Spin

Spin, designed by Ruben Saldana, is a suspended LED luminary for accent lighting. The minimum expression of its essential lines, its rotation geometry and its shape -which stems from its function-, give Spin its beautiful and harmonious design. Its body, entirely manufactured in aluminium, confers lightness and consistency, whilst acting as a heat sink. Its flush-mounted ceiling base and its ultra-thin tensor generates a sensation of aerial floatability. Available in black and white texturized finishes, Spin is the perfect light fitting to be placed in bars, counters, showcases...

Exocet

Exocet is an innovative concept chair. The ergonomic design allows to transform it into various furniture styles. From a tall chair to a double lounge chair or hammock-style rocker, it can be configured in several ways to meet different needs and wants. The Exocet is crafted from a single main piece. Identical slats are assembled around a cylinder offering a 360˚ rotation. Once the desired configuration is obtained, the user simply tightens the handle to lock the chair into position.

Lightscape Pavilion

Treasure Hill in Taipei is an old settlement with a vision of an artist compound. The contrast between the new and the old, villagers and the artists, creates an interesting dialogue, which can be experience by the visitors. Situated at the highest point of Treasure Hill, the Lightscape Pavilion becomes a focal point that can be seen from far away. The design concept is inspired by the traditional Chinese lantern, which is made with bamboo and paper. This pavilion is a lightweight structure, accompanied with curved resting benches and lighting.

Vary

Every step and every path needs time. Time and change are the two aspects to Florian Freihöfers design. The geometrical change of the luminaire from angular to round symbolises change in everybodies life. The luminaire ensures that change remains a visible part of life. On pictures it appears as if there were different luminaires, a round and a square one, but it is in fact just a single one.
