Anima Landscape Lighting

Alexey Danilin Landscape Lighting Lighting Saturday, 3 October 2026

Anima

Anima is an outdoor lamp designed for garden and landscape lighting. The main components are made of premium acrylic glass, which withstands temperature changes and physical impacts. Two decorative elements with a water pattern interact with integrated LED lights to create a caustic effect that recalls natural water. LEDs placed above and beside the acrylic parts give warm, diffused light directed upward and downward. The precision machined metal body houses an LED module with specialized optics. The lamp is 750 mm high and 170 mm wide.

Misterio Luminaires

Alexey Danilin Luminaires Lighting Friday, 2 October 2026

Misterio

Misterio is a lighting collection of pendant lamps and wall lamps inspired by the northern lights. The main elements are made of cast glass with a multicolor effect and are shaped like waves frozen in glass. The glass creates colored highlights that form organic patterns on nearby surfaces. A black metal base in the form of a ring holds an LED strip covered with a matte diffuser. The ring is directed inward, so the lighting is soft and the beauty of the glass is emphasized. The collection can be used for main lighting, task lighting or accent lighting.

Be Water Lamp

Fernando Correa Lamp Lighting Thursday, 1 October 2026

Be Water

Be Water is a linear, modular and recessed kinetic LED lamp for decorative wall washing. The lamp is installed inside a light cove or behind furniture, so only the moving light is visible. Light is refracted through a handmade glass cylinder that rotates on its axis and projects fluctuating flares onto the wall. The effect recalls sunlight reflected on the surface of moving water. One motor can drive from one to six modules. Optional filters create the colour variants Be Fire, Be Air and Be Earth. Aluminium, borosilicate glass and plexiglass are used, and each piece is made in Italy.

Sound Wave Pendant Lamp

Alexey Danilin Pendant Lamp Lighting Wednesday, 30 September 2026

Sound Wave

Sound Wave is a pendant lamp inspired by the visual form of a musical composition. The melody of Prelude No. 3, Wind on the Plain by Claude Debussy was converted into an image of a sound wave with a special program, and the resulting curve became the basis for the silhouette of the lamp. The shape was then adjusted for better light properties and for mass production. Matte white glass is placed over a metal structure, and a decorative glass element in blue, gold, black or gray is set on top, so visible fasteners are avoided. The wire height can be changed from 100 to 3000 mm.

Halftone is a wall light with a pattern etched on translucent acrylic, which forms a ring of light while the wall stays visible. Orb is a wall light with an illuminated sphere and an adjustable magnifying mirror that moves around it, suited to use beside a bathroom mirror.
