138 LIGHT + TECH
PHASE LIGHT Resident
Following a collaboration that began in 2022, New Zealand company Resident has recently released the Phase lighting collection by Los Angeles-based Estudio Persona. The two Uruguayan designers, Emiliana Gonzalez and Jessie Young, characterise their work as having ‘bold silhouettes, neutral tones and raw materials free of embellishment’. The range features a wall sconce, as well as large and small pendants, and a
table light. Inspired by the phases of the moon, the luminaires are quarter circles (or ‘half moon’ for the large pendant) with a dark bronze body and warm LED-lit acrylic diffuser with a subtle linen-textured appearance.
The lumianires, handmade in New Zealand, can be arranged in multiples, offering numerous visual options. The source is a 3W LED (2700K, CRI 95).

WALL LAMP
PERDUE LAMP Lumina
At first sight this light is perhaps a bit underwhelming until you realise how it works and how cleverly the concept is used for a whole range of options. It’s portable and rechargeable, and unusual for not being just a table lamp, generally the default option, but a whole system that includes wall lamps and pendants. Designed by Riccardo Marcuzzo, the idea is to transform the way we experience, use and consider light, with ‘an almost infinite variety of applications and use’. Perdue consists of an ogival-shaped lighting body – like the nose of a bullet –
Tarek Dada Wall Lamp, a lighting fixture designed by Beirut-based designer Tarek Dada, lies somewhere between art and function. It uses two distinct light sources. The first is an LED strip light that sits discreetly in the main metallic piece, casting a soft glow on the triangular plane and allowing the wall itself to become part of the piece as light interacts with different surfaces. The second is an LED profile, concealed within a sandblasted plexiglass tube, which diffuses the light gently throughout the space, casting reflections on to its surroundings and blending the lamp into the living space.
inside which is placed a sensor that detects a magnetic field. This turns the light on when the lamp comes into contact with its accessories (for wall, table or pendant) or with any metal body.
The light intensity can be adjusted with a simple tap on the diffuser: once will turn the lamp on at 100% power, tapping a second time dims it to 30%, a third time turns the light off. The light is warm white and high quality (3000K, CRI 90) and finishes are matt black, matt white, metallic silver, metallic champagne and metallic bronze.

The construction involves a steel
sheet folded into an L-shape and manually etched to achieve the textured surface of the fitting. This primary piece attaches to the wall with a concealed metallic frame and supports all the other elements. A 5mm stainless steel sheet is cut into a triangular plane. Its surface is polished to a mirror-like finish and then a lacquer with selected pigments is applied to create a gradient of colours. This plane is then discreetly attached to the main metallic piece at an angle.
The intricate manipulation of light and colour also involves perforating a sheet of brushed stainless steel to create a porous surface, and oxidising a piece of brass, which is then lightly polished to produce a reflective finish.
