The art of light and design: Mist, Pivot, Utzon and Trace

Lighting is not only a functional element, but it is also one of the fundamental elements in defining the character of an environment. When the lamps and furnishings then merge into the design, spaces are created that convey emotions, beauty and comfort.

In this article we will therefore explore four iconic pieces: Mist and Utzon, pendant lamps by &tradition, Pivot, the luminous floor lamp by Slide, and Trace, a refined showcase by &tradition.

Mist & tradition

The Mist pendant lamp by &tradition is a perfect example of minimalist design that enhances light as a central element. Mist is in fact inspired by the warm and diffused light of morning rays and is made of mouth-blown opal glass, with white painted aluminum details and a textile rope.

This lamp is also available in two sizes, small and large, and can be installed individually or in multiples to create a larger lighting arrangement. Finally, it is ideal for placing in a minimalist living room to create a discreet focal point, above a dining table for uniform, enveloping lighting and in a bedroom, as an elegant alternative to the traditional chandelier.

Pivot, Slide

Pivot by Slide is a floor lamp that stands out for its sculptural design and innovative use of light. Made of recyclable polyethylene by rotational molding, this lamp combines contemporary aesthetics and functionality.

Its diffused light then creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it perfect for domestic and contract environments. This lamp is then characterized by a conical shape of the base and a white polyethylene lampshade, which recalls the oriental style. It is then available in 3 sizes and small, medium and XL and it is possible to choose between the indoor version with IP20 protection degree and the outdoor version with IP55 protection degree.

Finally, it is ideal to place next to a sofa in a modern living room, to add an artistic touch, in a hall or an open space, where its sculptural presence can emerge or as a decorative element in a showroom or design shop.

Utzon by &tradition

The special edition Utzon pendant lamp by &tradition is a tribute to the Danish architect Jørn Utzon, famous for the design of the Sydney Opera House. The shape of the lamp then recalls the lines of a ship, with a design that combines functionality and poetry. The lampshade is then made of lacquered steel and is made up of 4 components formed by a combination of two metal shaping techniques: deep drawing and rotation.

The special edition is also available in glossy black while the standard version in white and brass. Finally, it is ideal for being positioned in a modern kitchen, above a central island, in a study or office, to create targeted and refined lighting, or in a corridor or entrance, for a touch of design that captures attention.

Trace, the &tradition showcase

Trace by &tradition is not just a showcase, but a piece of furniture that combines functionality and beauty. With its oak structure and glass doors, Trace is ideal for displaying valuable objects or personal collections. It is then available in 2 finishes, light oak with brass details and dark oak with bronzed brass details.

In addition to this, you can choose between the single or double door version depending on your needs and spaces. Finally, it is perfect for being placed in a living room, to display books, ceramics or decorative objects, in a dining room, as a modern sideboard for plates and glasses and in an office, to display prizes or prestigious documents.

The harmony between light and furniture

What unites Mist, Pivot, Utzon and Trace is the ability to create harmonious environments through the combination of lighting and design. These elements can be integrated into an interior project that highlights light as the protagonist, playing with materials, colors and shapes to personalize each space.

For example, Mist and Utzon can be paired in a living or dining room to create a dialogue between two types of pendant lighting. Pivot, with its versatility, can act as a focal point in an open space environment, while Trace completes the scene by adding a touch of elegance and practicality.

In conclusion, every space needs light, but the choice of light sources and furnishings can transform an ordinary environment into an extraordinary one. Mist, Pivot, Utzon and Trace represent the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality, offering solutions suitable for multiple contexts.
