Eva from Lumina

Designed by Foster + Partners, Eva is a free-standing lamp that meets the need for an indirect light that’s easy to interact with. It can be placed in the middle of a round dining table, for example.

The idea was to create a cone of light, a subtle yet alluring flux similar to that of a candle, attractive and also useful. Eva has a turned aluminium base housing the electronic components, the LED and the optics, and a glass cylinder closed at the top by a conical diffuser.

The light flux is projected by way of a holographic filter, a small primary lens and a large secondary lens onto the upper opaline cone, while the LED source remains hidden.

Eva also has a tactile dimension: thanks to an encoder system (an infrared sensor to detect rotation) the intensity of the light can be precisely controlled by manually operating the ring on its base.

Eva uses an 18W high-performance LED and comes in two finishes: anodized black and anodized brass.
