kissimu 3©2007 | forerunner | designer luminaire | power-LED technology

The «kissimu 3©2007»table lamp goes beyond the preconceived idea of a table lamp. Its fluid design and shape give a sense of “taking off” with a feeling of a never ending journey. Solid State Lighting LED technology, electronics combined with a pure structure, together with a tinge of fantasy, positions «kissimu3 »©2007 in the avant-garde of high power LED designer lamps. In fact its conception and design dates back to 2007. It can surely satisfy the whims of any figure.  Vivienne Westwood once said: "…I would like someone to design some truly innovative lights, because I believe that designing beautiful, functional and, above all, new lighting is the hardest thing to do”. Very true.
« kissimu 3©2007» finds itself comfortable in a very linear and zen-like environment. It is a table lamp that harmonises with an absolute positive feng-shui.
« kissimu 3©2007»is has a touch-on/off electronic device incorporated at its base.

La lampada «kissimu 3©2007» di Aliki Polydor, liki liki design, va oltre la stabilità che deriva usualmente dall’idea di lampade da tavolo. La sua forma fluida e il suo disegno ironico evocano al contempo un “taking off”, con un riferimento alla costante mutevolezza della vita e a la sua evanescenza. Tecnologia innovativa a LED, elettronica per eccellenza, purezza della struttura e un pizzico di stravaganza, rendono «Kissimu 3©2007» una lampada d’avanguardia che anticipa le tendenze, senza tuttavia trasgredire. Ideale per un ambiente fashion alla Vivienne Westwood. Per una nuova dimensione creativa, « Kissimu 3©2007» di Aliki Polydor, oltrepassa la funzione di corpo illuminante di alta tecnologia per divenire oggetto suggestivo e decorativo. Adatta anche per la zona notte o lo studio.

liki liki LED lighting design | strength of an evolving lighting design


The potentials of an evolving lighting design | liki liki LED lighting design 


The strength of a good project lies in a flowing cycle away from pre-packaged solutions,whilst dealing with constant renewed curiosity and critical spirit. Very often as designers or architects, once we have established our own style, we spontaneously but regretfully, tend to apply it  to most situations or contexts.

The new technology of high-power LEDs represents a revolution in lighting and a challenge for those who are struggling with the choice of lighting systems.
At the same time, it pushes further the opportunity to change the approach to the design issue. It therefore becomes necessary to keep track of this continuous evolution and experiment around this magnificent technology.  It can no more be qualified as simple lighting but  lighting electronics, applications that go far beyond wiring and switching within the realm of lighting and electricity.

Designing Lighting and fitting it in a project is not anymore a matter of installing the usual fixtures and lamps and choosing them for their design, or rather for the "reputation" of their designers or their brand, but a light where the essence is  « light itself » and its quality. So that a given space remains in total harmony and interaction within its architecture and spirit.
