lows for cooling air flow.The lamp holder is entirely
contained within the shade, invisible within the
pure form of the design, with the LED lamp also
recessed deep in the shade to avoid glare, without
restricting the beam or wasting any emitted light.
"Lighting is now digital. The new super-efficient
LED light source is amazing and as 20% of the
world’s energy is used in lighting, LEDs can really
make a difference. For me it‘s important not to
waste any of this new efficient light. To marry this
solid state technology with solid natural materials
is emotive,” says Woodgate.
The product packaging was created by Charlie
Smith Design, who also created the brand identity.
The box system Smith created was designed to
work across all products within the Solid collection
and avoids the use of plastics and polystyrene.
Woodgate felt strongly that the accompanying
instruction manual should offer an opportunity to
engage with the customer with the brand, and not
be an afterthought.The manual, with illustrations by
John See, is the first item visible when a customer
opens the box.
Woodgate has also made use of the marble that
is removed from the central column of the marble
shades, designing a small, conical pendant light that
houses a 3 W LED.
This will be available as a single pendant, or for
bespoke projects as a cluster or cascade.
Fred Bass, managing director of Neonlite Interna-
tional Ltd, the brand owner of MEGAMAN®, says:
“LED lamp technology brings so many advantages
to the end user. As well as a long lamp life and
excellent quality of light, our Ingenium® Blu LED
lamps can be controlled via a smart device app, for
the ultimate in user flexibility.Working with such an
influential designer asTerenceWoodgate has been
a real privilege and Solid is testament to what can
happen when the ultimate in style meets the latest
in LED lamp technology.”
