Aqua is a perfect combination of artistic values and quality. Our atelier creates art pieces that function as design objects. Our lights are beautifully made and detailed, using the most advanced and sustainable lighting technology. Our upholstery is hand worked and finished, like a haute couture garment. The idea of Aqua started in 1991 during Ayala’s pregnancy with our first daughter. The notion that all life starts in water lead Ayala to create the first collection of functional art pieces, which developed into Ayala’s own visual language and positioned her as a pioneer of organic design....

Silk Lighting The monumental scale of lighting sculptures combined with the exquisite use of silk fabric has become Aqua Creations’ trademark over the years. The result is sophisticated tailored lamps that reveal a new dimension in lighting. All lampshades in the Silk Lighting Collections are made of hand dyed, treated and crushed silk that is resistant to mold and fire. The silk is sculpted over a metal structure. As our fabrics are hand dyed, hues may vary slightly. Coal Dark Red Stone Smoke Flame Silver Rust 6

When lit, the silk colors change with use of warm or cool white bulbs. In order to create a contemporary atmosphere we use warm white, 3000 Kelvin (equivalent to OSRAM 830) bulbs for the colors, Cream, Red, Flame, Rust, Orange and Curry. Cool white, 4000 Kelvin (equivalent to OSRAM 840) bulbs, are recommended for the colors, Redwood, Sand, Shell, Gold, Coal, Dark, Stone, Silver, Smoke and Grass. Orange Sand Gold Curry Redwood Cream Shell Grass 7

Since 2005 Aqua Creations has pioneered the implementation of electronic ballasts with Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI). DALI ballasts have a full dimming range from 1 to 100% allowing it to match the diverse requirements of both commercial and residential projects. Aqua Creations offers several options of DALI ballasts control: 1. Touch dim and standard dimming control 2. Cutting edge, remote battery free wireless control 3. Computerized control Aqua Creations successfully employs the above technologies in all regions providing solutions compatible with local lighting industry standards....

Most of the lighting pieces function with more than one light bulb. Aqua Creations uses compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL) in its silk lighting designs. These bulbs create less heat than incandescent bulbs, are highly efficient and have a lifetime of 10,000 to 12,000 hours. Some lamps require Screw-in Self-Ballasted bulbs and some require plug-in bulbs with an electronic control gear (ECG). For optimal light diffusion use recommended bulbs only. Measurements are provided in centimeters and inches, with +/- 2% tolerance. 9

Protective Silk Coating Special commercial grade resin coating is available upon request. It is highly recommended for pieces intended for public installations or areas of humidity or smoke. This coating does not change the appearance of the silk, but strengthens the texture. Silk Care Instructions For optimal maintenance vacuum the silk frequently (make sure the vacuum cleaner is at low suction and use a clean attachment) and avoid direct sunlight or smoke. To remove stains use upholstery foam cleaner (as these vary from country to country, testing the product on a hidden spot first is recommended)....
