A suspension lamp with contemporary lines, Air stands out for its simple and refineddesign. Adam Tihany appreciates Contardi’s sartorial approach, its archi-decorative functional-aesthetic code, the attention to the theme of sustainability, and the company’s extraordinary technical know-how.“Air, as inspiration for the design of a product, is a vast and elusive concept. Invisible, light, and substantial at the same time, air is an absolutely essential element for life on the planet. Air, made of 100% recyclable material, allows the surrounding air to flow freely through its artistic cuts. The light sources evoke the perception of floating both upwards and downwards, reminding us that light is perhaps the only material that escapes the gravitational laws.”– Adam D. Tihany, designer“The definition of ecological lighting does not necessarily relate to a specific product or a solution, but rather represents the set of characteristics that allow the lamp to contribute to reducing the negative effects on the planet, thanks to properties that it must necessarily possess, such as respect for energy efficiency standards, choice of sustainable energy sources, and selection of materials used. This is the preliminary reflection underlying the design of Air, a concept that transcends product categories and solutions, to favour a holistic interpretation of sustainability, in which every aspect concerning the life of the product, from the production process to the packaging, contributes to reducing its impact on the planet.”– Massimo Brigandì, managing director Contardi LightingAir employs an energy-efficient light source, housed in an innovative and totally sustainable material framework. The suspended body of Air is in fact made of Green Cast®, a 100% recycled and recyclable acrylic material. |
