The Tidal collection of lamps, designed by Needs Studio for Lodes, expands with a new suspension solution that complements the existing ceiling version and echoes its fluid design while integrating some evolutions to optimize lighting performance.
The lamp’s main body has been redesigned with a double-shell structure that balances the direct and indirect light to minimise glare, while adding a dynamic twisting effect to the ring’s asymmetrical shape, with one side wider than the other, symbolising the perpetual motion of tides and celestial bodies.
All technical components are hidden within the lamp’s compact, slim body – especially impressive given its light source of over 6,000 lumens – enhancing the object’s aesthetic appeal and striking design, which makes the lamp appear different depending on how it is viewed from below.
Light is projected downwards and upwards simultaneously with a perfect 50-50 balance between direct and indirect light. The dual ignition allows the intensity and projection of the light to be adjusted, expanding the possibilities for customised lighting already present in the two dimmable ceiling versions.
The lamp is suspended by three thin cables connected to the circular ceiling canopy, which was specifically designed for this suspension. Made of matt metal in two finishes, white or black, it has a slightly smaller diameter than the ring, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the space and create the impression of floating within the ceiling – thin and light.
The new Tidal is available in two versions: the standard model with suspension cables approximately 4 metres long, and a rise and fall model equipped with a sophisticated winding mechanism, allowing the suspension cable length to be adjusted up to 1.5 metres from the ceiling by simply lifting or gently pulling the ring downwards. Visually, the two versions are identical because the rise and fall mechanism is fully concealed within the canopy.
Offered in a single size – with a diameter of 60 cm – in addition to the three sizes already available for the ceiling lamp, the suspension version takes up the four matte finishes that characterise the family – white, terra, champagne, and black – making it a versatile addition to a variety of settings, from residential to professional, as well as contract projects. The version with rise and fall mechanism is particularly suited for the F&B and hospitality sector, as it allows for easy and quick adjustment of the lamp’s height depending on the different table configurations, for two or more people.
