Caleydo Lamp Turns Circular Design into a Colourful Lighting Experience

Header: In-Es Artdesign Srls

Caleydo lamp is a sustainable pendant made of recycled materials. The lamp, created by In-es.artdesign, has been developed by their research team, following the principles of circularity and eco-sustainability. Made of upcycled leftovers from the regular production process, the lamp is a mixture of steel, laprene, nebulite, and polycarbonate.

Caleydo dual colour combinations

Made of recycled materials in two transparent colours, the Caleydo lamp creates a kaleidoscopic play of two shades-one internal and one external.

Caleydo lamp got its name from a kaleidoscopic effect achieved through a refraction of two transparent colours, external and internal. After extensive empirical explorations, the company’s research team created a lamp that, depending on the ambient light, changes tone to one of the two transparent colours. This kaleidoscopic play of the emotional light is available in six colour combinations, each accompanied by a white cable:

  • turquoise-orange,
  • orange-magenta,
  • magenta-turquoise,
  • turquoise-magenta,
  • magenta-orange,
  • orange-turquoise

In-es.artdesign: Merging art, design and philosophy

In-es. artdesign, a Rome-based company founded by Luciano M. Mazzilli, aka Oçilunam, merges two of his greatest passions: design and art. Founded in 2003, the company is known for its functional, layered designs reminiscent of natural phenomena such as moon waning or the passing of time. Reflecting the philosophical background of its founder, the company infuses its designs with a contemplative quality, starting with its name. In-es in the title stands for interior and exterior, symbolising both the firm’s portfolio (which consists of both interior and exterior lighting) as well as the tension between the external world of design and the more intimate, primitive world of the Freudian id. In-es. artdesign’s standout collection includes the moon-inspired Luna, be.pop, inspired by pop art and bebop movements, and the award-winning Matt collection.

By combining two changing colours in the same lamp, the Caleydo creates a subtle, organic glow that affects the ambience of the room with every change. The lighting fixture’s sustainable design is as environmentally conscious as it is visually engaging. The creator of the Caleydo lighting piece In-es.artdesign, was awarded the SIT Furniture Award in the Designer & Custom Lighting category.
