Tip Top
Interieur exhibition in Kortijk, Belgium, introduced the Tip Top table lamp made of two superimposed domes of glass that are only in contact at their vertex. This unusual construction creates an aerial sensation of equilibrium that embraces the room it sits in. The solid aluminium base completes this quietly luxurious object.
Atmos
Introduced at Interieur exhibition in Kortijk, Belgium, this atmospheric lamp uses condensed water to diffuse light. It consists of an aluminium base holding a light source and a hand blown glass bulb, containing an inexhaustible water reserve. When lit, the water gradually evaporates and starts condensing on the inner walls of the bulb.
Miss Q

The light is also available with a brass base and green leather shade, which dramatically transforms the identity of the lamp.

Ocean Collection

The piece comprises transparent spikes that reach out from a geometric, black shade.
La Lampe
Introduced at Maison et Objet, La Lampe by Maiori is created from sustainable materials - the solar-powered La Lampe collection draws its inspiration from the historical streets of Paris. Back in 1677 - to the lights of the ‘Réverbère’ gas lamps - people flowed into the streets, earning the capital the nickname ‘city of light’.
