FROM CLASSIC TO TRENDY
THE ALLROUNDERSWhen you ask an interior designer about his favourite accessory,
the answer will surely be: “Lights. Simply because they give the room its atmosphere.” And not only with their different lighting types.
Modern LEDs are great when it comes to setting a subtle mood light, but can also be multifunctional work light and decorative
it-piece at the same time.
What’s great about it: Wever & Ducré luminaires are available in so many different sizes, styles and colours and it’s so easy to achieve different interior looks. The industrial style inspired by old factories is all the rage
right now – and WIRO will give your loft a hip, modern vibe. The 60s inspired interior design trend is best accentuated with design classics from the
J.J.W. collection. Wanna know what else is trending right now? Keep on reading.

Why does this room look so cosy? Well, first of all because of the fireplace. But our hanging luminaire BISHOP is adding to the feel as well – with its simple concrete look and carbon filament lamp that creates a soft candle light effect. This is the new romance.

And with WIRO, Bernd Steinhuber has accomplished exactly that. What inspires the Austrian designer the most? Plainly said: Everything. Therefore, his little sketchbook is his constant companion. “Ideas are fl eeting,” he says, “and they don’t stick to offi ce hours.” That’s an attitude we truly admire. After all, the most beautiful things are often found when you are not looking for them. So keep your eyes open …

You don‘t always have to make a big entrance to stand out - sometimes understatement is all the statement you need. Small recessed luminaires or surface mounted lights shining from the ceiling in gold, silver, copper or white help you to highlight the beauty of simplicity. Our favourite: The versatile SOLID.

That’s why Anastasia Su and Martin Lesjak are completely focused on “transferring the creative energy of a brand to the product itself”. An approach that is reflected in the ROCK collection, exclusively developed by the Austrian designer team for Wever & Ducré. Made from natural stone veneer with varying degrees of transparency, every luminaire is completely unique.
A material perfectly fitting in with their philosophy, by the way. In their design studio which was founded in 2013, they work with structures and surfaces that are decidedly distinctive and full of character.

What makes ROCK so special? Well, its light cast in stone, a unique decorative element and statement piece at the same time. Plus: It comes in various modular sizes and proportions, providing countless possibilities to design and use it. The most extraordinary feature of this luminaire is its shade, consisting of ultra thin veneer layers made of natural shale, available in three diff erent colours. Sticks and stones may be known to break bones, but in this case they merge into unique masterpieces that rock any interior.
Outstanding.What makes ROCK so special? Well, its light cast in stone, a unique decorative element and statement piece at the same time. Plus: It comes in various modular sizes and

With VENN, the designers Serge & Robert Cornelissen are taking the BEBOW collection to a whole new level. Or in other words: Three in one equals more – and as much as you want. VENN represents design, that not only catches people’s attention, but is also functional. Multifunctional. It provides either indirect lighting or direct and indirect lighting in one. The most intriguing thing about VENN - it‘s a shapeshifter: Several luminaires can be combined with one another. Placed next to each other or overlapping, mounted on the wall or ceiling, or in a suspended arrangement – how you aligne them and how many you combine is entirely up to you. VENNtastic, right?
The geometry of light.

“With this project, we have definitely reinvented ourselves,” says Pavel Yanev. He is referring to a residential project in Sofia, that inspired him and his team
to put their primary focus on light. “We wanted every room to have its very own identity and therefore paid very close attention to its effect on people.” In this context,
it was very important to the architect for the lighting of the house to adapt to the people living in it. Not only in its functionality, but also in terms of design. “I think that light somehow reflects one’s personality. Some are very clear
and direct, others are more reserved,” he explains, “and that’s what you should always consider as an architect.”
An approach Yanev has perfectly incorporated into this simplistic and modern project.

“ Light is a harmonious combining element – indoors and outdoors.”
SPADO ARCHITECTS
AFTER DARK Artificial light is just as important as natural light for Sebastian Horvath of the team at
spado architects. For them, light is always the first thing to consider when starting a project: “During the design phase, it’s all about natural light. However, artificial light is also an essential
element when it comes to creating and connecting different zones”, explains Horvath.
In this project, the team used many different light sources that are switch- and adjustable in the living spaces. For the outdoor area, they chose subtle LED luminaires that not only accentuate the
house itself, but also highlight elements such as prominent trees and sculptures in the garden.
“This way, the interior and exterior are connected in an excitingly new way,” says Horvath, who was the project manager responsible. And spado architects have proven again that
they stay true to their style – as can be seen in this modern residential project.

“ Indirect light creates atmosphere.”

HALO ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING
THE INDIRECT WAY “Connecting an existing building with new architectural elements is always a very exciting task,” says Dimitris Kouvalis of HALO Architectural Lighting. His passion for challenging and exciting
projects is also the reason why he kept his cool when asked to install a new pool in the garden of a greek residential building – just on the basis of a sketch.
“That was a challenge for sure. So in the planning phase, I focused on the existing shapes and structures, but also on the ideas of the client, of course.”
The result of Kouvalis’ work: A subtle connection between the old and the new, enhanced only by indirect lighting. “It’s just the best way to create a certain vibe and atmosphere.
That’s why I consider indirect lighting as a vital part of exterior design.”

Why does MAP feel so comfortable around the pool? Because Wever & Ducré outdoor luminaires with an IP of 67 will stay sealed, even when facing ponds or dust. Plus: They also look pretty cool, as Dimitris Kouvalis put it, and have nice shapes to show off.
