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...

This pavilion is a lightweight structure, accompanied with curved resting benches and lighting.

5x5

The story about the 5x5 LED lamp comes together with the 5x5 chair introduced and awarded previous year. The chair's unique material characteristic required tiles’ dimensions of approximately 5x5 cm. Therefore the same dimensions were the starting point for the lamp. In order to avoid the direct form's repetition the 5x5 cm is applied in a form of rhombus, the main modular structure part of the lamp. Several lamps mounted together offer the possibility to create different lighting patterns like zig-zag, diagonal line, the shape of an arrow, or other shapes by using designer's own creativity.
