“When switched off, its transparency
makes Miles almost disappear. When
switched on, it provides a cosy and stylish
luminous presence, stimulating senses and
perceptions.
“For the Soiree family, (pictured on previous
page) we started with the idea of creating
a volume with only one sheet of metal.
Big impact with the minimum amount of
materials is for me, the essence of product
design! The range has been designed to be
voluminous, lightweight and transparent.
Its sophisticated form creates a dense
and decorative effect, filled with a warm
light. It takes its inspiration from many
angles, from the play of light and shadow
in architecture to natural light effects, the
shape of everyday objects and sculptural
art.
“The result is a nest of lights, made of
circles or rectangles, both structural
and decorative – generating a seductive
luminous effect. Even when not turned on,
they bring texture and character to rooms,
defining different areas with small and large
contemporary pendants. The interaction


between the pure circular and rectangle
forms, with the warm light sources and the
symmetric configurations triggers a dynamic
tension.
“And then finally, there is Mello; our
search for a more present and flamboyant
suspension resulted in a co-operation with
master glass blowers, with whom we worked
on the balance between object and light,
between subtle colours, densities and
transparencies. When turned off, its colours
gain definition; when turned on, they
disappear with gentle luminosity. The Mello
offers a sense of special intimacy with direct
light on its below surfaces. At the same time
enhancing the space with warmth, elegance
and transparencies.”
Challenged to create a set of more
decorative and expressive shapes, Delta
Light, presents us with a series of new
adventures in luminaire design. Reflections
is a poetic expression of craftsmanship,
light, technology, texture, shape and mood.
