The story of Cestita began on a quiet evening in the Catalan countryside. I was sitting on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean as the sun dipped below the horizon. In the distance, a local farmer finished his day’s work, reaching down to pick up a traditional wicker basket filled with the day's harvest. As he walked toward his farmhouse, the silhouette of that "little basket"glowing in the golden hour struck me.

I thought to myself: Why can’t light be like a harvest? Something we can gather, carry with us, and place wherever we need warmth?

That was the moment the Cestita lamp was born on my sketchbook. It is more than just a luminaire, it is a vessel for the Mediterranean sunset, designed to let you carry a piece of that golden light into your home.

🌊 The Vision: A Contemporary Harvest of Light

Cestita is more than a lamp; it is a "vessel for light" born from a dialogue between Mediterranean soul and modern functionality. My design philosophy was to distill the rustic charm of traditional Spanish lanterns into a contemporary classic.

By blending the romance of coastal heritage with the restraint of Modernism, I aimed to create a piece that honors its roots through an organic silhouette while serving the fluid needs of modern life. It’s an exercise in balance—utilizing a minimalist geometric structure and a portable handle to break the rigid boundaries of fixed lighting. It is a "living" object, designed to be carried like a basket of warm Mediterranean sunshine into every corner of your home.

✨Materials: The Intersection of Nature and Purity

To achieve a sense of "elevated rusticity," I was uncompromising in the selection of materials:

The Frame (Walnut & Wood):  I chose walnut and natural wood for its fine grain and deep, sophisticated hue. Natural wood for a light and airy feel, and a deep Walnut for a more grounded, sophisticated presence. Whether in the sun-kissed blonde of wood or the chocolate-rich hues of walnut, the natural grain gives each lamp a unique “fingerprint.” This organic warmth makes every interaction—every time you lift the handle—a tactile pleasure.

The Shade (Opal Glass): Like a polished pearl, the white opal glass shade diffuses harsh light into a soft, velvety glow. It creates a dreamlike, ambient effect reminiscent of morning sunlight filtering through the mist.

⏳ Craftsmanship: The Art of Bending Time

The elegant curves of Cestita are not products of a mass-production line. Each piece is hand-built and assembled by European artisans using the ancient steam-bending process.

Craftsmen submerge the walnut wood in high-temperature steam until the rigid fibers become supple. Then, using a mix of strength and precision, they bend the wood over manual molds to achieve that perfect "U" shape. It is a slow, rhythmic process that imbues every lamp with the tension of the hand and the patience of time.

💡 Seamless Living: Light on the Move

Cestita’s brilliance lies in its effortless portability. With its lightweight frame and ergonomic handle, it is designed to move with you—from a focused study session to a quiet bedside. More than a lamp, it is a flexible companion that ensures the perfect Mediterranean ambiance is always within reach, wherever you choose to settle.

🏡 Versatility: Light Without Borders

The true charm of Cestita lies in its lack of boundaries. Thanks to its lightweight structure and iconic handle, it is not a stationary object but a companion that follows your daily path:

🛌 The Bedside Table: It serves as the gentlest companion for late-night reading. The opal glass filters out all glare, creating a cocoon of safety and calm that prepares the mind for rest.

🛋️ The Side Table or Living Room Corner: When the day ends and you sink into the sofa, Cestita creates a "spiritual island" of light. It fills dark corners with a warm glow, adding cinematic depth and layers to your living space.

📚 The Bookshelf or Display Cabinet: Even when unlit, its walnut silhouette is a sculptural work of art. Once turned on, it highlights your books and collectibles, adding a sophisticated texture to your interior design.

🧸 Floor Decoration: This is a truly contemporary way to style the lamp. Placing it directly on a thick rug or a hardwood floor allows the light to reflect off the ground, making the room feel taller, cozier, and more grounded.

🍷 The Terrace and Balcony: On a cool evening, carry it outside. Whether you are enjoying the breeze on a balcony or sharing a glass of wine on the terrace, the glow of Cestita recreates that effortless Mediterranean holiday vibe right at home.

✨Light should do more than just illuminate the dark; it should be an extension of our emotions. Cestita is my gift to the home—a reminder to slow down. I hope that as you carry this "little basket" through your halls, you feel the same peace and freedom of a Mediterranean summer night.

👉 Bring this Mediterranean glow into your home

As a lighting designer, I often feel that my work is about capturing the "unholdable"—like a play of shadows or a fleeting emotion.

One afternoon, while sitting by my studio window, I watched a child blowing bubbles in the street. Those transparent spheres shimmered with a subtle iridescence in the sunlight, drifting effortlessly with the breeze as if they had escaped the pull of gravity. In that moment, I thought: "What if I could make these 'bubbles floating in the air' stay on a ceiling forever?"

That was the spark that gave birth to the Talia Collection.

✨ Inspiration & Concept: The Weightlessness of Breath

My original design intent was to create a sense of "visual lightness." In a busy and high-pressure modern life, home should be the place where you feel most unburdened. I wanted Talia to be more than just a lamp; I wanted it to be a cluster of bubbles suspended in time. Through its staggered arrangement, it breaks the heavy, rigid stereotypes of traditional lighting, giving the space a sense of fluid rhythm and "breathability."

🏛️ A Fusion of Styles: A Dialogue Across Time

When designing Talia, I chose Transitional Style as the core foundation. The essence of this style is balance—it isn’t as ornate as traditional design, nor as stark as extreme minimalism. Instead, it bridges the gap between the classic and the contemporary with soft lines, creating a timeless and comfortable aesthetic:

A Nod to the Classics: The glass globe is an iconic symbol in lighting history. By retaining the spherical element, I am paying homage to the classic glass globe designs rooted in the Bauhaus era.

Modern Collisions: I introduced sophisticated modern metal finishes. When the sleek metallic frame weaves through the warm glass spheres, the contrast of materials gives the chandelier an understated luxury that fits perfectly in both a historic estate and a modern apartment.

🔥 Master Craftsmanship: Every Sphere Has a Soul

To achieve that clear, life-like "bubble" texture, machine manufacturing simply wouldn't suffice. We insisted on using hand-blown glass techniques.

Each glass sphere is individually crafted by skilled artisans. As the glass transitions from a molten fluid to a solid state in the high-heat furnace, the process leaves behind subtle, unique traces of the human hand. When light passes through the hand-blown glass, the soft, rich refraction perfectly recreates the pure, ethereal visual effect of a bubble in the sun.

📐 Artistic Form: Breaking the Rhythm of Repetition

I believe that "beauty should not be a formula." Therefore, the Talia series is not just a simple scaling of sizes.

We designed six different sizes, and the most magical part is that each size has its own unique form. They appear like bubbles growing freely and floating randomly in space—some clustered together, others gracefully outstretched. Whether the room is large or small, this asymmetrical, natural beauty brings a dynamic artistic vibe to your home.

Talia Chandelier: A celestial cluster that creates a focal point of radiant, multidimensional beauty.

Talia Linear Chandelier: A rhythmic, elongated flow that brings an airy, so phisticated pulse to dining tables or expansive space.

🏠 Spatial Magic: Where Does It Belong?

Talia’s versatility allows it to adapt perfectly to every corner of the home:

Dining Room: The Talia Linear hangs above a long table like a string of light bubbles drifting by, making every meal feel breezy and romantic.

Living Room: The Grand Chandelier quickly becomes a focal point, acting like a rainfall of bubbles from the ceiling that anchors the room with texture.

Bedroom: The staggered globes emit a soft, diffused light, creating a dreamlike weightlessness that helps you shed the day’s fatigue.

Bathroom: The crystal-clear spheres pair beautifully with water elements, giving the bath space a natural, artistic extension.

✨ The Secret of the "Unpoppable" Bubble

My friends often joke with me: "Since they’re inspired by bubbles, do they pop?"

I always smile and tell them: "That’s the magic of Talia—it captures the most beautiful second of a bubble and turns it into an eternity. The only thing you might need to worry about is your guests staring at your ceiling for so long that they forget to use their dinner forks."

After all, who could refuse bringing a never-ending midsummer dream into their home?

The bathroom is a critical space where lighting impacts both safety and your daily routine. A poor light choice can undermine your décor and even compromise your safety. As your lighting experts, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you select the ideal fixture—one that is both safe and visually flattering.

🛀 What Is Bathroom Lighting and What Is Its Role?

Bathroom lighting refers to fixtures specifically designed for the high-humidity environment of a residential bathroom. Beyond providing the basic functional illumination needed—ensuring you have clear, uniform light for makeup application, shaving, and washing, free from harsh shadows—it serves several crucial purposes:

Safety Assurance: Providing sufficient brightness to prevent accidents on wet floors.

Atmosphere Creation: Utilizing light temperature and fixture design to transform the bathroom from a purely functional space into a relaxing, private sanctuary.

🚨 Essential Requirements

When selecting bathroom lighting, you must focus on both lighting performance and the safety matching of the installation environment.

💄 Lighting Essentials

Ambient Lighting: The Broad Foundation

Ambient Lighting serves as the foundational layer of your bathroom scheme, designed to provide a uniform, soft background glow across the entire bathroom space. Typically achieved with a central ceiling fixture or recessed downlights, it covers a broad area. The main difference from task lighting is its focus on overall comfort and safety; the light is diffused and gentle, meeting the basic need for movement but not providing the crisp brightness required for detailed tasks.

🔎 Task Lighting: Focus and Function

Task Lighting provides precise, high-intensity light for specific functional zones in the bathroom (like the mirror/vanity area or the shower). It focuses on narrow areas requiring careful visual operation. The core difference from ambient lighting is its focus and intensity: it must be concentrated and bright enough to eliminate shadows, ensuring you can clearly see every detail when applying makeup, shaving, or showering. It is the key to achieving full bathroom functionality.

🛡️ Moisture Resistance

Bathroom fixtures must have adequate moisture and water resistance.

Low Protection: An IP20 rating, for instance, is suitable only for completely dry environments which means installation is only safe in zones at least 0.6 from water sources.

Medium Protection: An IP44 rating, for example, provides splash protection—the minimum safe standard for general areas.

High Protection: An IP65 rating, for example, provides protection against water jets, essential for areas directly exposed to water, such as inside the shower enclosure.

Selection Tip: Choose an IP rating that strictly matches your installation location.

⚡ Electrical Safety : Wiring and Core Protection Devices

Due to the heightened risk of electrocution in damp environments, robust electrical protection is mandatory.

Essential Protection: All bathroom circuits must be protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or a Residual Current Device (RCD). These devices instantly cut power upon detecting current leakage, forming the core safety barrier.

Always adhere to local electrical codes,all wiring must be completed by a qualified and licensed electrician.

🎨 Practical Pairing and Style Definition: Type, Source, and Material Selection

The fixture's type and materials are the "soul" that shapes your bathroom's style. You can combine them based on your design preference and spatial needs:
