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.

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.
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.
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.

Otsuchi is a table lamp made from deer leather sourced in Otsuchi, Iwate, Japan. The town was struck by the tsunami caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Local crops were later damaged as the number of deer increased and the number of residents declined. Local hunters began a game meat business to make use of deer hunted as pests. The lamp is built from a 3D printed structure covered with deer leather, and the texture recalls the form of a living animal. The design honors the life of the deer and offers a calm presence.
X Modular Lamp is a reconfigurable lighting system for residential and commercial spaces. The design is centered on an X-hinge mechanism with two rotating X-shaped frames. Users adjust the frames by hand to change the light direction and the sculptural form. The lamp can be combined with other modules, hung from a ceiling or placed on a surface. Each module folds flat for compact transport and storage. The structure is made of aluminum alloy, and the diffuser is made of acrylic. Magnetic connectors allow assembly without tools.
Anima is an outdoor lamp designed for garden and landscape lighting. The main components are made of premium acrylic glass, which withstands temperature changes and physical impacts. Two decorative elements with a water pattern interact with integrated LED lights to create a caustic effect that recalls natural water. LEDs placed above and beside the acrylic parts give warm, diffused light directed upward and downward. The precision machined metal body houses an LED module with specialized optics. The lamp is 750 mm high and 170 mm wide.
Zero is a track light designed for magnetic track systems. The circular form of Zero refers to the symbol of zero, representing both beginning and infinity. A magnetic mounting system allows fast installation on the upper or the lower side of a track, for ceiling, wall or pendant use. A rotation mechanism adjusts the direction of the light beam. LEDs with a colour temperature of 3000 K and a matte white diffuser give comfortable, glare free light across a wide 180 degree beam angle. The module uses 10 W and gives 550 lumens.
