Lighting

Swedish designer Alf Svensson devised the Collector series of lighting in the 1950s. One of three designs, the wall-mounted lamp is defined by its solid brass band that holds a conical metal shade which projects the light in two directions. Small perforations in the shade allows the light to shine through. The name references the collectability of the series, profiling mid-century lighting design at its very best.

The Hashira Collection is a modern, Nordic take on the traditional Japanese rice paper lantern. Conceived for Audo by Norm Architects, the collection’s wall lamp perfectly balances aesthetics and proportion, simplicity and character. The translucent fabric shade – available in white linen and raw slub linen – acts as a diffuser, projecting the light in multiple directions while creating a cosy, glare-free ambience. The tactile fabric also adds palpable appeal that enhances the softness of an interior. Spreading ambient light in a room, it looks equally elegant mounted alone on a wall as it does in pairs above a bed or sofa.

A collaboration between Audo and Tim Rundle, the TR Bulb is designed to be taken from home to home, installed by simply screwing it into the pendant sockets hanging from ceilings all around the world—no electrical expertise required. The understated TR Bulb Ceiling/Wall Lamp attaches seamlessly to a wall or ceiling with concealed screws to provide light where needed. Its dimmable LED bulb is concealed within an elegant opal glass shade that acts as a diffuser, emitting an even, glare-free glow. Available with fixtures in either powder-coated steel, brushed brass or mirror polished steel, the design brings both sophistication and ambience to a space.

TR Bulb is a clever solution for modern city living, inspired by the way people are increasingly becoming urban nomads, moving between cities and countries to pursue careers and life experiences. The first collaboration between Audo and Tim Rundle, TR Bulb is designed to be taken from apartment to apartment – installed by simply screwing it into the pendant sockets hanging in ceilings all over the world, no electrical expertise required. The dimmable LED bulb, with its elegant, spherical form hides the lamp fitting, while the opal glass diffuser creates an even, harmonious glow, preventing glare.

Audo has partnered with the London-based Rundle to diversify the range of offerings from the TR series. “When a light has such a simple form, subtle differences can create a distinctly different character. The new shiny version offers a more classical feeling to the design”, Rundle says.

Kenneth Bergenblad’s iconic design combines minimal expression with a playful tilting and rotating functionality, allowing light to be directed with precision and without glare. Its folded shade evokes the wing of a bird in flight — a gesture of elegance and utility. Available in two finishes and in EU and US versions, Wing Wall Lamp offers sculptural presence without distraction.

The starting point for the Ambrosia was to bring back the traditional Linestra lamp to update it and show that a technical, resolute design can also be poetic. The Linestra was initially a line of light, which transitioned into a modular system that can be extended to adapt to any space.

Its design stems from a tubular structure with gentle lines that attaches to the ceiling, allowing the light to descend and gently illuminate any type of project. It is this diffuse light that fills the space, adding beauty.

This lighting system is available in four pre-set lengths, from 120 to 315 cm. Extensions measuring 40 and 60 cm let you define the height from which to hang them. That way, you can adjust their distance from the ceiling to create visually uninterrupted compositions.

The LED SMD 24V light tube is available in three warm colour temperatures, 2200K, 2700K and 3000K, and offers adjustable intensity. It can also be installed on a canopy that…

Since its beginnings, Atlas has consisted of a transparent polycarbonate design that envelops the bulb and has the interior structure of a spotlight. A transparent suit that conveys lightness and enables it to blend in with its surroundings.

It is available in a pendant version that emits directed light, or as a wall lamp, in which the light can be direct or indirect, bouncing off the ceiling or wall.

A simple household item kickstarted the design process of the Aura wall lamp. This decorative lamp, which provides outstanding light while turn on but stands out beautifully while off as well, was inspired by the traditional glass carafe, a mainstay of households the world over.

The Aura follows an emotional design, because of what glass means in the collective memory, as well as a rational and contemporary design because it draws on LED technology to achieve efficiency and subtlety. The opalescent, transparent, or coloured glass of its lampshade allows the light to bathe the wall and creates a luminous effect without harshness, while also generating a point of interest in the space.

Aura comes in two sizes – 18 and 25 cm in diameter – to provide lighting solutions for smaller or larger spaces. This light and forceful wall lamp should be in ideal proportion to the interior that it has to illuminate, and the proportion always depends on…

Babila demonstrates that, when it comes to a design, the material can be as important as the shape.  This new outdoor wall sconce is of polished stainless steel, a circular object that produces a panoramic effect, reflecting its surroundings. It is not designed to be an architectural element, but rather a simple and beautiful design that draws attention, whether on or off, as it allows us to catch a glimpse of the daily life occurring around it.

Babila comes in two sizes, 18 and 28 cm in diameter, and is also available in matt white or brown varnished aluminium, which provide a more discreet alternative to the chrome finish. In all of them an aura of blurred light is generated, a detail that contrasts with its material. Its lighting is indirect, soft on the wall, and well integrated into outside spaces.

The Bohemia is unique. At first glance, it appears to be made of blown glass—but its size made this option untenable. Its designer, Joan Gaspar, overcame this difficult challenge by opting for polycarbonate instead.

The result is an exciting, organic, translucent profile that integrates two volumes into a single shape. This allows for a large shade in different colors that don’t interfere with the interior, which is always white, giving of impeccable lighting with no color bleed. It comes in amber, green, and as a novelty, in a smoked finish. This latter color offers less contrast, with a more discreet monochromatic appearance, allowing the shape to be the protagonist rather than the hue.

When it’s on, the Bohemia shines a white light downward, while also enhancing the shade with subtle hues and shadows. This interplay between shadow and light defines the two volumes. The Bohemia is bright and striking, with an exceptional light that aims to…

In such a digital era as today’s, when you can buy anything with just a click and read by swiping a finger, we sometimes miss something as human as a touch, and everything that entails. The Bolita lamp beckons you to touch it to adjust it.

Its structure is as simple as it is magical: a rounded surface that houses an LED located on a central axis, and an overlapping glass sphere that when moved, creates an eclipse effect. Moving the Bolita dims or boosts the light, an interplay that captivates with its beautiful visual effect.

Bolita seeks out that user interaction. The idea of Florian and Sebastian at the kaschkasch studio was to design a lamp in which the dimming process was mechanical and not electronic. A technologically innovative design that brings back the sense of touch.

The beauty of the Cala collection comes from its simple, essential form: a shade that embraces the light without restricting it, letting it project its warmth around you space. Its oak wood structure is lightweight yet strong, and is inspired by the classic painter’s easel. An iconic Marset design defined by that most precious pairing: form and function.

A highly functional lamp perfect as general lighting for larger spaces.

The Cala collection is also available in an outdoor version and a metal version.
