Catellani & Smith Luna
Lighting effects with fire & flame
The special look as well as the light emitted by the luminaires of the
Luna range created by
Catellani & Smith probably leave nobody unaffected. Luna lights are not equipped with incandescent, halogen or LED lamps – the light source used is a tea light. This tea light combined with a gold-plated or a silver-plated, finely textured reflector plate not only provides for an
enchanting mood lighting in many rooms. At the same time, these charming light sources serve as expressive design objects due to their unique appearance and they add the finishing touch to its surrounding area.
Catellani & Smith Luna luminaires impressively embody the philosophy of the company founder and chief designer
Enzo Catellani, whose creations are mostly based on geometric forms. This also applies to his
Luna creations which are based on the circle shape. At the same time, these lights "operated" with candles are an
homage to ancient traditions, when fire had to be produced without any electricity. Thus, each
Luna exudes a touch of a hearth fire known from ancient times with no electricity.
Choose the
Luna version according to the place that should be treated with this magical flickering light – various versions for the wall and the table or the sideboard or the commode are available. The
Catellani & Smith Luna Parete is designed for wall mounting. Its natural light that is created by reflections on the metal reflector plate is particularly popular in the living room. However, a
Catellani & Smith Luna can also be used to provide charismatic mood lighting and thus create a pleasant ambience in the bedroom, the dining room and the hall.
Here, the golden version emits a particularly warm and welcoming light. Furthermore, it brings up
captivating associations of the sun, which is a symbol for life-giving power and thus has fascinated the people for millennia. The viewers are also not able to keep their eyes off the silver-plated version of the
Luna Parete, whose lighting effect can be described as unobtrusively discreet. The two versions both produce an unparalleled lighting effect due to the reflection of the flickering flames and thereby are reminiscent of the beauty of ancient light sources.
Thus, this also applies to the
Catellani & Smith Luna Tavolo, which can be used in various rooms. It creates a
"fiery" lighting mood on the sideboard or a commode, however, it can also be used to provide a cosy light on a dining table. Additionally, it may ennoble a side table or a coffee table where it provides for an enchanting mood light to serve as an irresistible eye-catcher.
By the way, the
Catellani & Smith Luna is also available with electric light: the
Luna 220, the
Luna Piena Soffitto and the gigantic
Luna Piena Parete also stand for a magic lighting effect combined with an unparalleled design. Halogen lamps are used here that stand out due to the warm light emitted and the excellent colour rendering of
Ra = 100.
