Light is Life!

As we continue to expore lighting elements, we always look for designers who encapsulate self expression in lighting fixtures. It is hard to do so, without talking about Viso.

Viso explored a variety of materials to capture emotion and expression in a product and still get an edgy final product.

The "Marini" collection of suspensions brings a touch of the mastery of the ocean coral to our interior decor. The marriage of the color printed fabric shade with a silver interior and Swarovski starfish crystals suspended inside creates this unique and distinctive family

Over the years, the range of materials used by Viso has expanded: with the use of crystals, ceramics, fabrics and glass, as well as polycarbonate and mylar, Viso extended it's offer to individuals who appreciate unique and contemporary comfort through light. The spontaneous use of hand made and industrial synthesis material enriched the intrinsic quality of the collections, interpreting the forms and functions of light into strong objects of character.

New materials and classic beauty: Hollywood collection is able to create an enigma. when the light is off, a mirrored Mylar shade with the reflection of its environments floats in the room and as the lamp is turned on, it reveals the interior dressed in crystal that shimmers and give the space the extra "bling".

Inspired by the space travel capsules of the 70's and 80's Nanoo gives your decor futuristic and unique qualities.Rotationally molded ceramic milk is used in the creation of this model."Mark and Mindy would have approved, Nanoo Nanoo..

The philosophy behind Viso is to drive us to design unorthodox collections that will elaborate on elegance through simplicity and desire for individuality.

Zebra incorporates technology and engineering in the production of this model: high quality polycarbonate and silver metallization are the key to this exclusive series. Like no other product on the market, Zebra enhances a modern setting with it's clean exhibition.

The collection "Bolio" is made with high quality polycarbonate with a metalized interior and polished aluminium metal components. Very comprehensible and non-pretense.

Fort Knox: the ambiance of this light gives out a warm and comfortable glow. To obtain maximum effect, it is advised to use the suspension in sets or clusters for a very powerful and rich effect.
