Euroluce 2009, what a feast ! Scepticists that expected a smaller fair with less novelties and less visitors were (as they mostly are) wrong ! The world of original design is alive and Euroluce has proven it. Read all about what our suppliers had to show and see the close encounters with the world's most famous designers. I hope you enjoy ! Keep well. Marc Machtelinckx, C.E.O

There is avery close collaboration between SLAMP and its pricipal designers ; Nigel Coats, Stefano Papi, Luca Mazza and Adriano Rachele. They are the creative force behind the company.
flos Flos, again, blew everyone away with there incredible stand at Euroluce 2009. Not only the concept of the stand but also the introduction of the novelties were a definite highlight of the fair. Only the biggest names in the design industry and the most innovative new-comers ( all selected by Piero Ghandini, CEO of the family owned business) have the honour to contribute to the Flos brand. Also check out the Flos CUBO, remote control system, on the website.
delta light Delta Light, worldwide market leader in architectural lighting, is a family run business (the only one) with over 20 successful years of designing innovative products. Delta Light has developed a new marketing strategy in which they will be launching 'new' products every 3 months. The 'pure blue' lighting bible 2009/2010 is now available, introducing numerous novelties and lighting design ideas !
prandina Prandina has shown at Euroluce that they are not limited to only producing light fittings of mouth blown glass. They have invested a lot into research of new materials that have similar lighting qualities as glass. The versatility of those new materials has resultat in new designs. Indoor and outdoor lights of 'serious' quality with a 'playfull' approach.
oluce At this edition of Euroluce 2009, chandeliers are the most thought out kinds of lighting equipment. The theme may be approached in more than one way: chandeliers as sculptures, as ludic items, as quotations. Antonia Astori and Nicola de Ponti have now developed for oluce a completely new approach: in their own hands, chandeliers become a "system". A transparent and regularly pierced methacrylate tray (called "plateau") holds casually-placed opaline glass globes. Its many electric wires - usually not considered from a planning perspective - climb up to the top, creating an aerial sculpture and thus becoming part of the design of the entire object.
luceplan Incredibly light and easy to assemble, HOPE represents the magic of traditional lamps, reinterpreting them with sophisticated technologies and contemporary materials. A series of thin polycarbonate fresnel lenses multiply the light from the light source, recreating a pleasant, glittery and party-like atmosphere, sprinkled with thousands of shards of light like the diamond which inspired the name : HOPE (design : Francisco Gomez Paz / Paolo Rizzatto).
ingo maurer Ingo Maurer has designed and manufactured lighting for more than 40 years. A team of 70 individuals work together to create products that are a blend of artistic expression and functional elegance. Everything is made with an exceptional love for details and master craftmanship.

metalspot Thanks to the cooperation with both famous & budding designers, we are still pursuing our research of design and light. New products and previous ones in constant evolution, have made our catalogue even richer, where decoration and technique live in perfect symbiosis. Traditional lighting and the most advanced LED technologies are joined together expressing their highest potentials. As in the best Metal Spot tradition, continuity and innovation, creativity and severity prove our ability of making opposites live together in harmony. But there's one thing that unifies all Metal Spot's work - a characteristic that we will never give up as long as we last, our Italian spirit.
