Knit redefines light as something both intimate and shared in all sorts of settings

The warm aesthetic allows the lamp to integrate easily with any setting no matter how different, creating an aura of comfort around each light fitting that invites living and being in the moment throughout the course of the day. Because Knit manages to bestow a homely ambience through its graceful design that complements the daily rhythm of the home, an office or a lounge area …

The collection’s author was searching for a holistic solution for the design of interior atmospheres, with a lighting capable of generating different levels of comfort and warmth within the same space using texture, light and materiality. The magic resides in the smooth texture of the textile covering and the rounded design which combined create a light fitting capable of transforming an entire space while also connecting with the emotions of anyone nearby.

In addition to the intimate and calming way Knit can be featured in the domestic environment it also offers the same possibilities when used in public buildings and shared spaces, that accommodate very different perceptions. However, its possibilities are multiplied even further when looking at the other models of the collection: hanging, floor and table versions. Representing a range of possible configurations that help redefine the experience of light for every setting.

For residential projects the hanging versions installed over a dining table or kitchen peninsulas, provide an immersive lighting that invites conversation and foments visual calm, so appreciated at the end of the day. That sensation comes from the ribbed texture, which attenuates the light and projects a diffuse radiance that encourages the full enjoyment of intimate and relaxing settings with family, partners and friends.

For those laidback moments when we manage to disconnect while at home, stretched out on the sofa or comfortably ensconced in an armchair for reading, the floor or table version of Knit are ideal for lending calm to any of those areas within the living room. Beyond the practical lighting the collection oozes a sense of harmony, thanks to its delicate design, converting it into a household object which is nice to have around.

And all these sensorial impressions of calm and harmony, are perfectly applicable to workspaces, restaurant interiors, retail and hospitality with a light that can bring the human touch to collective projects.

Similarly, the various versions of Knit when featured in open-plan offices, lounge spaces, shared worktables etc. aid concentration and conversation between workers and visitors alike, allowing these professional spaces to take on a warmer, calmer and more homely ambience.

The Knit collection works for either setting, is easy to install and offers adjustable lighting control as required, with ample intensity for undertaking functional tasks or dimming for a soft tenuous glow that aids disconnection and relaxation. Even when off the texture of the textile remains visible, adding a sensual dimension that connects with the architecture and natural materials of the surroundings (wood, stone, textiles, metal …).

The collection designed by Meike Harde has managed to satisfy her ambition of transcending lighting to create a sensation of “feeling like home” which all interior designers pursue for their projects, even in commercial spaces. The technical precision of Knit, together with its warm and impacting aesthetic are the perfect example of a light that is experienced as something intimate and at the same time shared which supports, embraces and connects all at the same time.
