Contemporary Italian lighting brand Lodes presents its new standing lamp, Croma, which is the latest product to come out of the ongoing collaboration with Luca Nichetto. Taking its name from the Italian word for a ‘quaver’ or ‘eighth’, the design reflects the dynamism of the musical note in its slender frame, which dispels washes of light upwards across the wall and ceiling. Croma is the fourth lamp designed by Luca Nichetto for Lodes, following the launches of Jefferson, the Bohemian crystal suspension presented at Euroluce 2019, Easy Peasy, the portable table lamp, and more recently, the Aile wall lamp.
For Croma, Luca Nichetto and Lodes re-examined the design of the classic floor lamp, which typically opens out at the top rather than the base. By literally turning the frame on its head, Lodes created an elegant yet striking product that embodies Lodes’ ethos – considered design with powerful and personalised lighting that prioritises the end-user. This new product is suitable for a variety of environments, including residential, hotel and hospitality. Despite its slim frame, the light output is powerful and casts a wide ray of light. Reaching 186cm in total, the lamp features a conical base that provides stability, along with a sleek, tall extension that almost disappears as it diffuses a soft rising glow.
In the typical Lodes style, the design prioritises the user’s relationship with its functional touchpoints. Challenging the more traditional choice for most standing lamps, Nichetto decided against a floor power switch. Instead, Croma features a ring positioned halfway up the stem which allows the user to switch the LED module on and off, and to utilise its dim to warm function, which ranges from 2200 to 3200 kelvin.
It is available in four unique finishes. The metallic ombré effects, which are new colourways for Lodes, fade from green to black and from bronze to nickel. The gradient of these finishes references the way the light can radiate upwards against a wall. The two matte shades, in solid white and black, have a texturised finish that would be well suited to any residential and commercial setting. "Croma is the result of both my studio’s continued collaboration with Lodes and our shared approach to experience and function. We carefully consider all the ways our projects might be used, shaping their production, practicality and functionality to ensure the enjoyment of the user," concludes Luca Nichetto.
