HOPE
designed by: Gomez Paz, Francisco Rizzatto, Paolo - 2010

A series of thin polycarbonate Fresnel lenses, created using imprinted microprisms on
polycarbonate film to achieve a dioptric effect similar to glass (without any limitations
in terms of space, thickness and weight), multiply the light from the light source,
recreating a pleasant, glittery and party-like atmosphere, sprinkled with thousands
of shards of light like the diamond which inspired the name: Hope. Hope – the fruit
of a brilliant project and manufacturing process – has been designed for use with
any type of light source: the latest generation of halogens and energy-saving
fluorescent light bulbs. available at: thresholdfurniture.com

CHOUCHIN
designed by: Ionna Vautrin

Chouchin is the Japanese word for the traditional, symbolic paper and bamboo lanterns
used as light, luminous signs outside public places or as lucky charms outside homes. The
young French designer, Ionna Vautrin, was inspired by this ethereal, poetic and almost
magical object and has reinterpreted it in a contemporary key. It has an essential and,
at the same time, evocative design: the glass body, obtained through a single blowing
process, is closed by a collar underneath. Color played a key role in the choice of
materials: glass offers a warm surface on which the varnish produces a full, brilliant colour.
The varnish, which makes the body completely impermeable to light and extremely glossy,
ends where the white collar begins. available at: lightsfantastic.com

CHICAGO
designed by: Fabrice Berrux

This elegantly designed lamp feels more like a well constructed building than your typical
household floor lamp. Made from PMMA or better known as acrylic glass ( a transparent
thermoplastic, often used as a light or shatter-resistant alternative to glass ), just may have
the strength of that downtown highrise.. Anyway, it's available in red, white and a smoke
color and the base is white painted metal. available at: roche-bobois.com

EXCEL
designed by: Rich Brilliant Willing - 2010

A spare and elegant aluminum form provides the structure to support the illuminated fabric
shades of the Excel Chandelier. Excel's hidden secret - metallic reflectors located inside the
shades. The shades pivot slightly to provide directional illumination. Excel is suspended from
two independently mounted cables, and a third cable and electrical wire that goes to the
junction box. Black frame and shades. available at: rollandhill.com

AERIS
designed by: Frank Cafaro

Aeris is another beautiful modern form from Cerno that incoporates walnut, aluminum and
polymer. The 16 w fixture incorporates the warm color temperature 2700K and dimmability
that are increasingly demanded of today’s LEDs. Light output is 645 lumens of downlighting
plus a 430- lumen uplight for an ambient glow.” available at: l ightsfantastic.com

CAN CAN
designed by: Marcel Wanders

A lamp with a dual personality, Can Can's clean, linear shape acts as the container for a
sophisticated decorative effect. Like many of Marcel Wanders creations, Can Can melds
together simple classic forms with features that draw on tradition. From a distance, Can Can
introduces itself as a lamp with a stern design that unexpectedly, when seen close up, reveals
a floral decoration that filters the light as it is diffused. Delicate and unpredictable, the beam
is broken by the polycarbonate decorative flourish to create an ever changing fabric of light.
Injection-molded PMMA body and diffuser. Polycarbonate ceiling fitting. Body available in
black or white finish; diffuser available in transparent, fuchsia or yellow finishes.

ANISHA
designed by: Studio Lievore Altherr Molina

Like a fluid and enveloping frame, an irregular ellipse that gives a sense of becoming,
Anisha outlines an empty space, defines it and fills it with its light, producing a magical
sensation. Its plastic, dynamic shape generates multiple reflections on its surface and
reveals its sculptural essence. Anisha is not just a lamp, but a surprising, personal object
you will fall in love with at first sight. available at: www.foscarini.it

INVISIBLE
designed by: Castor

Invisible Chandelier is a collection of hundreds of burnt out light bulbs lit from within.
These are works of art, and each light has it's own identity as they will never be the
same. Available in two sizes. Provides diffused ambient illumination. Invisible Chandelier is
suspended from independently mounted support cables with a "floating" canopy.
