a wide range of colours, there is also a fabric option that turns the disc into a functional element that helps reduce sound reverberation. www.modoluce.com

Jefferson | LODES This Venice-based lighting brand was originally known as Studio Italia Design, and to coincide with the rebrand the company has introduced three new lines, the most notable being the Jefferson suspension lamp. Designed by Luca Nichetto in celebration of the company’s 70th anniversary, this reinterpretation of a vortex pattern typical of Bohemian crystal is created through a special pressing technique that imprints details on the crystal surface. Standard sizes include the mini, which consists of two elliptical crystal diffusers joined on the black chrome frame so that when lit, the undulating pattern on the crystal bodies appear to spin. www.lodes.com Keglen | LOUIS

POULSEN

Born out of a successful collaborating with BIG Ideas (Bjarke Ingels Group’s product division) on the Tirpitz Pendant, created for the Tirpitz Museum in Blåvand, Denmark, this new lamp series was launched with four pendants as the key pieces. Exceedingly simple in design, the diffusion of light is created using a curved, organically shaped glass insert which is built into and adapted to each version of the shade, available in black or white.

GANTRI

Cologne-based industrial designer Peter Otto Vosding drew inspiration for this table lamp from the “unique silhouette cast by a full moon rising over the German Alps” (hence the name: German for “full moon”) and the result is clean and simple: a spherical, exposed diffuser casts a warm glow while supported by a crescent base available in three colours.
