Paralela by Axolight: Functional, Luminous, Decorative

Paralela by Axolight is the new modular lighting system designed by the Spanish firm Nahtrang. This lighting system was created to give light a shape, so that it becomes an authentic decorative element that also happens to be functional. This is a large and complete product family that includes horizontal and vertical pendant elements, a table lamp, a floor lamp, and wall sconces in different sizes and four colours: desert white, greige, earth red, and intense black.

The concept of the whole lamp, with luminous cylinders in borosilicate glass connected together with metal elements, can develop neatly as gravity gives it a natural shape, creating a visual dialogue that becomes a symphony of light. The designers shared the initial inspiration of this collection: it starts with the concept that light is immaterial, and from the desire to create a lamp that could “take hold of light and make it into a shape, wrap around the glare and model it”.
