As Salone del Mobile's most luminous showcase, Euroluce 2025 lit up Rho Fiera with a reinvigorated layout and curatorial precision. This year’s edition shined a spotlight on material experimentation, sensory narratives, and sustainability. Lighting fixtures emerged as mediums for spatial storytelling and atmospheric authorship, as well as effective spectacle.

LANTERN REFRAME

Lee Broom's first collaboration with Lladró reimagines the lantern as a weightless porcelain cascade. Seamlessly stacked or softly singular, each glowing pendant fuses craft tradition with modernist restraint and emotion. lladro.com

BUG LIFE

With a chrome shell and five marble legs, the Beetle lamp by 101 Copenhagen is as curious as it is elegant. Portable and dimmable, it scuttles with ease from shelf to side table with sculptural poise. 101cph.com

CHILL FACTOR

Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) for Artemide, Arctic is a mirrored modular form with a diffusing core. Inspired by Archimedean geometry, it casts even light through fractured reflections. artemide.com
