Cadaques: Innovative Outdoor Lighting Design

Bringing Mediterranean Charm to Outdoor Spaces

Cadaques is a unique luminaire inspired by the coastal village of the same name, designed by David Morera.

Cadaques is a new type of outdoor lighting that combines functionality with style. Inspired by the charm and warmth of the Mediterranean, this design evokes the enjoyment of outdoor spaces, transporting us to the sunniest months of the year. The designer, David Morera, drew inspiration from beach loungers to create a luminaire that not only illuminates but also adds a touch of elegance to any outdoor setting.

One of the standout features of Cadaques is its shade, which is made of VERTISOL fabric. This special outdoor fabric has been certified by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), guaranteeing its resistance to the most adverse environmental conditions. This means that Cadaques can withstand the harsh elements, making it perfect for coastal outdoor spaces.

Not only is Cadaques aesthetically pleasing, but it also boasts impressive technical specifications. With a protection index of 65 (IP65), it is resistant to both solid and liquid bodies. This makes it suitable for use in various outdoor environments, from gardens to poolside areas. The luminaire is equipped with an LED bulb that provides a warm and inviting light, creating a cozy atmosphere.

The production of Cadaques involved collaboration between two entities. The structure of the luminaire was produced in China, while the textile screen was produced in Spain. Coordinating the assembly of these two components was a challenge, but the end result is a seamless and well-crafted design.

Cadaques has received recognition for its innovative design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures category in 2020. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit outstanding creativity and ingenuity, incorporating best practices in art, science, design, and technology. Cadaques stands out for its technical and creative excellence, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

With its unique blend of style, functionality, and durability, Cadaques is a testament to the power of innovative design in enhancing outdoor spaces. Whether used in residential or commercial settings, this luminaire adds a touch of Mediterranean charm and elegance to any environment.
