Axia lighting by Martinelli Venezia for Lodes
Dezeen Showroom: design studio Martinelli Venezia has created a modern chandelier where form follows function for Italian brand Lodes.
"With Axia, we wanted to engage with that tradition, asking ourselves what our voice could bring today," said Carolina Martinelli and Vittorio Venezia. "We believe the answer lies in an essential gesture: removing the wire."
This impulse gave rise to Axia's form, which features light metal branches that flow in loops from a strong central rod, illuminating opaline diffusers suspended along each orbit.
"When light is no longer bound to a cable but flows within the structure itself, the lamp changes its nature," Martinelli and Venezia continued. "This gave rise to an electrified and flexible system in which energy travels through the body like invisible sap."
The Axia lamp is intended for spacious areas where it can create a striking impression, from residential living rooms and dining rooms to public lounges and lobbies.
It is available in two finishes: Black Chrome, which emphasises the contemporary minimalist character of the design, or Glossy Bronze, which has more of a warm, decorative quality.
