Piola














Piola
Design by Christophe Mathieu, 2017
Wrapping the Light
How does one design a light that translates the playfulness of an endlessly spiraling ribbon? The Piola collection is about imitating this fluidity of infinite movement, in search of a balance between the diffusion of light and the creation of shadows.
A central metal column holds more than 5 meters of spiraling, laminated band, enveloping, protecting, and sifting the light for beauty and comfort. Several different types of light coexist here: direct downward light, indirect reflected light, and a light that sneaks between the edges of the spiral, illuminating the fixture itself with a warm, homey glow.
The fixture’s spiraling form breaks with the monotony of cleanly ordered lines, offering a different face from every angle. At the same time, the central column provides a symmetry and solidity that supports and reinforces the visual movement of the screen. The Piola is available in four colors, with the structure and screen always in the same color to lend the fixture cohesion and unity. In this way, by contrast, the quality of the light takes center stage.
Materials:
Laminated band made of PVC and polyester which resolves around a central metallic column lacquered in the same color of the band. Inner structure in polycarbonate to hold the band to the axis.
Shipment is 2-4 days.

The idea behind the Pleat Box is a sophisticated combination between a digitally designed crease in a piece of cloth and a silhouette that is applied to a ceramic base.
The outer part of the lamp is offered in white ceramic, brown, black, terracotta, and grey– the direct result of recycling different enamels. The interior is available in brilliant white enamel, which enhances the luminous light from the lamp, or 24k gold, which generates an extremely warm light.
The Pleat Box collection is now available with an integrated LED technology, which projects indirect light and prevents glare.
Materials:
Ceramic diffuser with the inner part in brilliant white enamel or gold. Ceramic canopy.
Shipment is within 3 weeks.

Like the echo of a drum, the Djembé collection is designed for repetition, creating musical compositions of light. A bell-shaped ceiling fixture with an exposed interior, Djembé is available in a numerous sizes and bright, airy colors that can be used individually or combined to create a brilliant statement piece.
Using a rotomolding technique allowed the designer, Joan Gaspar, to design a fixture with vastly different interiors and exteriors: its outside recalls the texture of a stone, giving off a perception of great weight, emphasized by its volume. In the spacious interior you’ll find a smooth, white space perfect for the reflection of light. Djembé is a lamp designed for use in public spaces that seeks to bring beauty and an unbeatable quality of light.
Materials:
Shade made of bi-injected rotary moulded polyethylene: stone texture on the outer part and smooth satin white on the inner part of the fixture. Diffuser in lacquered grey aluminium.
Shipment is within 8-10 days.

The warmth of the fixture’s ceramics contrasts with the faceted edges of the sphere, making it seem as if it is winking playfully.
Made using a meticulous, traditional design process, the lamps are fired four times —using glazes specifically developed for this collection— and incorporate warm, high-quality materials, such as gold.
Available in white, blue, terracotta, or black ceramic, with brilliant white or gold enamel interiors, the pendant collection’s three sizes — 17, 26 and 41 cm— allow one to create sculptures in the air. The collection is completed with a ceiling model and two wall models, these last incorporating a lacquered metal reflector inside the canopy that transmits multiple reflections and makes this fixture ideal as a decorative element.
Materials:
Ceramic diffuser with the inner part in brilliant white enamel or gold. Ceramic canopy. Fabric electrical cord.
Sizes and lightbulbs:
Scotch Club 17 cm: G9 ECO 20W + G9 LED 2,2W
Scotch Club 26 cm: E27 HSGSA/C/UB 57W + E27 LED Standard 8W + E27 FBA 15W
Scotch Club 41 cm: E27 HSGSA/C/UB 77W + E27 LED Standard 8W + E27 FBA 15W

Through the language of textiles, Joan Gaspar has designed a light of flexible, ductile materials that sifts the light as readily as it moves with the wind. In the Jaima collection, the light is the shade and weaver of emotions.
This new collection takes its name from the Bedouin tents of North Africa, and is inspired by their varied fabrics and forms. The textilene shade is available in three sizes and four different colors, with a blank interior to optimize the quality of the downward light.
Materials:
Shade made of textilene with the inner part always in white. Stainless steel structure in lacquered grey.
Shipment is within 8-10 days.
