Spirito

Magic attracts people, and predictions of the future and netherworld especially. In search, people conduct spiritualistic sessions with a glass ball. Similar crystals were used in 2000 BC by Celtic druids. These items became the inspiration for the collection. Lamps look like levitating spirits. The LED is located in a base and throws its light up. It makes the gradient shade luminous and re-reflects the light down, creating a halo of light. Elements are put on each other. It helps avoid the unnecessary mounts. The name was inspired by the books of the founder of spiritualism; Allan Kardec.

Eureka

The Eureka Lounge Chair is inspired by the smallest surface in nature, the Empener surface, and gives a sense of order and flow to the lounge space through a mathematically modelled curved form. The smooth curves and curved edges add visual tension to the product. Wool fabrics from the Kvadrat Sprinkles collection, in warm colours, allows the user to perceive the comfort of the furniture before using it and creates a desire to confirm this feeling through use.

Bangkok

The architecture of the ancient Thai temple became the inspiration for the collection. These structures reflect the principles of the Buddhist universe about the ghostly nature of life. This is expressed in the tiered structure. Between each tier there are light windows that fill the center of the temple with light and illuminate relics. Applying this principle to the design, it was made of several rows of glasses, and LEDs. This creates colorful glare on glass elements and scattered light. Silhouettes were based on the temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok.

Flatiron

Achille Castiglioni was convinced that the designer should delete, delete, delete and at the end find the core aspect of the design. Bruno Munari was used to say that to complicate things is easy, while to simplify things is very hard. Flatiron comes from the crasis of this two references. A light source encased by a body made by a simple metal sheet with just one fold. The minimum amount of elements for a product with great prominence, a collection of lamps characterized by a design as essential as effective.

Grampo

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.
