Lodes brings outdoor lighting collection to U.S. designers at this week’s BDNY
NEW YORK – At this week’s Boutique Design New York (BDNY) show, Italian lighting company Lodes presented its Outdoor collection to a U.S. audience.
The collection brought the brand’s core design principles to exterior spaces with solutions crafted to illuminate, define and enhance the environment. Among the new Lodes products on display was Kinno, an award-winning design by Patrick Norguet.
Inspired by the organic shape of a mushroom, Norguet said he crafted Kinno to blend seamlessly into natural landscaping, gardens and architectural outdoor spaces. The cap features radial slats or louvers on the underside that soften and diffuse the light gently while creating a play of solids and voids. The lighting comes with either a straight or a curved stem.
The company’s participation in BDNY marks a new step in its international development and an opportunity to connect with the U.S. community of architects, interior designers and hospitality professionals, in a market where outdoor design is playing an increasingly important role.
“Bringing our collection to BDNY means engaging with an international audience of designers who are particularly attentive to the evolution of hospitality spaces,” said Massimiliano Tosetto, Lodes managing director. “It is an ideal setting to show how lighting and furnishings can work together to shape new outdoor environments.”
With a history that began in Venice in 1950, Lodes approaches lighting through a combination of research, technical precision and design.
