Home / The Edit Lighting Solutions Nexum redefines the chandelier as an architectural lighting system for residential and contract projects Inspired by traditional chandeliers Nexum redefines the concept and lends it a more architectural expression, thanks to the design of Arik Levy. This lamp is suited to residential and contract projects adding a fresh legible way of organising space thanks to its criss-cross geometric structure. Interior design professionals now have a ceiling mounted pendant light fitting at their disposal to complement the architecture of their projects providing an even and balanced illumination.The Nexum collection came about as an homage to the classical lamp with its uniquely elegant and historical overtones, but its designer Arik Levy wanted to reinterpret it more from an architectural perspective to incorporate it into more contemporary projects, both residential and contract. So that interior designers have a more actualised version of the traditional chandelier at their disposal which more than being merely decorative works as an adaptable system in three contrasting scales: small, medium and large – making it highly versatile. Nexum treats electrical conductivity as its main structural principle via a continuous flow of light horizontally and vertically creating a network of lines that extends outwards to configure a precise geometric mesh. And the spotlights are integrated with the structure in a highly discreet manner, becoming part of the system, a seamless continuity. The choice of Led technology allows light and geometry to merge through the same shared language offering an even, balanced and glare-free illumination. That’s the idea. Understanding light not as an isolated point in space, but instead as a structure inspired by conductivity, that channels the light through space, unfolding both horizontally and vertically from above. In this way, that structure organises, connects and defines the space being illuminated, complementing the architecture in an organic way. The result is a light fitting that brings order, rhythm and scale to spaces, without overwhelming those same spaces, the opposite in fact, they merge with the overall composition. Nexum has been designed to be a flexible lighting tool within contemporary projects. Its underlying system adapts to different configurations, as its designs respond to various geometries: whether that be linear, rectangular, square, or different massing configurations, to meet the demands of interior designers. In every case, the light fitting adjusts to the proportions of each setting without losing formal coherence. Within his reimagining of the chandelier concept Arik Levy has created two versions of Nexum, while still maintaining its elevated position and lighting efficiency. The suspended version that can integrate direct lighting or a combination of direct and indirect lighting, extends the perception of space and adds greater depth. It’s the ideal choice for installation over dining tables, meeting rooms, workspaces and communal areas within contract projects, especially in double height spaces or areas with high ceilings, where it generates an even and balanced illumination. The Nexum ceiling version on the other hand presents a more integrated solution for the upper plane within a space, much more linear character. It projects a uniform downward lighting, guaranteeing visual comfort which makes it ideal for circulation zones, residential spaces and contract areas, wherever clarity and continuity are required. Seen in perspective Nexum unmistakably becomes part of the spatial structure taking on a luminous geometry that connects and precisely orders the visual plane, and at the same time generates a calming, clear and coherent atmosphere.
