Eva/Eve LED Table Lamp by Lumina
Design by Foster and Partners
EVA
Designed by Foster + Partners, Eva is a free-standing lamp that meets the need for an indirect light that’s easy to interact with. It can be placed in the middle of a round dining table, for example.
The idea was to create a cone of light, a subtle yet alluring flux similar to that of a candle, attractive and also useful.
Eva has a turned aluminium base housing the electronic components, the LED and the optics, and a glass cylinder closed at the top by a conical diffuser.
The light flux is projected by way of a holographic filter, a small primary lens and a large secondary lens onto the upper opaline cone, while the LED source remains hidden.
Eva also has a tactile dimension: thanks to an encoder system (an infrared sensor to detect rotation) the intensity of the light can be precisely controlled by manually operating the ring on its base.
Eva uses an 18W high-performance LED and comes in two finishes: anodized black and anodized brass.
EVE
From the experience of Eva, comes Eve, a stand lamp similar to its big sister, but more contained in size and with a reduced light output.
Eve is a lamp with indirect light: through a PMMA lens, the high-performance 5W Led Cob performance housed in the base concentrates its light on the upper conical reflector, limiting direct glare.
Eve’s body consists of a glass cylinder that protects the internal optics from dust and scratches, closed at the top by a specially designed reflector. The assembly of the cylinder and the frames is done in-house by robotic gluing.
Thanks to a touch dimmer mechanism, active on every point of the base ring, it is possible to adjust the light with the simple touch of a finger: the first turns the lamp on, the second reduces its its output to a minimum, the third turns it off.
