The always original Paola Navone of OTTO Studio presented a delightful light for Lodes called Oblò. The decorative pendant lamp is named after the Italian word for porthole, with a fluid silhouette and chromatic palette, evoking the sensations of the sea.

Offered in finishes ranging from iridescent to metallic blue, silk white, glossy smoke, and transparent, a knotted cable suspends the diffuser and, therefore, appears to float in the air like a buoy. The knotted cable houses an invisible LED source that illuminates the diffuser so that only the glass is visible, akin to the sensation of peering through a porthole.

Particularly noteworthy was the Virtu cabinet with its attention to the textures and details of Samurai armour.

Previously encapsulated in a historical collection inspired by Kagemusha, the sophisticated Virtu cabinet is a piece that captures the imagination on closer inspection with its katana-inspired handle and tatami-effect interiors with customised graphics.
