Decorative lighting needn’t be confined to the indoor environment. It can be the perfect
addition to an outdoor space, bringing it to life at night and adding character during the day.

Cyborg
MARTINELLI LUCEThe well-established Cyborg light designed by Karim Rashid
for Martinelli Luce has been reinvented as an outdoor light.
The new fixture is made from high-resistance, fiber-reinforced
concrete with selected aggregates. The special form of the
lamp body, with its three legs, and the internal positioning of
the indirect LED light source, generates dramatic effects of
light and shadow on lawns and other outdoor areas.

The Lantern collection by Light-Point, a contemporary take
on the classic lamp shape that dates back centuries, has just
been awarded a Red Dot award for high-quality design.
“We are proud to push the boundaries in lighting design
and receiving the Red Dot award for the Lantern collection
is a recognition of this,” commented Ronni Gol, CEO and
founder of Light-Point. “This design harnesses the latest LED
technology and is both aesthetically timeless and minimal.”
The work of Danish designer Marie Holsting, the Lantern
collection has a rectangular shape and a solid, black-
lacquered aluminium and glass frame. It comes in wall,
floor and portable versions and has a built-in LED light
source. This radiates an interplay of angles and geometric
shapes that gives the collection its distinctive graphical and
architectural appeal.
The wall version comes in two sizes and is also
weatherproof, so is suitable for both indoor and outdoor
use. Indoors, it can create a cosy and intimate lighting
effect, both as a single light source or in combination with
ceiling lamps. Several Lantern wall lamps can be lined up
together on a wall to create a more decorative element.
The light encased in glass also evokes the warmth and safety
of the indoors, as if it is a calming window greeting a weary
traveller on a cold, dark night.
The Lantern floor light, meanwhile, is an elegant option for
outdoors. It creates a light-filled and calming space in the
dark. In this way, the lamp is like a warm and bright pavilion
in the midst of an icy garden in winter. It is available in
sizes 48cm tall and 60cm tall and there is also a low, square
version, which measures 25cm x 25cm. The floor lights work
well as decorative individual pieces or grouped together as
an installation. They are also effective as secondary lighting
in larger spaces such as illuminating a passageway.

IP 55
Following its successful launch in 2018, the Saya
indoor pendant collection designed by Gio Milenni
and Marco Fossati, is presented in an IP55 version,
making it suitable for covered outdoor areas. Saya
is the tale of a journey midway between the East
and the West, where aesthetics and the memory
of far-off cultures are combined with the ancient
Venetian tradition of caged blown glass. The shape
is inspired by a large dew drop depositing and
sliding downwards along a series of metal wires,
that break its fall closing in and giving a
suspended sensation. The cage acquires
new aesthetic value, becoming the
protagonist of the project. The large
blow-glass body is modelled within
it without deformation, creating a
perfect balance between light and
decoration. The collection comprises
several hanging lamps for indoor and
outdoor use in three different shapes. The
caged blown glass diffusers are available in
transparent and white versions.
