Nightside

Nightside is a table lamp designed for use at night. When closed, Nightside gives a warm low glow that lights the area nearby. When more light is needed, a press on the top reveals an extendable spotlight for bedtime activities such as reading and writing, without disturbing others in the room. The spotlight uses a patented optical projection system with three lenses and a single warm-white LED to create a bright and even beam that can be directed up to ninety degrees. The lamp is energy efficient and runs on one watt of power.

Aggregate

Aggregate is a collection of three floor lamps made from recycled and discarded materials. Each lamp is built on a welded skeleton formed from discarded steel scraps. The body is sculpted by hand from a mixture of concrete, silica sand and shredded plastic bottles, applied over a thin alkali-resistant fiber base. The concrete mixture is worked like clay rather than cast in a mould, so each lamp has its own texture and silhouette. LED tube bulbs supply the light, and a step switch at the base turns each lamp on and off. The collection aims to give urban waste a new use.

Shangrao Seazen Wuyue Plaza

Shangrao Seazen Wuyue Plaza is a nightscape lighting design for a large commercial complex. The theme draws on the local water culture, the dragon culture and the character of the building facade. The curtain wall facade acts as the carrier, where points, lines, light and shadow are combined to form calm night views. Two operation modes are provided. The daily mode covers basic lighting and safety. The festival mode highlights celebrations. An intelligent control system, LED lamps and fluorescent lamps are used to limit energy use.

Glassy Library

Glass Library is a lighting scheme for a library set inside a three-level split glass building. The ambient lighting is kept soft and even, so reading stays comfortable as daylight changes. Concealed LED strips inside suspended steel rods create a flowing halo. Recessed floor uplights emphasize the column and the feature wall, while custom recessed accent lights highlight the artifacts. A photo sensor near the glass curtain walls balances interior light levels during the day, as no dimming system could be used.

Oplamp

Oplamp is composed of a ceramic body and a solid wood base on which an led light source is placed. Thanks to its shape, obtained through the fusion of three cones, the Oplamp's body can be rotated to three alternative positions that creates different types of light: high table lamp and ambient light, low table lamp and ambient light, or two ambient lights. Each configuration of the lamp’s cones allows at least one of the beams of light to interact naturally with the surrounding architectural settings. Oplamp is designed and made entirely by hand in Italy.

25 Nano

25 Nano is an artistic light instrument to represent ephemeral and permanence, birth and death. Working with Spring Pool Glass Industrial CO., LTD, whose vision is building a systematic glass recycle loop for a sustainable future, 25 Nano chose the relatively fragile bubble as a medium in contrast with solid glass to embody the idea. In the instrument, light shimmers through life cycles of the bubble, projecting rainbow-like color and shadows to the environment, creating a dreamy atmosphere around the user.

Benaki Museum Pavilion, Greece

Benaki Museum Pavilion is an architectural lighting scheme for a museum shop and exhibition space. The pivoting iron entrance door holds exhibit cases, and the lighting is integrated into the door structure. Custom spherical fixtures are mounted with magnets and powered by a low voltage circuit carved into the metal, so no cables are visible. Inside, adjustable spots are set in recessed tracks between the wooden ceiling beams. Cove lighting in cool white emphasizes the aluminum foam shelves, and small recessed spots highlight the artifacts.

Flex

Flex is a series of household lamps that includes two table lamps and one floor lamp. Each lamp is made of a solid wood light unit, a neodymium ball, a metal pole and a base. A magnetic connection joins the light unit to the stand and allows the light unit to be turned in any direction. The light unit can also be removed and fixed to other surfaces with magnetic accessories, so it can serve as a wall lamp. A touch sensor in the wooden housing sets three levels of brightness. The wood is coated with wax to keep its natural texture.

Glow Globs

Glow Globs is an inflatable lighting installation made of white nylon fabric, a blower fan and LED lights. The installation consists of three abstract forms, each measuring between 2.5 and 3 meters in each direction. The shapes were developed with three-dimensional modeling and were inspired by smoke and air flow. Each form is built from 80 to 100 sewn panels. LED lights are suspended inside, so the color changing light is diffused softly through the fabric. The forms collapse when the fan is switched off, so the installation can be moved and deployed at other locations.

Froggie

Froggie is a table lamp inspired by the double life of amphibians between land and water. The design captures the moment when a frog rises above the water surface. The eyes of Froggie serve as the two light sources, while the exposed body above the water forms the base. Both eyes are bendable, so the eye shapes can be adjusted to different positions to create varied lighting effects. A touch sensor button is placed in each nostril, so each light can be switched on and off separately. Froggie explores biomimicry as a source of playful design.

Waterlight

Waterlight is a desktop lamp inspired by the water faucet. Turning the control bar up and down changes the brightness of the light. Turning the control bar from left to right adjusts the color temperature. Two potentiometers inside the sphere, one horizontal and one vertical, change the input voltage to create these effects. The light is produced by LED cells on a base. The head is made of bronze, the top lid of natural marble and the outer shell of glass. The bottom lid holds a circuit for wireless charging, so the lamp can be carried between rooms.

Phantom

Phantom is an integrated wall lamp designed for living rooms and commercial spaces. All parts of Phantom are placed inside the wall, which creates the illusion of a three-dimensional table lamp gliding on the surface. The form is inspired by rock-cut architecture and by the restrained exterior of Byzantine churches. Two material versions are offered: one in brass and one in gypsum, which lowers the cost and allows painting in any color. LEDs are placed above and below the body. A touch sensor at the lower part adjusts the light with one touch.
