liki liki LED lighting design | Where is the strength or the power? Aliki Polydor

The strength of a good project lies in a flowing cycle away from pre-packaged solutions,whilst dealing with constant renewed curiosity and critical spirit. Very often as designers or architects, once we have established our own style, we spontaneously but regretfully, tend to apply it  to most situations or contexts.

The new technology of high-power LEDs represents a revolution in lighting and a challenge for those who are struggling with the choice of lighting systems.

At the same time, it pushes further the opportunity to change the approach to the design issue. It therefore becomes necessary to keep track of the continuous research and experiment around this magnificent technology.  It can no more be qualified as simple lighting but  lighting electronics, applications that go far beyond wiring and switching within the realm of lighting and electricity.

Designing Lighting and fitting it in a project is not anymore a matter of installing the usual fixtures and lamps and choosing them for their design, or rather for the "reputation" of their designers or their brand, but a light where the essence is  « light itself » and its quality. So that a given space remains in total harmony and interaction within its architecture and spirit. Aliki Polydor 2012

liki liki LED design studio | “napo”™| limited edition | a toast to Napoleon | design Aliki Polydor

Do you remember Napoleon?

“napo”™ is a tribute to the memory of this exceptional figure in history admired by some and despised by others. In the design of this luminaire, Aliki Polydor has condensed his power, his intelligence, his passion and some of the attributes that have made him a legend. 
Napoleon stayed in Verona during his first Italian campaign in 1797. The Battle of Rivoli, against the Austrians, was fought in the same year.
Verona’s left bank, Veronetta, as named by Napoleon himself, is the present location of liki liki studio and workshop.

“napo”™©2007 high-power LED table luminaire is a salute to this great strategist. “napo”™ offers 1400 lumen of natural light at 6500 Kelvin within its strong attire. It sits marvelously well on a Directoire piece of furniture or a contemporary console.
