Laurameroni – “Elements” Collection

ELEMENTS is a unique collection of lamps which falls outside the usual parameters of an industrial product in terms of its conception and materials. While each object has its own particular identity, the collection was designed so that each lamp can be inserted into a larger interior scenario.

The name ELEMENTS also refers to the materials used- a selection of base elements; copper, nickel, aluminum and other simple alloys such as brass. The metals are presented in their natural state, their special unique finishes have been hand created by artisans. This approach with the rigorous attention to details, contributes to define a timeless style.

The adjustable hanging spotlight WORK LIGHT MA01 and the hanging spotlight WORK LIGHT SOSPENSIONE MA 05 are technical lamps made in thick burnished brass, with a handmade finish. The hanging version widens the range of products and allows the creation of different sets.

The hanging lamp DARK LIGHT MA 10 refers to the technique “Dark Light”, used in some technical office lighting. The particular configuration of these lamps allows the light to be controlled through a series of reflectors or baffles. This creates a luminous intensity directly underneath the fixture while controlling the glare from a distance. This optical effect, often applied to recessed down-light, is particularly fascinating as from a distance the light source is almost indiscernible, revealing itself when approached. The concept of the suspended lamp is derived from this technique; increasing the scale to become macro. The new enlarged reflector or baffles become essential and predominant in the aesthetic.

The hanging cube TOM BOX MA 15 is clad in metal and semi-reflective glass. A high efficiency halogen lamp reveals itself when the light is turned on.

The floor lamp SHADOW STRUCTURE MA 30 is a long column like shape in copper with a hand-applied dark bronze patina. This element contains and contrasts the light reflected off the wall. The thin brass spacers and their shadows create a play of light.

The table lamp TABLE LAMP MA 20 has a light structure finished in black nickel and shading elements in brass with a hand-applied bronze patina. The shade is composed of two folded sheets that have been staggered. This configuration allows the light to reflect and filter around the structure.
