KAIA Readies New Lighting and Furniture Collections
Introducing “Empyrean” and “Hearg.”
KAIA, a British German brand dedicated to timelessly unique and hand-crafted “Lighting Objets d’art,” has announced two new collections at this year’s Milan Design Week.
The first of the two unveiling is the “Empyrean” collection, which features a chandelier and a wall lamp, designed in collaboration with The Guild of Saint Luke (GSL Works) and British designer John Whelan. Evoking a timeless dimensional appeal, the Empyrean Chandelier presents a dynamic and expressive presence, powered by KAIA’s innovative LED lamps.
Meanwhile, the Trap Lamp arrives in the shape of a sconce structure, composed of stainless steel in a polished finish with honeycomb-like perforations. A soft, warm glow is filtered through the metallic frame, powered by KAIA’s NEA light that’s enveloped inside.
Also debuted at Milan Design Week this year is KAIA’s first-ever furniture collection, “Hearg.” The name draws from an old English word, meaning altar, the collection consists of a table and chair composed of aluminum. Structurally, the Hearg Table’s legs nod to the monolithic concrete structures as seen in the concourse of Euston station in London.
The Seld Chair complements the table in an almost uniform-like silhouette and build, the back panels and seat are made of black leather. These leathery integrations are hand-stitched in the Bavarian countryside by motorcycle specialists, living up to the brand’s commitments to artisanal craftsmanship.
Take a look at the piece in the gallery above. The aforementioned collections are currently avaiable for inquiry via KAIA’s website.
