LucePlan: New Quality Of Lamps

Very unusual and surprising by their beauty lamps have become the trend of one of the largest Italian factory LucePlan. The lamp that is called in honor of one of the biggest brilliant in the world – legendary to “Hope” is the best creation in 2009 of this brand LucePlan. Consisting of a set of lenses, the lamp really sparkles, as a jewel in hundreds of beams. However it is not extracted from mines, it is produced by factory LucePlan. In a difficult crisis year the model Hope has completely justified its name, having won a huge popularity of consumers. New technologies and unusual forms are genially combined in the lamp, they have become an integral part of design of the future.

The foundation of the brand LucePlan in 1978 has become a result of cooperation of three talented architects. The lamps by LucePlan maintain stand the strictest criticism both from the technical side as well as from the aesthetic. The company’s philosophy consists in the careful approach to such components of lamps production, as conformity of materials to high ecological requirements, the maximum user comfort, an aesthetics and originality of design.

In the course of manufacturing of lamps the factory LucePlan avoids all technological processes that can cause damage to environment. One of the most popular series of lamps is called «Fortebraccio». It illustrates the exclusive attentiveness of creators to the details.

Even very simple lamps by LucePlan show the embodiment of original technical thought. By the way such models of lamps as Strip and Metropoli despite the external simplicity, the other manufacturers cannot repeat.

LucePlan considers that the especially successful models of lamps should be repeated. When the manufacturer repeats itself the product always acquires new qualities. So in 2006 there were “remakes” of earlier models that were called Grande Costanza and Queen Titania. It is not excluded, that sensational in 2009 “Hope” once will be “republished”, as it is already draws the attention of many lamp designers and consumers.

Lamps By Artemide: Part 2

Today we will continue our talk about interesting and new lamps that are produced by Artemide.

Metal petal
A sconce that is called Eurialo looks very simple but provokes mixed associations. It is very similar to the fashionable fastener which has unexpectedly appeared on a wall. The sconce is presented in two colours. The “petal” is made so that it can cover a light source from different directions and, so, powerful light will not be extremely bright.

A table lamp Tolomeo Micro is a continuation of a popular series of table lamps and floor lamps Tolomeo. The progress dictates new conditions, and Artemide is the first who picks up new trends. So that a popular series of lamps has also extended at the expense of a new table lamp.

Luxerion by Artemide is another series of lamps that are very popular today. The interest to these lamps is clear – the factory has made a rather courageous experiment, having added to the lamps the function of air cleaner. And, probably, it was done in order to justify the prefix Lux in the name. Only the well-known designers were invited to create the design of these lamps. Four extremely interesting objects appeared:

The pendant lamp AZIO is remarkable due to the fact that its design was developed by Karim Rashid. The deftactor is made from glass. However, character of this lamp is intimate.

The pendant lamp FARSALO by Michele De Lucchi is very close to a Rashid’s. The light is even more intimate and warm.

The lamp FILIPPI by Alessandro Pedretti Studio Rota and Partners is very similar or even indistinguishable from AZIO by the charactristics.

And, at last, I am glad to present TIAN XIA AIR. This lamp is a cylinder that is made from from transparent thermoplastic. If the previous lamps gave, basically, two kinds of light – direct and reflected – that Tian Xia Air represents almost all kinds – and direct, reflected, disseminated and directed. And, not only white, but also colour.

Lamps that are produced by German factory B+M Leuchten stand out a little bit from other lamps. When Italians pronounce such words as “exclusive” or “elite”, they mean, first of all, the unusual look, the originality of design, the unique idea that is obviously evident.

When the same words are pronounced by Germans, it traditionally means the highest quality of each detail, pedantic German attention to study of each little detail – both while manufacturing and designing. These lamps are in all senses deprived of mistakes. Any connection, any joint are adjusted ideally. While producing lamps only the unique technologies are used, such as the quality of the varnish covering that is very durable and stable to outer influences. All lamps are made from a brass of file that adds to them noble massiveness and weightiness.
