Baldachin
Continuing their soft architecture range, these cable leadthroughs remove the need for unsightly ceiling roses for pendant lights. Available in different versions (‘inny’ and ‘outy’ versions, if you like) the Baldachin series offers a neat and easy push-in-pull-out connection system.
Lum
The Lum wall, designed by Estefania Johnson, is a modular system that can be used to construct a rippling surface bursting with light. Formed from a choice of natural or oxidised (greened) copper, modules are either flat or contain light sources. By combining both, a range of effects can be created.

IC Lights
Though focusing more on their architectural range, Flos’s Light + Building stand still had some decorative touches, like the IC Lights designed by Michael Anastassiades. Minimalist opalescent spheres of light balancing on thin stems, finished in either brass or anthracite.

Orpheus
Orpheus brings a soft, organic yet still contemporary look to Astro’s growing range of marker lights. Suitable for any space, but particularly bathrooms, Orpheus emits a cone of light that acts as an extension of its form. Just 70mm x 70mm, this IP65 LED luminaire comes in white or chrome.

Volume
Inspired by the buttons on an original 1980s stereo amplifier, designer GamFratesi has created this LED table lamp made of die-cast aluminium and acrylic. The lamp provides a 360º illumination and out through an opening at the top of the lamp. Rotating the lamp’s head adjusts the light output.
Cielo
Designed by BSD for Ocari (part of the Optoled Lighting family), Cielo is a piece of convex acryl glass on to which a pattern has been etched. Illuminated, the pattern springs to life, giving each design the appearance of floating in mid air. A range of patterns (such as Kalligraphie, pictured) are available.
Maple
Designed by Brian Rasmussen, Maple is composed of chromed steel leaves hung around an ovoid cage structure. Each leaf is created from a thin sheet of steel and cut out by a process of photo-etching. With a PVD colouring process, three finishes are available: chrome, gold and copper.

Moss
Moss was born when, in a flurry of inspriation, designer Filipe Lisboa stormed out of his office and into the manufacturing space. Moss is made of a metalised copper polycarbonate globe and white-frosted glass bulbs. It measures 30” in diameter. Custom drops are available on request.
Pixelate
Pixelate is inspired by the undulating movement of a manta ray sliding across the air. It combines its movement and shape with modern chrome finishing and ultra-thin (3.3mm) GL350 Philips Lumiblade OLED Panel light sources, creating a unique, flat form. Pixelate can be adapted for special projects.

Emma
Designed by Álvaro Goula and Pablo Figuera as a contemporary expression of Estiluz’s tradition of metalwork, Emma is a series of suspension and wall lights in 320mm, 400mm and 600mm models. The suspension lamp is a combination of chrome with a black top, while the wall lamp has a mirror finish.
Carmencita
Carmencita is a wall lamp with articulated arms that can be repositioned to create a variety of aesthetic solutions. LED light sources running along the rear side of these arms illuminate the wall while throwing the fixture itself into silhouette. The piece is available in black or white metal.
