NEO, the design studio established in 2005 by Rodrigo Vairinhos, is launching a new range of lighting products exclusively at Downtown Design 2015.
Vairinhos is currently working on a ceramic lighting collection called “THE LOVERS” which features 3 ceramic suspension lamps that were inspired by Arab culture. The Portuguese exhibitor elaborates: “The collection was inspired by Arab-Islamic dress codes. If you look clearly at the lamp’s shape you’ll see that it’s reminiscent of a character, personified with a head and body. I interpret White as a male figure, wearing a Kandura, and Black as a female figure, wearing an Abaya.
Take a look at some of the exclusive behind the scenes footage the designer has shared with us:
Other new collections Vairinhos is working on includes “PRINT” which features a collection of 4 printed ceramic suspension lamps;
"ORGANIC" a material fusion lighting fixture made up of cork and ceramic;
and “WHITE NOISE”, a ceramic suspension lamp that comes in an interesting earpod shape.
These fixtures will be presented for the first time ever at Downtown Design. To visit NEO at the fair, register here.
