Be Water Lamp by Fernando Correa
The design is inspired by the continuous, soothing, and hypnotic effect the sunlight reflected on the moving surface of the water makes against vertical walls, under bridges, and boats' hulls.
Cage by Egemen Kemal Vurusan
This design is based on the relationship between glass and the refraction of light. The infiltration of light by finding an absolute path in captivity was used over glass material. The motto of the Cage Series is not to illuminate the spaces, but to make them livable.
Cling by Dabi Robert
This lamp concept involves a certain amount of interaction in order to modify the way light is perceived. This should encourage curiosity and human interaction with the light source, instead of just putting it somewhere to rest.
Zhu Xiaodi Solo Exhibitions Unlimited by Fang Hu

Lucylle Landscape Lamp
In wild nature, we find the light of the stars and the fireflies twinkling dance in bushes as the key ingredients for this magic mood. By transferring these images to the urban landscape, we created a light source that sways in the wind, recreating these feelings of spiritual beauty. Moving in the wind Lucylle creates the fascinating dance of light and shadows allowing nature reveals itself in the architecture.

Stoccolma by Giulia Liverani - Olivelab
Inspired by the strings of a musical instrument, Stoccolma is a lamp that works thanks to the tension of two elastic and metal cables that support and brings current to a central light source.
Mondrian by Monica Pinto de Almeida
