EVOCATIVE ILLUMINATION || How Lodes' New Outdoor Collection Creates Atmosphere After Dusk
Why retreat indoors when twilight could signal the start of something magical?
Lodes OUTDOOR, the brand's inaugural collection for exterior spaces, embraces the charm of lingering summer nights. By merging decorative finesse with functional innovation, this curated collection elevates outdoor lighting from mere practicality into a sensory experience.
Echoing the beauty of nature, Reed luminaires create rhythmic arrangements that enhance landscape designs.
The philosophy is centred on atmosphere as art. Each luminaire is crafted not just to illuminate but to evoke emotion, enriching the experience of evening outdoor gatherings. With refined forms and subtle design details, these fixtures set a sophisticated tone, creating a comforting, welcoming glow that extends summer evenings well beyond sunset.
Two standout designs by renowned designer Patrick Norguet illustrate this vision beautifully: the Focus and Chelsie luminaires. Focus, inspired by the precise aesthetics of camera lenses, delivers precise illumination with elegance and subtlety. Its refined geometry and strategic directional lighting elevate ordinary outdoor areas into intimate social spaces. Complementing this, the Chelsie fixture offers gentle, ground-level illumination, creating pathways and gathering points that are subtly defined by a warm, inviting light.
Inspired by camera lenses, the Focus luminaire directs light with precision, enhancing intimate outdoor gatherings.
Softly illuminating paths, the Chelsie fixture sets a serene and inviting tone.
The collection thoughtfully integrates natural elements through the designs of Kinno and Reed. Kinno blends organically with landscapes, its mushroom-like form seamlessly harmonizing with gardens and greenery. Reed, inspired by the rhythmic, elegant movements of reeds in nature, can be arranged individually or in captivating groupings, turning garden paths and open areas into visually stunning compositions.
Blending organically into gardens, Kinno brings gentle, natural illumination to outdoor spaces.
Beyond aesthetics, Lodes has prioritized sustainability and durability, designing each luminaire with modular, replaceable components that enhance its lifespan and ecological footprint.
As twilight descends, outdoor spaces illuminated by Lodes OUTDOOR become vibrant settings for shared experiences and quiet contemplation alike. The thoughtful integration of evocative illumination creates lasting memories, defining not just how spaces look but how they feel, prolonging the joys of summer evenings long after darkness falls.
