• Passion for absolute quality in materials and finishing
• High quality, innovative and detailed materials and finishing
• Intelligent & refined controls

Some highlights of the upcoming product launches:

Wika
Cylindrical drums of light in pairs or trios with shiny white shades, Wika pendants, wall- and table lamps beat a constant rhythm of light. Wika is delivered with the latest energy saving halogen light sources (Philips EcoHalo) which deliver an energy saving of 33%. Wika where organic design meets green thoughts.

Hava
Round, flat spot heads in a quirky rectangular surround suspended from a base that seems to float on the ceiling. Equipped with the latest PowerLED technology Hava gives spotlighting a whole new twist.

Skive
Outsize hemispheres in white with a silver lining, or black with gold inside, Skive epitomises the cool simplicity of chic conceptual design. Huge oversized sculptural pendants but with a reduced energy consumption: Skive is delivered with 3 Philips EcoClassic 70W lamps, which generate a high light output comparable to three 100W incandescent bulbs.

Maze
Purity of form in a pendant, on the floor or on the table. Maze is finished in black with chrome detailing and double-layered, fabric shade for unusual, appealing lighting effects. The floor lamp is adjustable in height too. Practically amazing: modern chic with a green touch. Maze is delivered with 4 Philips EcoClassic lamps.

For the 2009 range prices start at £60- £850, the overall collection is positioned between £45 and £1200
