Lodes represents the evolution of the Venetian lighting tradition. Celebrating over 70 years of innovation, the brand rebranded in 2020 to better reflect its global vision of contemporary design. By focusing on the user’s interaction with light, Lodes creates luminaires that are not just objects, but experiences. Their multidisciplinary approach ensures that every fixture satisfies the essential triad of feeling, function, and form.
Lodes is renowned for its "Random" clusters and technical elegance, making it a favorite for high-end residential lobbies and commercial common areas:
The Random Series (Chia-Ying Lee): These lightweight, blown-glass spheres act as modular building blocks, allowing designers to create vast, ethereal clusters that mimic the playfulness of soap bubbles.
The Jefferson (Luca Nichetto): A tribute to the 1960s psychedelic art scene, this bohemian-inspired crystal pendant uses high-performance LED technology to cast intricate patterns across architectural surfaces.
The Nautilus & Kelly Collections: These series exemplify technical precision, utilizing laser-cut metal and adjustable lenses to provide high-output task lighting without sacrificing aesthetic sophistication.
For developers and builders, Lodes offers unmatched logistical and technical advantages:
The Canopy System: Lodes has revolutionized installation with its versatile canopy systems, allowing up to 36 pendants to be powered from a single point—a massive benefit for streamlining electrical specs on-site.
Integrated Sustainability: Every Lodes product is engineered for longevity, utilizing high-efficiency LED sources and 100% recyclable materials, aligning with modern net-zero building standards.
Custom Composition: Their digital tools allow architects to "preview" clusters, ensuring the final specification perfectly matches the architectural intent of the project.
