Table Lamp
Magic attracts people, and predictions of the future and netherworld especially. In search, people conduct spiritualistic sessions with a glass ball. Similar crystals were used in 2000 BC by Celtic druids. These items became the inspiration for the collection. Lamps look like levitating spirits. The LED is located in a base and throws its light up. It makes the gradient shade luminous and re-reflects the light down, creating a halo of light. Elements are put on each other. It helps avoid the unnecessary mounts. The name was inspired by the books of the founder of spiritualism; Allan Kardec.

The architecture of the ancient Thai temple became the inspiration for the collection. These structures reflect the principles of the Buddhist universe about the ghostly nature of life. This is expressed in the tiered structure. Between each tier there are light windows that fill the center of the temple with light and illuminate relics. Applying this principle to the design, it was made of several rows of glasses, and LEDs. This creates colorful glare on glass elements and scattered light. Silhouettes were based on the temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok.

This collection turns sound into an object. Now people can not only hear the melody, but also see and touch it. During the development, the musical composition of Claude Debussy "Prelude No. 3, Wind on the Plain" was first chosen. After that, the music was turned into an image of a sound wave using a special program. It became the basis for the silhouette of the lamp. However, the changes were made to it in order to optimize the design for light properties and requirements for mass production. In the lamp, the elements are put on top of each other to get rid of the glass fasteners.

Pendant Lamp
The collection is dedicated to the ancient cultures of Mesoamerica. They were famous for their jewelry art. In some Mesoamerican cultures, ornaments had ritual and religious significance. In addition, they often had a similar silhouette in the form of an inverted crescent moon. Therefore, this form formed the basis. The lamps have a characteristic gold color and are framed on both sides by glass with polygonal ornaments. Numerous facets refract the luminous flux and create spectacular glare. This symbolizes the gems that adorned jewelry.

Pendant Lamp
The very name of the collection tells us a lot about the mysteries this luminaire hides. The luminaire's concise design is not only dictated by contemporary trends, but above all by its design features. The shape of the luminaire hides almost endless adjustment possibilities, so that the lighting can be set individually for the user. The luminaire consists of a cylindrical metal base, hosting the LED light source. It features semi-circular elements. At the top there is a unique adjustment system, using which the orientation of the light beam can be changed in the vertical direction.

Pendant Lamp
Natural phenomena, objects, and substances are clear, unified, and unambiguous as they are. The perception is what gives them infinite variability, makes them unique, and allows them to reveal new interpretations. It is like a ray of light that shows exceptional facets and depth that were not visible before. In introspective psychology, the process of comprehending the feelings and emotions associated with the reactions to the surrounding reality is called reflection. This term inspired designers to create this collection and gave it the name Reflex.

Floor Lamp
Floor lamp was created under the influence of the concept of empathy. In other words, the lamp understands the functional and emotional needs of a person as much as possible. In this lamp, a motion sensor was used for control. You can turn it on and change the power of the light flux without touching it. From a hygiene point of view, it is very convenient for public spaces. Moreover, a specially designed rotary mechanism is used in the floor lamp. This mechanism can be rotated 360° horizontally and 90° vertically. The floor lamp has a laconic design devoid of visual noise.

The lamp was developed under the influence of the research about the concept of proprioception. This special, muscular sense, thanks to which a person feels his own body in space, is informally called the Sixth Sense. Thanks to this design approach, it has been developed a floor lamp that a person can use with their eyes closed, without being distracted from their work or leisure. With the help of a base, the lamp can be placed as close as possible to the workplace or even between and furniture. And also with the help of switches located at the arm's length.
