 ith the Crocco collection, Rome-based company Slamp's Nigel Coates — its creative director since 2007 — plays with light in a visionary, innovative way. Presented at Euroluce 2013, the collection consists of a series of wall lamps with a shiny steel support and a moulded Lentiflex® shade in different hues, bringing softness to a sinuous form.  Coates explains the two interconnected ideas behind Crocco — a short name for crocodile, an animal which the lamp’s twisting contours seek to evoke: “The first was to create a modular lamp that could generate large wall or ceiling compositions. I also wanted to explore a boomerang form showcasing the qualities of this material, Lentiflex®. With a slash along the back, it opens like a mouth.”..... View The official reference >> |
 Salone del Mobile, Milan. The Salone del Mobile 2013 is just over. Slamp, a creative, innovative and visionary firm, presents its new collection at Euroluce. Aria is a lamp designed by Zaha Hadid which combines dramatic architectural features with the intrinsic weightlessness of the materials, creating a sculpture of light and technology that fascinates and enchants observers. The large lamp is formed of a central structure capable of flooding the entire room with light, thanks to six light sources and a spotlight directed downwards. Big dimensions and a delicate black shade for Aria which enhances any space, rendering it luxurious without losing any of its contemporary style. With a similar aspect and function, there is Avia, a dynamic and luminous lamp. Avia captures the gaze of anyone who draws near, offering constantly changing perspectives and reflections, transforming itself from a simple light source into a genuine sculpture to be admired, making any space more suggestive.....

  Renowned architect Zaha Hadid has presented ‘Aria and Avia‘, two sculptural pendant lamps for Italian brand Slamp during the Milan Design Week 2013 at Euroluce. Aria is a lamp which combines dramatic architectural features with the intrinsic weightlessness of the materials, creating a sculpture of light and technology that fascinates and enchants observers. The 50 individual layers of Cristalflex (a techno-polymer patented by Slamp) work together to make Aria seem as if is about to take flight, characterised by complex yet harmonic forms that embrace the light source in a veiled breath.

 Milan 2013: Zaha Hadid presents two monochrome pendant lamps for Italian brand Slamp at the Euroluce. The Aria lamp contains a core of six light sources facing outwards plus a downward-facing spotlight, which shine through 50 sheets of translucent black plastic. Each plastic profile is slightly different so they form a fluid, asymmetric shape when hung radially. Avia has a similar construction, but the plastic sheets are opaque and can be white or black. This second model is available in two small sizes for residential use and two bigger forms for installation in large spaces..... View The official reference >> |
 Tra le più attese novità di Euroluce, la sezione del Salone del Mobile (9-14 aprile 2013) dedicata alle ultime tendenze in materia di illuminazione, c'è anche il nome di culto di Zaha Hadid. Per il brand Slamp l'archistar britannica ha firmato la serie “Avia” e “Aria”, lampadari che coniugano innovazione tecnologica e suggestione scultorea in un oggetto di grande fascino. Come il nome stesso evoca, il materiale conferisce all'oggetto una caratteristica di leggerezza e aerodinamicità unica. Il 'segreto' è nell'uso di 50 strati singoli di cristalflex, un tecnopolimero brevettato da Slamp, organizzati attorno a un corpo centrale dal quale emana luce a 360°, tramite sei fonti luminose e un faretto rivolto verso il basso....
