phanes
Phanes is the Orphic primordial god, the one who shines and highlights whatever surrounds him. The Italian company having this name stands out thanks to the selection of concepts where archetypical simplicity, Italian high-quality handcrafted products and an accurate selection of light sources blend together.
The playful imagination which feeds Phanes lighting projects is balanced by the manufacturing precision of experienced Italian artisans’ hands.
The constant research of lighting paradigms is like a child game but nevertheless deep, made with the reliability that only a child can keep when he discovers the world and especially when he creates it.
Phanes lighting objects have a technological soul, and their sources are selected and assembled according to duration, lighting efficiency (luminous flux/wattage) and energy saving, but the ultimate purpose is still to recall the origin of the generating idea: a monolithic unit where the manufacturing technique, the choice of materials and the idea are all summarized in a single object celebrating the empire of light.
