Euroluce 2023: Grandeur and Luxury in a New Generation of Lighting

Slamp celebrated their ten-year partnership with Zaha Hadid Design studio by showcasing their latest masterpiece, "Aria Infinita" at Euroluce 2023. The "Aria Iinfinita" project pays tribute to the late Zaha Hadid's revolutionary ability to think beyond traditional concepts of design. This dynamic and majestic sculpture showcases sinuous lines and bold shapes that reflect the architect's original approach. The lighting installation appears to float and changes its light and density perception for viewers if they change the point of observation, making it a fascinating object to behold. Moreover, it is not just a traditional lighting concept; it is a modular system that can be perfect for large environments in both domestic and formal settings. "Aria Infinita" is an example of how Slamp continues to push boundaries and look towards the future.

With its intricate design and mesmerizing light effects, "Le Grand Ceremony" is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who experiences it. This opulent suspension is a true celebration of femininity, with a design that evokes the soft brush of a skirt, the gentle curve of a draped fabric, and the shimmer of pearls. But "Le Grand Ceremony" isn't just pretty - it's also a powerful source of light, with cascading rays that create an impressive impact in any space. The technopolymer "necklaces" that make up the fixture add to its ethereal quality, while also helping to distribute the light evenly. Despite its grandeur, this fixture is surprisingly easy to install. Slamp has developed it with larger projects in mind, so "Le Grand Ceremony" can effortlessly dominate even the most massive of spaces. It almost feels like you're walking into a grand ceremony when you stand beneath this stunning piece.

"Quantica" is a lighting fixture that truly embodies the intersection of art and science. This luxurious sculpture celebrates the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, where elements are intertwined and cannot be separated. Through its graphic representation of this cosmic connection, "Quantica" transforms the perception of space through an intricate dialogue between intangible light and dense sculptural elements. The fixture's opulent golden textile effect adds an extra layer of elegance to the already stunning design. It's also crafted with the utmost care and precision. The almost weightless, unbreakable Opalflex technopolymer is cold-cut and then handcrafted by Slamp's team of talented artisans. Their attention to detail is evident in every curve and line of the fixture, making it a true masterpiece of design.

Designed by the talented Defne Koz, the "Filo" series of suspension and wall lamps is the epitome of understated sophistication. At the heart of the collection is a white glass sphere that is held in an elastic balance by a metal bar. The white glass diffuser provides a natural, welcoming atmosphere, the metal bar comes in two different finishes: a chic matte black or a brushed light gold that exudes luxury. Thanks to its unique design, "Filo" doesn't just light up a room - it becomes a part of the space itself. The simple graphic sign draws attention, establishes its own visual area, and gives any location a dash of artistic flair.

Italamp also introduced at Euroluce the collection “Aurora,” a series of floor, table, ceiling, and wall lamps designed by Virginia Cei. By fusing straightforward shapes with quirky accents, this collection embraces a novel approach and creates a singular and varied look. The playful movement of one of its elements adds a touch of unpredictability to the overall composition, creating a sense of energy and movement. The collection is available in a range of colors that evoke the charming hues of the Italian countryside. As Virginia Cei says, only a select few can truly appreciate the beauty of dawn, and with the "Aurora" collection, you can feel that light and magic in your own space.

The "Piola" lighting fixture by Italamp is a captivating example of the ideal fusion of structure and light, presenting a distinct and avant-garde design philosophy. Created by the talented designer Danilo De Rossi, the fixture features a modular grid made of intertwined tubes and cast glass with a texture of micro-bubbles, forming a luminous diaphragm that becomes an architectural element in itself. The glass bars are illuminated by the LEDs on either side, producing a sparkling lighting effect that almost feels like a breath of fresh air. "Piola" is a genuine piece of art that highlights Italamp's aptitude for sculpting matter and light with a unique and imaginative touch.

"Lady D” is a modern take on the classic crystal chandelier. The collection features a white fiberglass diffuser that beautifully complements the silhouette of the hanging and floor lamps. The floor version can be moved with ease thanks to a handy ring on top of the diffuser, while crystal drops lend a bit of glitz to the pendant version. This outdoor hanging lamp is a non-conformist interpretation of a crystal chandelier, just like the Princess of Wales in the context of the royal family, whose name inspired the collection. Matteo Ugolini's creative vision for Karman is distinct and unique, as he designs what he truly likes, with no muse among masters of the past.

"Tee Dimore" by Masiero is a lighting fixture that embodies the perfect balance between elegance and geometric rigor.

The galvanized metal structure finished with a gold-copper galvanic bath supports the luminous spheres that are delicately decorated with spiral lines, evoking a dance of light. Each model from the Dimore collection tells a unique story and is a result of a passionate journey where light meets matter, metal combines with glass and crystals, and tradition smiles at the future. Designed by Valerio Cometti+V12 Design, the "Tee Dimore" is available in various versions - suspension and ceiling, floor and table, and wall-mounted.

The "Ebe" lighting collection by Nicola Gallizia Design Studio draws inspiration from the graceful and timeless Canova sculptures. The collection features jewel-like lamps that filter soft light through delicate mesh lampshades, creating a magical atmosphere in any room. The lamps' painted metal structure in glossy dark chocolate adds a touch of modernity to the overall design. The natural onyx base, a precious stone used in antiquity to make jewelry, adds to the lamps' ethereal feel, with its unique transparency and reflections reminiscent of the enchanting moonlight. With its sinuous shapes and noble materials, the "Ebe" collection is a perfect synthesis of modernity and freshness, embodying the youthful spirit of the mythological goddess it is named after.

Designed by Favaretto&Partners, the "Cordea Dimore" indoor pendant luminaire features a bell-shaped metal body that's surmounted by a sleek lamellar radiator. The body is available in three brilliant finishes: gold, dark nickel, and rose gold, which can be combined with three colors of leather fascia - black, leather, and red. The wide leather band elegantly encircles the metal body and features a golden brass buckle with the Masiero logo. The white satin-finish glass diffuser adds a touch of sophistication to the design. "Cordea" offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic industrial lamp with its aluminum lamellar head. This is an innovative piece that perfectly blends the rationality of industrial design with refined materials, finishes, and colors.

"Visio" by Masiero is a lighting fixture that combines surrealist elements with geometric shapes to create compositions of facial features in various configurations. Designed by Nava + Arosio, this collection is a celebration of the expressive power of the face and the relevance of iconography.

With a Pyrex glass structure and an inner metal reflector, "Medusa" is visually very striking. The fixture is available in three beautiful color variants: glossy black, satin gold, and scarlet red, and it provides soft and warm direct LED light.
