LOMY is an interpretation of gravitation.

The gravitational attraction of the sun and moon results in the tides on earth. It acts at a distance, without physical contact. When one rises, the other one goes down. In the same way when viewed from different perspectives, a Lomy lamp provides an interpretation of the natural gravitation in nature. Based on the Fibonacci sequence, the geometric bamboo construction is made by artisans in East Java, and then blended with pioneering sustainable technology, the best quality LEDs and robust wireless control.

After drying under the sun in an Indonesian jungle, artisans who make the bamboo part, cut it into very fine strips. Then, using a traditional handmade eco-friendly technique they begin to create the bamboo shape around a central axis. The bamboo strips are rolled to create a flat plate, after that all the strips are shifted one on top of the other, around a central axis, until the final concentric shape is formed.

The lamps are  assembled in Italy, where the bamboo form and sustainable lighting technology are brought together resulting in an object of worldly blended beauty.

Sustainable technology

To achieve lasting light efficiency for Lomy, Etherin designed a pioneering circular Printed Circuit Board, that sits on an anodised aluminium support to improve heat exchange and transfer. The best quality LEDs from Osram and Lumileds have been selected and a bespoke electric cable integrated with a stainless steel wire has been created. Each component is measured, designed and selected to deliver the best quality.

A robust, cost effective and future proof wireless lighting solution from Casambi Technology has been integrated.

Casambi allows you to personalise, enhance the beauty a Lomy lamp brings to spaces, while controlling through Bluetooth on your phone, tablet or other wireless control devices. With a simple picture of your space the app allows independent management of light. And if you have more than one Lomy lamp they can bring something different to each room through the system.

Your work belongs in the conversation.
