M inimalism is an art form and in decor it is expressed in uncluttered design, mono- chromatic palettes, geometric shapes and clean lines. When it comes to lighting in particular, less is more and statements can be made with lu- minaires in simplistic shapes with pared-back lines. Euro Nouveau boasts an extensive collection of fine European lighting, some of which embody the very essence of the minimalist movement. Of all the manufacturers in the collection, Inarchi epitomises minimalism best. Its vision of creating lighting that exists in a pure, minimal state can be seen in all of its designs. The Hexan is a hexagonal suspension lamp with LED lights and is made from either bronze, glass or painted steel. Arc is a rectangular aluminium profile system with high-performance LED lights. This highly versatile luminaire consists of an array of straight and curved lines. Rutil is one of Inarchi’s award-winning designs that can be suspended as an individual drop or as a cluster, and is a hexagonal suspension aluminium suspended light with an ultra-compact, high intensity LED light. Fontana Arte is an Italian lighting brand that creates lighting fixtures that are clean and contemporary while still being decorative. Its 10 + wall and table lamp designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune is extremely functional and has a flexible light source. It is available in mirrored and burnished metal finishes. Its Apex wall lamp by designer Karim Rashid has an elegant, streamlined design and an eye-shaped centre. Each end of the luminaire tapers off and almost disappears into its surroundings, while still emitting a powerful blade of light. Panzeri values quality and innovation in its designs. This can be seen in the Ypsilon, a brass bar wall lamp, slim and elegant in design. The lamp body aims an acute angle slightly away from the wall casting a pleasant indirect light. The award- winning Viisi is a pentagon-based lamp inspired by the javelin used in athletics. It is available in two lengths with direct lighting and indirect lighting. Its Brooklyn Line is another design that exemplifies simplistic design. This fixture consists of a suspended LED in extruded aluminium, painted white or black with a reflector and screen. And then there is LID from Serien. A discreet design object by day, this wall lamp morphs into a spherical light at night and is available in genuine opal glass, silver-coloured or champagne-coloured aluminium or mirror glass.
