Dorian: A Fusion of Decorative and Architectural Lamps

Combining Functionality and Elegance

Inspired by the interplay between light and reflection, Marcello Colli, the designer behind Dorian lamps, has created a unique fusion of decorative and architectural lighting. With its essential lines and fine lighting characteristics, Dorian brings a sense of class and minimalism to any space.

Dorian is not just a lamp; it is also a mirror. The brass-framed design comes to life through the intense and indirect light it emits. The mirror needs this light to reflect reality, blurring the line between fiction and life. The lamp interacts with users in a pleasant way, allowing for 360-degree rotation of the light source, providing both direct and reflected light.

The Dorian family of lamps includes floor, ceiling, and suspension options. Each lamp is compatible with remote control systems or can be dimmed using a foot control. This versatility allows users to create different lighting scenarios according to their preferences.

The technical specifications of the Dorian lamps vary depending on the model. The Dorian Floor lamp measures 191.6 x 60 cm, while the Dorian PL is 33.6 x 52 cm. The Dorian Suspension comes in two sizes: large (93.4 max 120 x 52 cm) and small (93.4 max 120 x 32 cm).

Constructed with attention to detail, the Dorian lamps feature a polished light satin bronze and matte black silk lacquered frame. The diffuser is made of plexiglass with a "Honeycomb effect" screen printing in a smoked color mirror. The custom LED bulbs provide a warm white light with a high color rendering index (CRI) of over 90. The smaller lamp emits 2,480 lumens, while the larger one emits 7,500 lumens.

Dorian lamps have garnered recognition for their innovative design. In 2020, they were awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures category. This prestigious award celebrates designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving quality of life through art, science, design, and technology.

With its fusion of form and function, Dorian lamps bring a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space. Whether used as a decorative piece or a functional light source, these lamps are sure to make a statement in any interior.
