THE WARMTH OF HOME IN A PUBLIC SPACE
Providing urban areas with warmth and conviviality by understanding public space as an extension of home—this is the conceptual origin of the Lamp Shade series. The transformation of the iconic indoor lamp, Twilight, into an outdoor luminaire made of robust materials to preserve lightness and clean lines.
ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION
The Lamp Shade was designed by prestigious Dutch studio ipv Delft. This model was originally conceived for the city of Zoetermeer, where there was a need to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in a space of cold concrete pavements. Since then, many Dutch cities have undergone a similar transformation. Today the Lamp Shade series is present in cities like Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Emmen, Capelle aan den IJssel and Ede. Cooperation with Modernista and SETGA to the development of the LED version of the Lamp Shade series, and this timeless design is now equipped with the latest lighting technology.
MATERIALS AND SUSTAINABILITY
The Lamp Shade series light body has been industrialized with braided RSV, providing a textured appearance, as well as soft and diffused lighting. Public space requires high standards of sustainability and resistance. RSV comprised of AISI316L Stainless Steel is the ideal to address both vandalism and the degrading impact of environments with a high salt load. And it is one of the most recycled materials in the world. The fixture’s durability and planned reintroduction in the production cycle of other industries after lifetime completion will produce significant energy savings, compared to the use of other metals.
