KAIA is introducing a new lighting and furniture capsule, first previewed at the 2024 Milan Design Week. The first collection, titled 'Empyrean,' includes a chandelier and a wall lamp, created in collaboration with The Guild of Saint Luke (GSL Works) and British designer John Whelan. This portion of the collection spotlights bright LED lights and a dynamic structure, while the Trap Lamp showcases polished stainless steel with honeycomb-like perforations.
Elsewhere, the 'Hearg' collection includes a table and a chair made from aluminum. The Hearg Table is inspired by the monolithic concrete structures of Euston Station in London, reflected in its robust leg design. Complementing the table, the Seld Chair features a sleek, uniform silhouette with back panels and a seat made of black leather.
Both KAIA collections are available for inquiry through the brand's website.
