Ambientec, founded by Yoshinori Kuno, builds on extensive experience in the field of professional lighting for underwater photography, designed to illuminate the darkest depths of the ocean. Now Ambientec brings that technical know-how into the world of design.
Essential, poetic forms meet advanced and ultra-reliable technology for a new conception of the accent lamp as a work of functional art, something to build a personal and sentimental relationship with. Something to carry with you from room to room, in any situation. And now a proud new addition to the collection comes in the form of TURN+, a contemporary lamp designed by Nao Tamura.
Thanks to the integrated touch sensor and two types of LED segments, a simple gesture is all it takes to adjust the light to one of four different gradations. The exterior is made in aluminum, brass or stainless steel, with a diffuser of solid glass that is carved, honed, and polished to perfection. Rechargeable and portable, it provides up to 500 hours of light. It is also waterproof, meaning it can be used outdoors, on balconies, and in gardens. TURN+ arrives as a counterpart to TURN, a portable desk and workstation lamp previously designed by Nao Tamura for Ambientec: sculpted from a block of metal, TURN is a distinctive presence in the setting of the Supersalone.
A contemporary interpretation of a traditional chamberstick candle holder, Hiroto Yoshizoe's HYMN brings the hypnotic elegance of candlelight into the world of modern light design. A distinctive feature of this evocative portable lamp is its pendulum lens, moved by magnets. A spare, ultra-modern candlestick, HYMN has a base and handle made from anodized aluminum in black or gold, and its finishing touch is a removable, transparent glass cap, which highlights the sparkling interplay of reflections.
The re-edition of Samba-M, the 'glass of light' designed by Shiro Kuramata, is the result of a cultural and technological operation entrusted to Ambientec by the prestigious Tamura Joe Gallery, under the supervision of the Kuramata Design Office to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Japanese designer's death. Ambientec draws on its exceptional technological skills to mass-produce this fascinating objet d'art, springing from the touching and irreverent designs of Shiro Kuramata: a delicate, double-layer glass goblet integrated with state-of-the-art LED technology so it illuminates in shades of red at a gentle touch, evoking the iridescent tones of wine. Like all Ambientec portable lamps, the Samba-M reissue is waterproof, rechargeable and powered by a long-lasting lithium-ion battery.
