A robust study of material evokes the grace and strength of its equine contributor. Wefts of horsehair are combined with brass and etched glass, implying a structural weight-bearing function for the coarse hair.

Meteors slash through the sky, dazzling all who witness their strangeness. It is this primal, cosmic energy that is captured in METEOR. METEOR implements a delicate hand-picked selection of gradations of natural smoky quartz and natural clear quartz, conveying the dynamism and movement of cosmic matter plummeting to Earth. Warm light emanates through the naturally uncut crystals, providing a dramatic glow through dimmable LED technology.

Using a strict arrangement of semi-precious stones, Talisman 14 Pendant Light by Gabriel Hendifar for Apparatus recalls the fine details found on statues in the ancient city of Persepolis. Agate, jasper, or jade beads are pierced by finely fluted pins, affixing them to a leather-bound brass structure.
Laurids Gallée
In ancient cosmologies, the Empyrean was believed to be a celestial place in the highest of heavens, occupied by the element of fire. The warm glow of the ceiling light Empyrean suspended 01 pays homage to this antiquated concept, as Gallée experiments with light through material hues, transparency, and luminosity. Paired with studies of space from today, Gallée observed the warped behavior of light around black holes and translated it into the refraction of light in the Empyrean light. 24m of LED-light strips illuminate the dark resin centerpieces from within, while the rounded edges contort the light rays, creating a floating effect that moves around the geometric composition. The thickness of the resin blocks with the intangible translucence of the light creates a compelling juxtaposition that constitutes a balanced yet playful aesthetic that teases the eye. Empyrean suspended 01 is the first light in the Empyrean collection. As Gallée experiments with the light bending qualities of translucent resin, the Empyrean collection will grow and continue to catch the light.
Veronese
Martha Suspension Light, designed by Fredie Jochimek, is a very beautiful piece in crystal finish. The Martha collection is a tribute to the history of Veronese. With the vision of a contemporary design, Fredie Jochimek pulled from the company archives the most overlooked glass elements of the classic Murano glass chandelier—the cup and bobeches. Traditionally, the cups were designed for the bottoms of chandeliers to cover the inner workings of the lighting design, while bobeches were designed to capture melting wax. Fredie Jochimek boldly places these ornamental glass elements at the center of his collection. With these newly handmade classic Murano glass bobeches and cups, the designer created a contemporary modular lighting design that can evolve into various independent suspensions. Each modular design begins with an LED light source encased in a metal box from which metal extensions can be added at will in various directions. From this point, additional metal extensions can be endlessly added by connecting them to the glass elements. The bobeches and cups become the intersections and the points of light. By combining a modern metal frame with a modular design and classic Murano glass elements, Fredie Jochimek connects the past with today.

Cell Suspension Light, designed by Patrick Naggar, with a steel structure and a lampshade in Murano's glass. This beautiful lamp is made with harmonic and sinuous curves; the lamp presents a high aesthetic value and detailed finishes. The designer was inspired by the Chromosome collection by Art Basel of the year 2015.

Lido Suspension Light, designed by Bruno Moinard, is a very pleasing and appealing suspension light. It takes its inspiration from the 18th-century Rezzonico chandelier. From this iconic design, it was the Bossette – the small blown Murano glass elements encasing the arms and perfectly fitting together – that intrigued designer and architect Bruno Moinard. Fascinated by the beauty of this detail, its marvel, and its versatility, Moinard pulled this glass element from the Rezzonico bouquet, magnified it, and gave it a new contemporary interpretation. The pure design and versatile nature of the Lido collection inspire infinite design possibilities. The structural system was designed to adapt to an endless array of dimensions, compositions, and interior design requirements. Today, the collection includes two large-scale suspensions each with their characteristics designed to complement each other as either part of a composition or to stand alone. Tomorrow, the collection will include sconces, smaller suspensions, floor lamps, and more.
Veronese
Anémone, designed by Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman, is a beautiful suspension light in gold color. The designers have drawn their inspiration from the aquatic world to create Anémone collection. The idea was to assemble a multitude of glass elements entirely shaped by hand. The Murano glass “flags” invite the caresses and give a dynamic miles away from traditional lighting fixtures.

The WOMB lighting collection evokes our deep seated feeling of ‘the primal’ and unlocks the unknown potential that is hidden in the cavities of our world while celebrating life through luminescence. “Walking these ancestral grounds prompts a feeling of reverence and mystique for the people who once inhabited the interleaving Stadsaal Caves. Tremendous voids and cracks shaped by the natural elements created shelter for the first humans who settled in this region. I was fascinated and humbled to witness such signs of life depicted through intricate murals on the cave walls. These moments spent in the caves were a revelation for me on both a personal and artistic level, and inspiration for the new collection.”

This chandelier, called We Are All Made of Stars, creates an irresistible starburst centre-piece to any space, without being overbearing. A masterful piece of contemporary design.
Ini Archibong
Archibong likens the lamps in the Moirai Chandelier to a “constellation of clouds”. Created by the glass technique of cold-working, it has three main families of crystal shade, which can be combined in different configurations. With brass stem mounts they make for an illuminating conversation.

Made to hang at eye level, the Gaea Pendant is like a thought bubble, casting imaginative serenity with its light. It arose after Archibong mused about making a floor lamp for the ceiling, and a lamp hanging as if a cocoon. The Gaea’s cord can be customised with ceramic beads in different finishes.
