Lamps that enhance light, between nature and architecture. Poetic shapes and materials create a perfect balance between design and illumination

Light speaks, and through lamps, it supports and stimulates its interactions with space. The new collections, inspired by nature or the rigor of architecture, explore shapes and materials that enhance light emission. From architectural to fluid volumes, to poetic and brilliant compositions, each piece invites you to be transported, where design and light merge in a perfect balance.

Cantabrina (on cover) by Stefano Traverso for Italamp is more than just a pendant lamp; it is a true furnishing element, capable of telling stories. Inspired by the essential silhouette of a straw, the glass body features two glossy white glass diffusers at the ends, with an internal LED source that diffuses a soft and uniform light.

Criosfera, born from the creativity of Giulia Foscari for Artemide, and presented at Euroluce 2025, is a pendant lamp made of recycled blown glass, inspired by Antarctic ice core drilling. The optical core refracts light like polar ice, amplified by the handcrafted cylinder. LED technology offers uniform light, and the design includes laser-cut structures inspired by ice analysis tools, minimizing waste. Ideal for various environments, it offers a warm and inviting light.
