The AKANE lamp has been selected for the DELTA Awards 2014. These awards from the Industrial Design Association, ADI-FAD, promote the recognition of innovative products, in which both its design as its manufacturing quality and environmental suitability is valued.

AKANE finalist of the DELTA Awards 2014

AKANE es una pieza de autor que presenta un diseño inspirado en los tradicionales farolillos orientales y en la magia que transmiten cuando están encendidos. Su diseñador, Pepe Llaudet ha creado un producto contemporáneo que, además de iluminar, ofrece sensaciones y experiencias. AKANE is an author's piece that presents a design inspired by the traditional oriental Chinese lanterns and by the magic they transmit when they are burning. Its designer, Pepe Llaudet has created a contemporary product that, in addition to illuminating, offers sensations and experiences. It surprises by the minimalism of its structure, it is completely manufactured in Spain and has been made in metal and papyrus. We find the differential value in how the legs communicate and complement with the screen and how they get the structural soundness that they do not have separately. AKANE is a dynamic object. The purity of its forms and the choice of the materials are essential for it to endure in time. The winners of the DELTA Awards 2014 will be announced on July 10th. Faro Group challenges them with two selected ones: AKANE of Faro Barcelona and WAKUFU of Dresslight, with the coincidence that the two lamps evoke peculiarities of the oriental culture and are author's pieces. The fact of having two selected designs is cause for satisfaction and encouragement to continue with our philosophy to manufacture functional parts that, at the same time, thrill people.
