Lodes
A new brand supported by strong foundations, creating objects that light up spaces and moods
In 2020 Studio Italia Design turned 70 and decided to venture down a new path: a shorter name, Lodes, and a new brand ethos, devoted to innovation, inaugurated by the appointment of our founder Luca Nichetto as the company’s Design Curator.
The company has a remarkable experience in lighting production in Venice, the heart of Italy’s glassmaking region, since the fifties. The brand’s heritage, just like ours, is deeply inspired by the same territory, by its mosaics, the hues of the lagoon and the squares of the Venetian cities, bustling with merchants and energy.

COLLABORATIONS
In order to consolidate the company’s commitment to the constant development and experimentation, we engaged our long-time friends, Marco Dessi and Patrick Nourget, to design products for the new collection.DESIGNS BY NICHETTO
As Design Curators of the brand, we had a main ambition: to evolve the creative process through product innovation. Ailes wall lamp, Easy Peasy portable lights and Jefferson pendants, the products we have designed for the brand, emphasise this need to push forward the relationship between products and users by melding beauty and function.REMINISCENT OF ITALIAN LUXURY CARS
The latest release, Aile wall lamp, features a simple yet dynamic shape inspired by the aileron of a sports car, after which it has been named. Aile is compact, sleek and powerful. Its light output and heat absorption offer the perfect solution for intimate settings in contract spaces and homes. Aile is available in matte black and matte white, champagne and red. With Ailes we’ve launched. the newest addition to Lodes’ catalogue: a brand new polished dark red lacquered finish, reminiscent of the texture of luxury Italian cars.4 DOLL—LIKE FRIENDLY CHARACTERS
Like a set of dolls, Easy Peasy portable lamps reflect in their name a playful spirit. Easy Peasy design is composed of two elements: the body, a metal base containing a LED source with a white diffuser, wrapped and held into a glass bell (filtering light) by two different shapes and a knob placed on top of the structure as a dimmer, allowing to vary the intensity of the light from warm to whiter.Easy Peasy is available in four variations: Kelp, Flamingo, Chestnut and Lagoon.






SIXTIES PSYCHEDELIA
Jefferson is a suspension lamp in precious Bohemian crystal that echoes the psychedelic visual arts and music of the Sixties. The vortex pattern that characterises the diffuser, recalls the artistic movement of the counterculture of the late 1960s and its kaleidoscopic and whirling chromatic patterns. The addition of cylindrical modules, connected with a simple interplay of joints, extends the range of variants of the lamp.
