Lodes presents the new Oblò pendant light in collaboration with Paola Navone – OTTO Studio. The luminaire is characterised by its decorative character and the unmistakable signature of Paola Navone. It offers new insights into the use of Pyrex in lighting, which can be modelled like a fluid and malleable material, and draws on Lodes’ experience in the field of versatile and modular lighting solutions.
On the occasion of Milan Design Week 2024, the Diesel Living with Lodes line was expanded and two new products were added to the catalogue: Megaphone and Cross.
Megaphone is a table light that revisits the iconic shape of the Megaphone from the 1950s. The Cross pendant light is characterised by an elegant and essential design that emphasises its simplicity and functionality.
Lodes is launching its first collaboration with Ron Arad, the internationally renowned artist, architect and designer, known for his iconic industrial pieces that have won multiple awards and been exhibited in the world’s most prestigious institutions. The result is Cono di Luce – a lamp that marries Lodes’ technical know-how with Arad’s artistic flair.
Lodes has renewed its collaboration with Norwegian architecture and design studio, Snøhetta, to expand the Volum collection.
Following the launch of the Volum pendant lamp last year, the collection has been revisited to include new ceiling, wall and table lamps, comprising a series of glass lamps that are poetically simple yet complex in its technically driven solution.
Volum pays homage to the Italian tradition of globe-shaped glass lamps and the wider glassblowing process that morphs glass into naturally imperfect shapes. Simultaneously, it exemplifies the modern architectural sensibilities of the Oslo-based designers.
Lodes has teamed up with Needs Studio to launch Tidal, a ring-shaped ceiling lamp that references the tide and celestial bodies.
Tidal’s fluid, oval design mimics the motion of the waves and the change dictated by the tide, with one end wider than the other, depicting high and low tide. Its enduring curves appear differently to viewers depending on their position under the lamp, evoking intrigue and mystery.
During this year’s Milan Design Week from June 7-12, the Italian lighting manufacturer Lodes will open its very first showroom in Brera, presenting its highlights for 2022 and a new table light that will be unveiled exclusively in Milan.
