New: Burned Wood - Japanese-style flamed decorative wood lamp

New: Burned Wood - Japanese-style flamed decorative wood lamp

Fire generally has the property of destroying wood. But the exact opposite is the case if you deliberately combine wood with fire. Like the Yakisugi method, the traditional Japanese art of wood finishing, in which the wood is carbonized and thus preserved for many decades. Flamed wood is also a real eye-catcher, with which the Berlin lighting manufacturer Gantlights is now refining its C series.

There are various methods of preserving wood. Most woods are varnished, varnished, or oiled. The thermal type of preservation, in which the wood is carbonized, is an exceptional variant: the temperature-intensive treatment of the wood surface caramelizes and chars the cellulose, wood cells are closed, and the underlying layers are protected from damaging influences in a natural way.

The Yakisugi method is, therefore, an extraordinarily ecological and economical technique that also develops outstanding aesthetics: carbonized wood impresses with its deep black color and thus offers an exciting contrast to light, minimalist furnishing concepts. Flamed wood is now widely used in architecture but is still relatively new in the product area. The Berlin lighting manufacturer Gantlights has included "Burned Wood" as a new variant in the C series - a lighting series with a filigree design and exciting material contrasts with a unique presence. Flamed wood is one of eight material variants for the lampshade, which can be individually combined with light and dark concrete or oak and walnut as the lamp body. "My designs work a lot with materials that are more familiar from architecture. But a burnt wood surface has so much structure and delicacy that it comes out much better in the product design. More details are recognizable than on a large facade," explains the architect and product designer Stefan Gant. "I find it particularly exciting that the surface appears extremely fragile, but the opposite is the case: the fire treatment makes the wood more resistant to moisture, fungi and UV radiation, for example." The C series can be optically configured extensively: available in lengths of 92, 122 and 186 centimeters, the materials - for example, concrete, oxidized copper, oak or walnut and now newly flamed wood - can be freely combined for the lamp body and lampshade. Cable color and length can also be customized. The pendant lamp also conveniently regulates the light using Touch-Dim: gently touching the steel cables, the light is dimmed or brightened.

New York Penthouse by JetClass Group

A fantastic and unique city-facing apartment in New York, with a spectacular view of the bustling Manhattan district. That was the challenge presented to the Jetclass team by a family of three – capture the bustling Manhattan district. That was the challenge presented to the Jetclass team by a family of three – capture the essence of their lifestyle, bring nature inside and make them feel in a calm, relaxed environment despite the essence of their lifestyle, bring nature inside and make them feel in a calm, relaxed environment despite the outside rush. An entire renovation was required.

The overall apartment plan was a unique layout with common living and dining areas in an open space and a led illuminated platform with a spiral staircase that leads to the upper floor where the bedrooms are. A led illuminated platform with a spiral staircase leads to the upper floor where the bedrooms are. There was a deliberate attempt to create something out of the ordinary both in terms of layout and ultimately finishes, was a deliberate attempt to create something out of the ordinary both in terms of layout and ultimately finishes, producing an eccentric and jaw-dropping final result.

The Jetclass design team used the free-flowing spaces and the exploration of curved and sinuous forms to create a new spatial perspective in this penthouse design. The large oversized windows helped take advantage of this penthouse design's new spatial perspective. The large oversized windows helped to take advantage of the natural lighting that reflects on the decor elements; it provokes different sensations according to the outside the natural lighting that reflects on the decor elements; it provokes different sensations according to the outside light, changing the inside atmosphere’s mood in line with the external environment. The challenge was to light, changing the inside atmosphere’s mood in line with the external environment. The challenge was making this penthouse feel more intimate and near nature. The high ceiling and structural beams were filled to make this penthouse feel more intimate and next to nature. The high ceiling and structural beams were filled with glorious chandeliers, so empty space was not noticed. THE LIVING AREA Inspired by the urban lifestyle, the living room’s voluptuous shapes and sober colors invite moments of dolce far niente. This space results from a mixture of textures, colors, fabrics, and even styles. The geometric and organic shapes present in the furnishings, the harsh lines of the sofa’s outline and the combination between the rug and pouf’s patterns create an almost ethereal aesthetic. The Da Vinci sofa arrangement ensures the division between the dining and living areas. Iconic furniture designs provide a special living character. The Aspen armchair is a statement piece for the most curated interiors. THE DINING AREA In the dining area, the large windows were crucial when defining the environment. Natural light and the possibility of enjoying the glazing view are key factors when spending convivial moments around the new Oslo dining table. Reflective surfaces such as Carrara marble, stainless steel and the back as Carrara marble, stainless steel and the back display serve as an interesting backdrop for the Christie chandelier which orients the eyes toward the main point of the space – the

Trends for 2023: These lights are particularly popular in the new year

Trends for 2023: These lights are particularly popular in the new year

Lights made of natural materials such as wood or concrete and in geometric basic shapes continue to be on-trend. Colors dominated by black and brass, among others. Additionally, decorative wall lights will be in focus in the coming year.

Of course, it is unrealistic to redecorate every room every year, and testing every trend would also be unsustainable. Nevertheless, at least one idea can often be well integrated into the existing home. Light is a particularly beautiful furnishing element that can easily enhance the apartment decoratively and functionally with a few simple steps. Trend #1: Lights made of natural materials In addition to wood, concrete is also a natural product. The mixture of cement, water, and a rock aggregate consisting of sand and gravel is arbitrarily shapeable in a slurry-like state and extremely durable in hardened form. With the C series, Gantlights offers a luminaire that beautifully combines wood and concrete and many other combinations such as oak with carbonized wood. Trend #2: Lights in black tones A black-light body that seemingly absorbs the light envelops the light source, which in turn provides brightness: a black luminaire is an exciting contrast pair that is increasingly finding its way into living rooms. Gantlights also offers all of its luminaires in dark concrete. Particularly decorative are small pendant lights arranged as bundles above the table. Tip #3: Wall lights for atmospheric lighting Indirect accent lighting for a cozy atmosphere is often more known in restaurants or hotels. Now, wall lights are also celebrating their breakthrough in the domestic four walls. Above all, restrained formats such as discreet cubes that emit light upwards and downwards create an elegant feel-good atmosphere. At Gantlights, rectangular and square wall lights are made of light or dark concrete with silver, gold, or copper interior coatings.

GANTlights: Perfect light in the bedroom: 3 tips for the home wellness oasis

GANTlights: Perfect light in the bedroom: 3 tips for the home wellness oasis

About GANTlights



GANTlights was founded in 2012 in Berlin by the architect and product designer Stefan Gant (34) to design individual lamps and products with architectural influence and manufacture locally affiliated workshops in small quantities. The company employs 8 permanent employees and sells its products internationally both through stationary and online retailers.

Stefan Gant has received various awards and nominations for his design objects, including the German Design Award Special and the European Product Design Award. They hang in reception areas of doctors and dentists, in cafés and offices, as well as in a wide variety of apartments – from Paris to Hong Kong. On average, 24 years of life are spent sleeping. Accordingly, a bed with a comfortable mattress receives a lot of attention in furnishing planning. But what about the lighting concept? To start the sleep process, melatonin is needed. The hormone causes fatigue but is only active if the environment is not too bright. An adapted lighting concept is therefore essential for good sleep. But in reality, bedrooms are usually too dim or much too brightly lit. Often too few light sources are responsible, often placed in the wrong place and with the wrong light color. Tip #1: The basic lighting: pendant lights with high ceilings, ceiling spots with low ceilings The basic lighting of a room almost always comes from above. The ceiling lighting distributes the light evenly throughout the room. The height of the luminaire is decisive here. With very high ceilings, a pendant lamp is suitable, which can also illuminate the cabinet at the appropriate height. Several pendant lamps of different heights Tip #2: Accent lighting: light spots for atmosphere, wall or table lamps for reading In order to illuminate individual areas in the bedroom in a targeted manner or to set atmospheric highlights, several luminaires are suitable: floor spots to illuminate a houseplant, for example, wall spots for indirect light and table or wall lamps for reading. This also shows again how important it is to plan the lighting concept carefully: while floor spots in the room can be rearranged at any time, wall

Brokis: Sky Office

Brokis: Sky Office

Following the resounding success of the Virtual Villa and Boutique Hotel, BROKIS is building on its technological advancements and innovative solutions to showcase its award-winning lighting collections in a setting they undoubtedly belong in and form an integral part of – the modern office. In its latest project spanning more than 1,200 m2 of virtual office space, BROKIS presents 16 collections, including the latest additions to its product portfolio, Overlay, Prisma, Double, and Orbis. The goal was to create a timeless office ecosystem with relaxation zones and informal meeting rooms in which employees and visitors feel good. Welcome to our SKY Office in the clouds of Manhattan.

The offices are in a skyscraper in Manhattan, New York, covering an entire upper floor. The environment is airy and pleasant thanks to full-length windows looking out over the cityscape. The windows play an important role, as they remind the observer of the project’s unique venue, with the surrounding buildings outside providing a sense of dynamism rising from the streets below to the thriving, energetic offices. The main aspiration for the project was to create a setting, perhaps suitable for a design or creativity firm, conceived around people with a genuine sense of community working together in the building. The concept provides the perfect backdrop on which to cast the beauty of the BROKIS collections, the decorative lights instilling the space with a distinctive character and creating a warm and inviting office setting. Subtle and peculiar architectural touches combine with attractive appointments and furniture to enable each space to fulfill its special function. With no private offices, the open floorplan featuring an abundance of areas for work, meetings, and discussions speaks to the idea that the best creative results are achieved not through solo efforts but through collaboration between all the participants on a given project. The open space promotes the continuous exchange of ideas and opinions, with the central relaxation zone serving as a junction between the two halves of the Like the other virtual projects before it, the new BROKIS Virtual Office was created by the studios Salaris and Suprema. The overall design was conceived in close collaboration with BROKIS art director Lucie Koldova, who personally oversaw every last detail of the resulting design. And how exactly might one characterize that design? The use of color, although maintained in continuity in the different spaces, plays an important narrative role in the project. The architecture of the building was
