Stefano Colli, architect  Light is everything in architecture: it is form, texture, color. Without light, there is no architecture. Light generates feelings and emotions. Uniform, general lighting flattens everything, nullifies the values of the space and generates moods that we would rather avoid. Well-articulated lighting spurs emotions, surprises… Light is rhythm.

FollowMe by Inma Bermúdez Inma Bermúdez, industrial designer  My favorite kind of light is candlelight, with its flickering flames. It is a living light with the movement of lights and shadows. A light linked to firelight, a fire that hypnotizes, a light that relaxes.

Ginger by Joan Gaspar Joan Gaspar, industrial designer  I like a lamp to make beautiful light. I like for it to make you feel good, both the light that it projects and the luminous, self-lit object itself. I am interested in it gradually revealing new things every time you look, for it to have many different interpretations. I try not to design objects that are tiresome and that I forget after a bit.

Fabien Dumas, industrial designer  My approach to design and life in general has taken an interesting and quite exciting direction in the past years. Funnily, the older I become, the younger I feel, but without the drama of youth. :) What a blast!

Stefano Colli  I’ve been told the lighting is dim in my home, but I like dimness because later it allows me to appreciate the bright areas. A good light is the kind that is near a place that is not very well-lit; if you eat when you’re hungry it’s so much better! I usually work with good light on my desk, but wrapped in a dark place, which helps me to concentrate and conveys tranquility. Pleat Box by Xavier Mañosa & Mashallah

Ginger by Joan Gaspar Joan Gaspar  Designing is like a job whose process consists of choosing the best of many options. Designing with no limits does not exist. It would be extremely boring if it did exist, because limits are part of the game.

Pressed wood diffuser and base of 4 mm in natural oak or wenge. Injected aluminum dissipater and lacquered black matte metal stem. In the standing and wall versions, the movable arm is made of carbon fiber lacquered in black matte. Ginger Wood is an old ally of cozy lighting. It is a material that is hard to mold, a challenge that the Ginger collection neatly resolves. The combination of sheets of wood and paper pressed together under high pressure achieves a laminate that appears almost entirely flat, which discreetly lights up spaces with indirect light. This year, the Ginger collection is...

With an original system to orient and suspend it, the Ginger lampshade hangs from a structure that replaces the ceiling. The system allows the lamp slide forward and backward and to be folded to either size. Also, the carbon fiber arm has two possible movements depending on the pre-established position of the pivot joint. It is altogether striking, spectacular yet contained. It comes in two sizes to fit the needs of different spaces.

This wall version adds a simple folding structure to the lampshade, turning it into the perfect lamp for the head of a bed, to illuminate a reading corner or even to be used as an occasional lamp over a table.

Metal structure lacquered in black. Lacquered aluminum lampshades adjustable 360º in any direction. On the lower part, an opal methacrylate diffuser filters the light. Each lampshade can be personalized in black, white, orange, grey brown, green, sand and a new color: blue. The colorful, sonorous Tam Tam, already so multifunctional, now comes in a new linear version that retains its fun, dynamic roots. The new standing and pendant models have been simplified with the addition of a hanging pole to which colored lampshades are attached that can be oriented in any direction and come in a variety...

Shade in rotary moulded polyethylene. Methacrylate opal diffuser. Metal structure lacquered in black matte. In the wall version, a steel tensor is included. Soho The striking, industrial shapes in the Soho collection are reminiscent of the lamps that were traditionally used in markets and taverns, but they contrast through the use of thoroughly contemporary materials and textures. This time, the Soho comes in two exterior versions – wall and ceiling – with a tube structure that allows the product to be used in a more architectural way to light up façades or outdoor spaces. White (RAL 9003) Stone...

Soho C Fixed Stem Joan Gaspar  A poorly lit space can really affect me emotionally. To me, the light at home has to vary according to the space: light for eating, light for reading, light for lazing on the sofa… Light area by area to create pleasant atmospheres.

Blown, pressed glass diffuser attached to a grey polycarbonate structure. Shades available in numerous colors. Ceiling rose and metal support lacquered in grey. Santorini A Fixed Stem Santorini Inspired by the lanterns found on fishing boats, this collection of outdoor customizable lamps allows you to create multiple compositions. Users can choose how many shades to place on the diffuser, along with their order, position and direction. This interplay of combinations yields a rich array of direct or reflected light. The Santorini collection has been expanded with the addition of two ceiling and...

Ginger by Joan Gaspar Joan Gaspar  LED has been a real revolution in the world of lighting, and now there are far fewer limitations, so everything is more creative. The use of LED technology has actually reinvented lamps. Instead of losing their value by being reduced to mere forms, their value is actually higher as their functions are expanding. Now anything is possible.
