Lumina
Renowned among architects and interior designers for its slender and unassuming table lamps, pendants and floor lamps in brushed nickel and varnish-coated aluminum, Italian manufacturer Lumina has been producing lighting solutions for residential and commercial properties all over the globe for several decades.
Lumina is the brainchild of founder Tommaso Cimini, a Milanese lighting designer who worked as a technician at Artemide prior to establishing his own firm. In 1975, he created a prototype of a very minimalist table lamp — it comprised little more than an articulated arm, a modest-sized diffuser and a transformer that, instead of being tucked inside the base, was visible to anyone who stopped by Cimini’s workbench to admire his clever fixture.
Cimini’s idea — “lots of light, not much lamp” — was the catalyst for the Daphine table lamp, a deceptively simple design that debuted at the Milan Trade Fair to considerable critical acclaim.
Based on the success of the now-iconic Daphine lamp, Cimini formed Lumina in Sedriano, a town in Milan, in 1980. The new decade marked the start of an albeit brief era of postmodern design, which would yield innovative, unconventional furnishings and decorative objects in Cimini’s native Italy from the likes of the Memphis Group and others. Together with several notable figures in the field of lighting design, including Riccardo Blumer, Yaacov Kaufman, Walter Monici and Emanuele Ricci, Cimini’s firm created a range of sculptural fixtures in appealing contemporary styles.
There were Monici’s Tangram metal and aluminum table lamps, which feature a jointed arm and reflector that rotates 360 degrees. Elsewhere, Kaufman’s Matrix pendant light was made of aluminum and steel with 16 moveable arms fitted with halogen or fluorescent bulbs. In the subsequent years, Lumina opened branches in Switzerland and Germany and collaborated with British architecture and design firm Foster + Partners to create sleek pieces such as the Flo desk lamp, Ilium pendant lamp and EVA glass table lamp.
Cimini died in 1997, leaving Lumina to his son Ettore, who runs the company today. Several Lumina lamps, particularly the Daphine, are held in the collections of museums such as the Brooklyn Museum, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and more, and the company’s fixtures are sold in more than 100 countries all over the world.

- Matrix Crystal Linear Suspension Chandelier by Michael McHaleLocated in Geneve, CHMatrix crystal linear suspension chandelier by Michael McHale. Dimensions: D 23 x W 107 x H 45.5 cm. Materials: steel, optically-pure gem-cut crystal. 8 x candelabra base CA7 bulb, either incandescent or LED All our lamps can be wired according to each country. If sold to the USA it will be wired for the USA for instance. The Matrix Crystal Linear Suspension Chandelier is a figurative shower of light, refraction, and highly-polished crystal. Random chains of high-quality crystal octagons and squares hang from a taut steel cable grid to create the appearance of flowing water. The all-clear crystal is optically pure and of very high quality. This means that, although it is clear, it will pick up a great deal of color from the room, and will also refract rainbows of refracted light across the room. The up-lighting sockets of the Matrix have been capped-off, giving the up-lights the appearance of smoke stacks, like a sleek vessel navigating crystal-clear, turbulent seas...Category
