Lodes Jefferson

August 5, 2020

Lodes, the Italian brand formerly known as Studio Italia Design, is excited to introduce the Jefferson Suspension Lamp stateside in celebration of its 70th anniversary. Designed by Venetian designer and the Lodes‘ design curator, Luca Nichetto, Jefferson’s alluring crystal form evokes the prismatic visuals of the late 60s counterculture along with its lyrical and artistic nature.

Jefferson, distributed exclusively through JB Lighting Collection in the U.S., exhibits a gorgeous reinterpretation of the vortex pattern typical of Bohemian crystal. Created through a special pressing technique that imprints meticulous details on the crystal surface, the fixture is suspended from a thin yet incredibly strong Kevlar-reinforced cable that allows for the diffusion of a warm and elegant illumination that extends 360 degrees.

Lodes’ recent rebranding heralds a new era of contemporary design that continues its heritage of craftsmanship, technological innovation and its made-in-Italy essence. To that end, Jefferson is available in various sizes and compositions to suit any space, including seductive cluster configurations that multiply the kaleidoscopic effect of the light. Standard sizes include the Jefferson mini, which consists of two elliptical crystal diffusers joined together on the black chrome frame. When lit, the undulating pattern on the crystal bodies appear to spin, creating a captivating play of light. Similarly, the small and medium variations are created through the addition of cylindrical modules made possible by intelligently designed extension joints that cater to all scales and ranges of spaces.

The Jefferson fixture exhibits the height of form, function and innovation. Its 3-watt LED module features a CRI equal to 90, creating an authentic color representation that casts the perfect glow.
