n the aftermath of Euroluce – the biennial lighting show that takes place during Milan Design Week – acres of column inches are dedicated to the trends and innovations on view there. Then, just as quickly as it arises, the buzz dies down, and the design press move on to the next big thing. For manufacturers, however, the hard work continues. New designs


often need tweaking, developing or even rethinking before the final push to market. This means that 15 months on from Euroluce 2015, pieces seen there are finally reaching stores. And, while their arrival lacks the fanfare that accompanied their unveiling at Euroluce, the fact that these designs have successfully made the journey from concept to completion is something to celebrate. Let’s explore some of the pieces that are now arriving in stores worldwide. Michael Anastassiades’ new agenda-setting designs for Flos offer the first


clue that lighting is working harder than ever. The notion of balance defines his Captain Flint floor-standing lamp, which features a cone that rests delicately on its point on a rotating horizontal metal rod. “I wanted to design a light that had a dual purpose,” Anastassiades


explains. Thus, the cone can be rotated up to become an uplighter or down to become a dedicated reading light. It’s great for small or minimalist living spaces – or both. French designer Inga Sempé also has a flair for dual-purpose design.


In collaboration with Luceplan, she created the Cappuccina lamp, which is composed of a slender metal base and a spherical luminous body in opaline glass that houses an LED module. An unattached fabric shade rests on top, so you can move the shade and orient the light to meet different lighting needs.
