The 2 half spheres can be in Copper, Brass, Aluminum or wicker, each one of them providing a distinct style and light shade experience. Orbita's structure is a solid wood tripod guaranteeing a firm standing and a solid pivoting core for the rotational system.

Dream

Dream is a table lamp designed to give soft ambient light. The base is shaped like a pillow and is made of concrete, while the diffuser is a blown glass globe made by hand in Venice. Concrete is often seen as hard, cold and heavy, so the form was modeled to look soft, light and warm. An innovative molding method and a very fine grained concrete give the surface a uniform texture with no visible bubbles. The lamp measures 24 by 24 by 14 centimeters and uses a dimmable G9 bulb, so the warm light can be adjusted.

Waon

Waon is a wall-mounted lighting fixture made with Mino washi, a paper unique to Japan. The design refers to the papermaking process, in which the fibers are shaken in water to spread evenly. The washi is folded and twisted into pleats to form a large curved surface. Thin acrylic plates hold the paper in place, so no visible frame is needed and the paper appears to float. The gap between the paper and the wall also serves as heat dissipation space for the three bulbs, which can be replaced easily. The soft light suits entrances, lobbies and bedrooms.

The shell is made of teak wood, which is dried for stability and wear resistance. Wood conducts heat slowly, so the surface feels warm. The lamp measures 10 by 10 by 20 centimeters.
