The new Karman 2021 collection is designed to provide architects, planners, and interior designers with products that are able to enhance a lighting design project. With these novelties, Karman winks at minimalism, conferring the right mix of elegance, modernity, and craftsmanship.
This is how the lamps of the new collection were born, demonstrating that research and development, combined with the wise choice of materials, are key elements that make Karman the right choice to illuminate any environment.
Discover, in detail, the news of the Karman 2021 collection, divided by category:
Let's start with the description of the new Karman 2021 collection, beginning with the suspension lamps, their materials, and their technical characteristics.
A suspension lamp with an innovative design, Circus is conceived as a line of three blown glass suspensions that form fascinating light effects thanks to the white filigree in fabric style.
The element that gives your project greater quality is the artisan technique used for this lamp’s production.
It is an ancient technique that dates back to the 16th century: this technique requires that the milky white glass strips are wrapped and stretched onto the surface of the molten glass before blowing it.
The solution’s name derives precisely from the effect of this technique since a contrasting pattern is created, giving the collection soft, symmetrical effects, reminiscent, precisely, of circus tents.
Being handcrafted, each of these pieces is unique, and the three models offered in different sizes allow you to combine them as you wish so that you can create compositions for your clients.

The basic element of this installation is a simple cone in black aluminum, which gives Filomena a very elegant but at the same time sharp and contemporary design.
This small black aluminum cone then branches out onto the ceilings or walls, allowing you to suspend them at different heights by means of a long thin cable to balance them out in a sophisticated way.
In addition, you can also house two cone-shaped lighting fixtures with diffused light on the cable: one of them is smaller and directs the beam downwards; the other one is larger and directs the light upwards.
To give a touch of creativity to your project, you can space these two different cones out as you like and hook them to the ceiling or wall with the special black aluminum deviators.
As for the power supply, you can place it on the floor, or it can be recessed into the wall. Another valid solution may be to hide it with a white plaster ceiling rose, perhaps with a floral motif in relief.
Or you can choose the smooth version. It all depends on your client's tastes and the lamp’s environment.

This exquisite suspension lamp is ideal for environments such as bedrooms and living rooms.
Moonbloom is a 75 cm white plaster ceiling rose, from which a cable hangs with a LED cone lighting fixture in matte black aluminum at the end, 7 cm high and with a diameter of 8 cm.
Because the ceiling rose is white, you have the freedom to install it in any environment and match it with the most suitable color for your project.
There are two models: one with a single cone and one with a double cone.
In the second solution, in addition to the structure, there is another cone of light along the pendant cable, this time inverted, 10 cm high and with a diameter of 11 cm, which points the light upwards.
This double solution allows you to arrange different installations, giving movement to the rooms by alternating between the two versions.

Sibilla is a suspension lamp that diffuses light in all directions and is able to change according to the angle from which it is viewed.
Taking a cue from the Dutch myth of the Sibyls, the suspension structure diffuses light in all directions and has a creative geometry, given by the combination of vertical and horizontal crossed arms, at the end of which you will find the light source placed inside a shell.
The original features of this proposal make it perfect for lighting design projects that give linear style to the environments: you can install several in different environments, playing with its structure to define and differentiate them.
For this purpose, Sibilla by Karman is available in three different sizes and in two variants of white or black.
Sibilla
The name of this series of ceiling lights and suspensions is loosely inspired by the participle of the Italian verb “Stare” (“to be”): “Stante”.
Stant's structure is composed of straight lines and circumferences to create a design that recalls the engineering structures of the early 1900s.
All its components are visible, assembled with visible pins in which you can insert, with expressive freedom, additional elements such as cylindrical spotlights or satin-blown glass spheres of different diameters.
The configuration of Stant by Karman allows you a certain freedom of design in which you can create real microarchitectures of light, adding elements that do not need additional power cables.

An elegant and modern suspension lamp, Stralunata is composed of a flat white aluminum disc designed to fully reflect the light coming from an inverted black aluminum cone.
Its design is conceived as an acrobatic system of weights and counterweights between geometric bodies, creating a suspension with a truly minimal aesthetic. Stralunata offers an elegant, soft light that provides spaces with a more intimate atmosphere.

The two types of floor lamps in the new collection have very particular designs that will give uniqueness to every lighting project.
Fireman, created by Marc Sadler, a brilliant yet eclectic designer, is a floor lamp created as a clear tribute to the mythical telescopic aerial ladder of firefighters.
In fact, it is reminiscent of the historic and beloved New York fire escape system that we also see in TV series.
It consists of a triangular stabilizing base in black painted iron to which the extensible rod of the floor lamp is anchored.
The latter is equipped with two LED lighting fixtures, adjustable and of different diameters, whose intensity you can adjust separately using the Karman app.
In addition to its shape, the peculiarity of this new floor lamp lies in the adjustable pin, which, being movable and retractable, allows the lamp to rise to extend higher and higher.
These features allow it to reach a height of 3 meters and 20, ideal for environments with high ceilings.
Fireman
The name Xana is inspired by a creature of extraordinary beauty that in Asturian folklore is believed to live in fountains, rivers, waterfalls, or wooded regions with pure water, on whose surface they are mirrored to comb their long hair.
The Xana floor lamp by Karman is perfect for outdoor environments but can also be used as a light spot inside a room: its disc hides the LED light source in the lower part, and the structure includes an adjustable spike at different heights.
Its features make it the ideal lamp for projects in which you need to illuminate outdoor paths, but you can also insert it as a functional outdoor piece of furniture.
You can, for example, decide to arrange Xana so that it is planted like a flower to shed light among the vegetation of your terrace or garden.

Finally, the new Karman collection includes two wall lamps with elegant and original designs that are also minimal and basic.
Corrado is Matteo Ugolini's homage to bullfighting, a highly symbolic ancient art.
It comes in two color variants, black and white, with the addition of the black velvet effect finish if you want to give more visual charm to your space.
The bull's head symbolizes both fury and manly strength, complete with luminous horns and a nose ring. With this new lamp, the Karman Zoo then expands, including:
You can integrate Corrado into your projects to make rooms more modern and eclectic.
For example, you can envision it in an open space of a hotel as a connecting element between one room and another, or use it to illuminate and decorate the entrance to a home with style.
Corrado
It is a spotlight and an adjustable disc that create special light and shadow effects.
This fantastic duo creates Movida: a cylindrical spotlight in white or black aluminum capable of creating imaginative light effects on the wall.
The adjustable disc inside constitutes a double light source, one lower and one upper, whose light bounces off one or more adjustable deflector discs in white aluminum.
However, the cylindrical spotlight performs its full function even on its own, and both are ideal for indoor and outdoor lighting projects.
Movida
Thanks to its sophisticated and unusual design, the new Karman collection has become a source of inspiration to create a setting of great aesthetic potential for your project.
All you have to do is let your creativity and imagination run wild by creating unique lighting design projects with the help of the new Karman 2021 collection.
