Big Bubble
DESIGN PLUS AWARDS 2014
Dark’s first collaboration with Alex de Witte is both a Design Plus Award 2014 and Red Dot 2014 winner. The Big Bubble is a hand-blown glass bubble fitted with a dimmable Xicato LED-lamp. A choice of glass colours is available (smoke, smoke-green, red or amber, and transparent).
Diabolo
DESIGN PLUS AWARDS 2014
Two hemispheres - a couple, or perhaps twins - combine to form Diabolo. This Design Plus winner has an LED source concealed within the upper section, which can rotate 190° / 360° on its axis. The piece is available as a table-lamp, wall lamp or ceiling lamp and in several colours.

Tilt
DESIGN PLUS AWARDS 2014
Tilt emanates an open and soft light, and directs it exactly where it is needed. Easy, intuitive handling allows the shade to swivel in every direction along its oblong opening. It works like a cupped reflector that can be freely moved around the light source, thus directing it as required.
Aspen
Named after the Colorado ski resort that enjoyed its heyday in the ‘60s, Aspen utilises a range of pastel tones that evoke the era. Each piece comprises a double shade with lacquered matt finishes (in blue, yellow, orange, green, grey or white) and is available with 17cm and 40cm diameter shades.
Eloise
Eloise has a body made of a light, curved steel tube whose extremely slim head can be rotated through 360º. Activated by a tap of its touch-sensitive surface, Eloise also has a going-to-bed function that dims the lamp over a period of three minutes before finally switching the luminaire off.

Filò
Filò is one lamp that can be styled into a whole library of different shapes. Each curved wooden element can slide its entire length through the central band of the piece. With an LED light source along the inner edge of these batons, Filò can be customised to produce a discintive light and mood.

Swan
The new Swan series includes elegant table, wall, floor and pendant models.
The LED lamps are graceful and slender, combining functionality with intricate details. Fashioned from wood with a beautifully smooth edged finish, the pieces demonstrate Tunto’s skill at working with wooden materials.
Luna Nova
The pluma cubic brand was launched in 2005. Designed by Berlin-based architect Heike Buchfelder, the pieces combine feather materials with geometric forms. The Luna Nova table light, for example, uses iridescent green rooster tail feathers mounted atop a black oak stand.

Zooid Diamond
The Zooid Diamond chandelier took centre stage on Aqua Creations’ stand. With dimensions 180cm x 100cm x 100cm the piece demonstrates designer Albi Serfaty’s new range of more angular geometric forms. The Zooid Diamond comprises silver coloured silk mounted on a metal structure.
Ylux
The heart of each Ylux luminaire is a patented head made of solid aluminium, which dissipates any heat generated. The heads are available in a choice of six different surface finishes and deliver a beam that can be continuously adjusted from 40º to 100º by a twist of the lens casing.

Max Bill
To mark the 50th anniversary of Miguel Milá’s classic Max Bill, Santa & Cole have reissued it as a version that will fit their HeadLed capsule. A great example on how to technologically update a classics without losing the beauty and essence of the original. A classic adapted to our times. A marriage of winners.
Eclisse
Eclisse is a suspended piece that provides a customisable level of indirect light. A concaved reflector, set between the ceiling rose and lightsource, can be moved up or down the support cables to vary light levels. Available in liquid enamel, titanium, chocolate, silver leaf and gold leaf colour combinations.
