Two timeless classics – the fabric shade and the blown glass bubble in which it is immersed – meet in Alma, the first luminous collection designed for Contardi by the multidisciplinary design studio Controvento.
The collection consists of floor, table and various pendant versions. With three sculptural glass shapes – Alma Nova (spherical), Alma Aura (ellipsoidal) and Alma Lume (vertical) – the collection explores versatility through compositions ranging from single installations to striking light compositions.
The three glass shapes – Nova, Aura and Lume – are available in three refined finishes: amber, plum and fumé. The frame is offered in golden nickel, adding further elegance and warmth to the collection.
The collection expresses a perfect harmony between technological performance and creative sensitivity: the innovative lampshade technology integrates LEDs directly into the structure, completely concealing the light source. A technical solution that allows the lampshade to be illuminated without the use of visible bulbs, emphasising the essential design of the object.
Moreover, several elements can be interwoven with each other, creating evocative luminous totems and suspended modular compositions: true light sculptures with a strong scenic impact, capable of being transformed into unique and customisable works.
