Siro

Siro is a table lamp composed of a hemisphere and a disc. Light is directed inward, so the lamp gives indirect light and creates a soft atmosphere. Seen from the front, Siro appears to consist of two flat shapes in balance. A large diameter is combined with a minimal depth, which is made possible by LED technology. The base is matt black, and the lens shaped reflector is aluminium with a satin bronze or satin gold finish, painted white inside. Components are made by die casting. The lamp is offered in two sizes, and the light can be adjusted with a dimmer.

The design is innovative and elegant at the same time and the name "Lu" derives from "luggage" because of its ease of being resealable and transportable wherever you want (during a move, in a holiday home, etc).

Left Bank

Left Bank is a lighting design for a science and technology park on the Maozhou River in Shenzhen. The scheme combines functional lighting with landscape lighting. Anti-glare buried lamps on the ground floor illuminate the pillars and the ceiling, so the walkway receives soft reflected light. Linear lamps of 3000K are embedded in the handrails of the sky corridor bridge. These linear lamps light the walking surface and keep the night landscape continuous. Lighting scenes for weekdays, weekends and festivals balance visual effect and energy use.
