Halfway between art and design, Embrasse Moi is the majestic light sculpture whose name recalls the play on words between the English brass and the lamp's curved, enveloping shape. The suspension lamp has been handcrafted: a large sculpture in burnished brass that recalls the DNA strand, the weave of which unfolds like a fil rouge throughout the space, giving every project an artistic accent that makes it unique.
Spirito is a table lamp inspired by the glass ball used in spiritualistic rituals. The lamp has the stylized silhouette of a classic table lamp and is made of transparent blown glass with a gradient coating. The LED light source is placed in the base and directs the light upward, so the upper shade glows without visible wires or metal supports. The light is then reflected downward and forms a halo on the table surface. The glass elements are stacked on each other without fasteners, which removes visual noise. The lamp measures 420 mm in height and 260 mm in diameter.

The Grampo Lamp makes use of brazilian wood fibers' natural flexibility, enabling it to bend, clip, or detach the light spot, converting it into a battery-powered flashlight that recharges while clipped in the stand. This design showcases the material's inherent characteristics and a commitment to sustainable sourcing. This project combines traditional woodworking with advanced manufacturing, including 3D printing. Grampo Lamp is inspired by the rich tradition of Brazilian wood design, yet it integrates functionalities that are only available in contemporary times.
Bangkok is a pendant lamp inspired by the tiered architecture of ancient Thai temples. The silhouette was based on the temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok, restated in concise forms. Each lamp is formed of two or three glass elements set in tiers, recalling the light windows that fill Thai temples with light. Glossy tinted glass creates bright highlights on all sides, while a transparent version allows mixed compositions. LED boards with matte diffusers at the top and bottom produce soft diffused light.
Aloura is a pendant light designed for hotel interiors, loft spaces and other large rooms. The sculptural form gives the lamp a strong presence, and the appearance changes as the light is viewed from different angles. The structure combines a 3D-printed core with anodised aluminium tubes, which keeps the composition light in weight. A replaceable E27 bulb sits inside a frosted glass inner shade. Three diameters and three colours are offered, and the parametric design allows other sizes. The lamp is shipped partly assembled in one compact box.
Hoor Light is a reinterpretation of the Iranian Hooraneh, an architectural element designed to filter daylight through narrow openings. The lamp is formed by two metal plates held together with concealed magnets, enclosing a diffuser that distributes the light evenly.

The design connects traditional references with contemporary production methods, merging cultural heritage with present-day use.
Ikebana is a floor lamp that also serves as a vase. The name refers to the Japanese art of flower arrangement. The lamp stands 1250 mm high and has a ring of 280 mm in diameter. A removable glass vase with a frosted base holds fresh flowers and conceals the water. A metal frame and a marble base provide stability. Two dimmable light sources with matte diffusers are fitted: the upper ring lights the floral arrangement, while the lower light serves reading and work surfaces. The combined form saves space in small interiors.
Hope is a table lamp that combines traditional ceramic craft with modern LED lighting. The body is made of natural ceramic, shaped by established methods, and is joined with a metal frame and an acrylic diffuser. An integrated LED board gives a strong light output suitable for work areas. Brightness is adjusted by touching a metal sphere, so the lamp can also serve as a night light or a decorative object. Two interchangeable sphere finishes, chrome and brass, are included. The lamp measures 355 mm in height, 260 mm in width and 84 mm in depth.
Ledvance is a professional outdoor area light designed for demanding weather conditions. The Opti Select beam control system allows quick switching between Type III, IV and V light distributions through an electronic switch, without removing lenses or screws. A 360 degree hovering LED structure forms a ventilated gap that improves heat dissipation and lets water and snow drain from all angles. The trapezoidal housing, seamless top surface and weatherproof coating limit glare and water ingress. The control module also accepts sound and light sensors.
