Decorative Luminaire Design Competition by TEPTA Lighting


official website of the competition


The fundamental design principle of the lighting collection is the transformation of stone, known for its hardness and weight, into an elegant and minimalist structure. Contrary to its traditional perception, stone has been processed into thin slabs and arranged geometrically, adding lightness and delicacy to the space. This reinterpretation of the material emphasizes volume and balance, while creating a sense of transparency and depth through the interaction of light with the stone.

The stone's dense nature adopts a refined and delicate form, establishing the core aesthetic of the design; thus, the material's natural robustness is preserved while gaining a light and modern expression.

In this context, the collection offers a warmth inspired by nature and geometric minimalism by combining natural stone slabs with a metal frame. Lighting products with various functions, such as pendants, wall sconces, and table lamps, create a balanced and serene atmosphere in the space by softly diffusing light thanks to the stone's elegant structure.

With the rotatable design of the metal frame that carries the stone slabs, users can modify the product's form according to their tastes and the space. This modular and dynamic structure allows users to reposition the stone slabs and frame, creating a different lighting experience.

Under artificial light, the stone's fine texture elegantly transmits light, while in natural light, the combination of stone and metal adds aesthetic richness to the space. Thanks to their modular designs, these products can be personalized with different stone slabs and combinations, providing a unique expression for every environment.

The overall language of the design blends the contrasts of the materials, marrying naturalness with modernity, and enhancing the aesthetic quality of the space in both artificial and natural light.
