She specifically chose the ÉCAL as a partner in this collaboration for being classified as one of the ten best art and design colleges in the world, and the results proved her right. The 5 projects (a total of 8 lamps), selected from 25 proposals, show high design quality in addition to well-crafted appearances that were a pleasant surprise for Luceplan.
The Tangente lamp by Benoît Chastenet De Gery is an homage to geometry, with straight lines set around circular mechanisms like tangents around circles. Easily adjusted in all directions, Tangente is a floor- or office lamp.
Padova by Aurélie Chèvre is a lamp socket overlaid with rubber that can be hung up vertically, horizontally and at a 45-degree angle. The three fixing possibilities are a simple, user-friendly way to change the light's direction. Darius by Mauro Mota Martinho is a folding lamp that uses the contrast between light and heavy, based on a structure made of bent metal bars connected to a turned disk of metal plate.
Abysse by Séléna Sieger was inspired by deep-sea fish: an arm made of spring steel shines a band of suspended light. Thanks to the flexibility of the spring steel, the vertical module can oscillate from side to side depending on the selected function: reading lamp or indirect light. Anguis by Mélanie Zufferey is a jointed lamp that offers intimate direct light when curved, and suffused ambient light when straight, brightening the room all the way up to the ceiling.
