Directly from Euroluce to the Salone del Mobile.Milano 2025, the latest innovations in the lighting design universe surprise with unexpected shapes, revolutionary ideas, new finishes, bright colors and minimalist and elegant solutions.
Total innovation, functional evolution or reinterpretation of historical designs in a contemporary key, keeping the original concept intact but enriching it with updated solutions, in line with current needs: different paths, united by a single objective, giving life to advanced projects. In the “lighting” theme, efficiency is all-round: technical, aesthetic and environmental. No longer simple lamps, but real lighting systems, bold and scenographic, capable of surprising without giving up their main function.
1 – ZEN CHANDELIER
Drape Light by Moooi is a pendant lamp that combines minimalist geometric structure with the organic flow of 3D knitted polyester drape, while resting on two glass tubes that encapsulate LED lights, producing a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow. Simple and sophisticated, it is capable of creating a warm atmosphere.

Birba, the lively table lamp designed by Atelier Biagetti for Pet Therapy, is a cat in resin with marble dust playing with a luminous glass sphere: a glass LED lamp. Friendly and unconventional, she conquers with her delicate poetry.

3 – GARDEN OF DREAMS
The new collection of outdoor lamps Bloom designed by DAAA Haus for Contardi is inspired by the delicacy of the calla; it is designed to be used in groups, becoming an integral part of the landscape. The “stem”, in painted aluminum, is inserted into the ground, while the “petals” in semi-transparent silicone allow the light to filter through gently. The collection features advanced lighting technology, certified IP65, making it perfect for resisting the most extreme weather conditions.

4 – ALL-IN-ONE COMFORT
The historic Mezzaluna lamp by Bruno Gecchelin is released by DCWéditions in the LED version, even more powerful and energy efficient. The convenience of this floor lamp, with a solid marble base, lies in the possibility of adjusting and directing the light as desired. Furthermore, it can also be managed in height, thanks to the telescopic arm.

6 – TASTE AND SUSTAINABILITY
PET Lamp debuts at Euroluce, at the Salone del Mobile, in a dialogue between weaving, light and design. It is an integrated and global project based on the reuse of PET plastic bottles, which meets the highest requirements of transparency and social and environmental responsibility. The result? Inclusive, diverse and unique products, because each lamp is handmade by a craftsman who leaves his own personal mark.

7 – NOT A SIMPLE LIGHT
Set is the new lighting system by Davide Groppi inspired by photographers’ equipment. It is composed of a base, a modular stem, a moving and orientable projector that adapts to every need. To direct light with a gesture and precisely define perspectives and volumes. Diffusers, reflectors, filters, louvres and snoots are the accessories that allow you to sculpt the light, to shape it, to switch from direct and incisive lighting to soft and diffused light. A small trick ensures the constant tension of the thin power cable, transformed into a suspended line, a graphic sign in space that disappears and, at the same time, becomes part of the project.

8 – MODULAR SYSTEM
BIMU is the new modular linear LED lighting system by B.lux that allows installation at different heights and inclinations. Its 360° rotation mechanism allows you to direct the light in any direction. The lamp is based on linear elements of 1000, 1500 and 2000 mm in length and 20 mm in diameter, which are connected to each other using a quick-connect jack system.

9 – TOTEM OF LIGHT
KD28 by Joe Colombo comes back to life as part of Kartell‘s lighting proposals. A light from 1967 that maintains the original innovative spirit but adapts to contemporary needs, using recycled materials and a revisitation of the light cap which becomes satin. The electric wire is covered in fabric of the same color as the base. Furthermore, it is possible to stack several lamps and create a “totem” of light.
