Koinè | Elegance and purity of forms

“Koiné in ancient Greek means <<common language>>.
For us design means finding a timeless and borderless alphabet, detached from the personal style or taste. Our goal is to provide products that speak to every mankind in the world. We are driven and inspired by performance, ergonomics and functionality, like a beautiful sailing boat that is designed to suit the flow of the water and wind and as a result is beautiful.(…) Our vision is to create a family of products that can cover the widest possible range of environments and configurations, improve people lives and use less energy.”

Elegance and purity of style characterise this set of suspension lamps named Koinè, referring to its shape which offers such extreme versatility. The real heart of the project lies, however, not in the product design but in the lighting mechanism inside. This is where Koinè’s great innovation lies.

A specifically created mineral lens has in fact been applied to the light source. The beam of light transmitted through the lens appears homogeneous and clear, a wide cone of light with clearly defined edges.

Besides the suspension model, the series includes the acoustic version and recently has been expanded with the wall and cluster typology. Alongside high technological and luminous performance, Koinè offers a sound-absorbing version and adds another innovative feature.

The reflector becomes a cap in 60% recycled felt, an effective aesthetic touch that permits improvement of acoustic comfort in spaces, reducing reverberation and propagation of sound waves. This version is available in two sizes: 110 cm or 86 cm.
