Apex

The Apex cordless table lamp has been designed to provide a glare-free downlight and soft glow on the internal metallic cone, resulting in a warm ambient task light for hospitality or residential use. Created to be used as the central source of illumination on any table, the battery-powered and compact design facilitate flexibility in table settings and ease of cleaning. Sustainability is a big part of NEOZ's design ethos, as such the CNC metal body is assembled with only mechanical fixings, thus promoting self-maintenance, upgrade, and recycling by the end-user.

Spa Lighting Design

Friday, 7 August 2026

Euphoria Retreat

Euphoria Retreat is a lighting design created for a spa in Mystras, Greece. The spa is a four-storey building of 3,000 square metres, carved into the base of a mountain. The lighting of each space was treated as a unique element, supporting a gradual and calming sensory journey. Daylight varies greatly from one space to another, so custom luminaires were designed to imitate daylight conditions. The custom luminaires harmonise the transitions between spaces and enhance the immersive architecture.

Capsule Collection

Capsule Collection Volume 01 is a set of three luminaires made of glass, acrylic and metal. The io Pendant is shaped by gravity-fed glass extrusion, which turns a circular drawing into a ribbed cylindrical form. Components are hidden so the glass reflects and refracts the light. Halftone is a wall light with a pattern etched on translucent acrylic, which forms a ring of light while the wall stays visible. Orb is a wall light with an illuminated sphere and an adjustable magnifying mirror that moves around it, suited to use beside a bathroom mirror.

Sunac WandaRealm Kunming

Sunac Wanda Realm Kunming is a nightscape lighting design for a hotel complex built in an ancient Chinese architectural style. The lighting covers an area of 70000 square meters in Kunming, a historic city with a multi-ethnic culture. A warm white tone is used as the main color, with a uniform color temperature of 3000K. Wall washers, small spotlights and customized luminaires create washing and blooming effects. Brightness is graded by node to avoid a monotonous appearance. The design reflects local culture and keeps the ancient character of the architecture at night.

Corner Seating

Tuesday, 4 August 2026

Cornnie

Cornnie is a seating series designed for corner spaces. The series has three pieces that measure 1200 by 700 by 850 millimetres when placed together. Each seat is made of bendable plywood, glued and pressed on a mould milled by a CNC machine. Curved legs link each seat to the corner and suggest new ways to use the space. Cornnie lets users rest in corner areas and create a relatively personal space there without building a wall between each other. The intent is to offer a calm place to retreat within open shared environments.

Vortex

Vortex is a suspended fireplace designed for public and private spaces. The asymmetrical form of Vortex refers to the deformation of space and gives the fireplace a strong presence. Vortex offers two combustion options: traditional wood or an automatic bioethanol burner. The bioethanol version provides a real flame without smoke, ash or odours. Vortex is made of carbon steel, shaped by laser cutting and welding, and finished with heat resistant powder coating. The heat output ranges from 5.9 to 10.6 kilowatts.
