Capsule Collection  Lighting

Capsule Collection

Capsule Collection Volume 01 is a set of three luminaires made of glass, acrylic and metal.

Euphoria Retreat Spa Lighting Design

Euphoria Retreat

Euphoria Retreat is a lighting design created for a spa in Mystras, Greece. The spa is a four-storey building of 3,000 square metres, carved into the base of a mountain. The lighting of each space was treated as a unique element, supporting a gradual and calming sensory journey. Daylight varies greatly from one space to another, so custom luminaires were designed to imitate daylight conditions. The custom luminaires harmonise the transitions between spaces and enhance the immersive architecture.

Cage Lighting

Cage

Cage is a lighting series made of hand-blown glass units held inside metal cages. The glass forms are produced with hot glass blowing, while the metal cages are formed with a traditional mesh system. One of the cages is a pinter, a woven trap made for fishing by Mediterranean fishermen. The amorphous blown shapes refract light at different rates, creating a crystalline effect and casting patterned shadows on surrounding surfaces. The series includes suspended and floor-standing versions in different sizes. The intent is to connect light, glass and the idea of freedom.

Cling Floor Lamp

Cling

Cling is a floor lamp by Robert Dabi. Emerging from the floor plate, the pole seamlessly wraps around a spotless LED ring made of a slim aluminium profile in a diameter of 55 cm. Within the area between pole and the frame holding the light ring, a flexible section is incorporated. This makes it possible to freely move or tilt the ring and thereby adapt the appearance of the lamp to its' surrounding. Robert constructed the lamp with stability in mind – heavy lower steel parts and top aluminium parts sum up to only 2,5 kg of weight.

Obj01 Lamp

Obj01

Obj01 is a table lamp made from a single sheet of raw metal, which can be steel, stainless steel or brass. The sheet is cut by laser and assembled by hand with a rubber hammer, without welded joints. Simple geometric shapes form the lamp: a rectangle, a circle and a cylinder that holds the LED light source. The circle, once cut out, becomes the shade. The metal surface is polished by hand and sealed with wax. An integrated touch dimmer uses the conductive body, so touching any side switches the light and sets the brightness. The lamp measures 38 x 22 x 7 cm.
