Lodes

Lodes Srl, based in Venice, Italy has been designing and producing lighting solutions for interiors and exteriors since 1950. Its creations convey the masterly balance between technical know-how and creative inspiration, an intrinsic characteristic of the best made in Italy design.

Previously known as Studio Italia Design, Lodes completed a rebrand process in June 2020 — on the occasion of its 70th anniversary — which culminated with the unveiling of the new logo and brand identity. Since then, as part of a strategic vision led by General Manager Massimiliano Tosetto, Lodes has been heralding a new era of contemporary design celebrating the company’s manufacturing know-how and high-quality Made in Italy essence.

Balancing technical know-how and the best Made in Italy design, Venice-based Lodes has been designing and producing lighting solutions for interiors and exteriors since 1950. Originating in founder Angelo Tosetto’s passion for glass and informed by continuous technological research, the company has evolved into one of Europe’s leading designers and manufacturers of decorative lighting, currently present in 90 markets worldwide.

Today, Lodes represents a three-generation evolution from pure passion to brilliant architectural solutions, creating light sources that fuse contemporary design and innovative technology with materials of the highest quality, scrupulously developed with the best processing techniques. The firm Studio Italia Design has been selected as one of the most dynamic Italian companies according to the survey “Campioni della crescita 2020” (2020 Growth Champions), as well as in 2021, published in La Repubblica’s “Affari & Finanza”.

At Lodes, we question everything. What is DESIGN? Design is no longer a driver of uniqueness: it has become a pre-requisite for high-quality products. Good design, and good designers, are responsible for facilitating the relationship between products and users, between forms and experiences. It is more about my style than design by itself.

Lodes products strike a perfect balance between technical know–how and sophisticated aesthetics. Since 1950, our company has been creating lighting pieces with special attention paid to the best manufacturing techniques and to contemporary design languages, to bring to life veritable decorative pieces.

Our canopies are smart functional solutions as well as stand-out decorative elements for suspension lamps or wall fixtures. The variety of our canopy range provides an array of possibilities to personalise any living spaces, whether domestic or public.

We offer line voltage and low voltage LED modules—efficient solutions to effectively provide the same light quality as halogen bulbs—which we design and manufacture.

Colour Rendering Index (CRI) is the value that measures the ability of a light source to reproduce the colours of an object. All our LED light sources offer 90 CRI or higher, reflecting the natural colour of objects. Light colour temperature is expressed in Kelvin degrees and corresponds to the hue emitted by the light source. At 2700 K or 3000 K, our LED modules deliver warm and emotional light.

All our LED sources provide the same quality of light colour. Colour variations are within the 3rd step of the MacAdam ellipse and are imperceptible to the human eye, which means that different lamps can be combined harmoniously in the same environment.
