Stretching lights: lighting systems with a unique and customizable design
More and more design companies are developing innovative pendant lamps that allow you to place the light source, regardless of the position of the electrical outlets, anywhere in the room. We have selected some hanging lamps that through the exposed cables delimit the space in a creative way and create unexpected geometries.
1. by Michael Anastassiades for
"Every time I take a train, I sit in front of the window and observe the effect of high speed on the perfectly parallel series of wires connecting the light pylons." Thus Michael Anastassiades describes the inspiring principle of the String Light ceiling lamp (on the cover). A black electric wire that enters into a relationship with the architecture of a space, inserting itself precisely into the lines formed by the walls of a room. A design that goes in the direction of abstraction, a search for purity, to bring objects and materials back to the bare dimension of their origins.
2. Match by Jordi Vilardell & Meritxell Vidal for
The Match lamp is a new concept in lighting and stands as a new lighting concept based on co-creation. In fact the creative process allowing the light fitting to be integrated seamlessly with the interior design. The final result is a pendant light collection constructed from slim metal rods finished in matt lacquered white or matt lacquered graphite equipped with LED light terminals, forming a light sculpture that illuminates central themes of space and interior decoration.
3. North by Arik Levy for Vibia
The North lamps, designed by Arik Levy, adapt to the differences in angle and light intensity dictated by the changing seasons. Levy's exclusive design separates the point of origin of the installation from its light source, brought to unexpected destinations, offering, thanks to its adjustable arms, a localized light beam where necessary.
4. Neuro by Beppe Merlano for
Neuro is a simple project, almost a reinterpretation of old electrical systems: the idea of bringing the light wherever you want, starting from an electrical outlet. A plug, a cable, insulators, a lamp holder and a led bulb.
5. Tube by Ichiro Iwasaki for Vibia
Designed by Ichiro Iwasaki, the modular Tube collection consists of a network of simple tubes that channels light to different shades. The steel conduits snake across the ceiling, creating a unique web of lines and angles that recall a metro map.

In 1921 Bernard-Albin Gras designed a series of lamps for use in offices and in industrial environments. The Gras lamp, as it was subsequently called, was astounding in its simple, robust and yet very ergonomic design. The lamps, as acrobats, soar through the air hanging from thin ropes combining movement, color and rhythm to propose a new lighting solution.
