Oikoioi

Oikoi, whose name is derived from the Greek term oikos indicating the house and the series of rooms composed by it, focuses its philosophy on the desire to rethink the ways of designing light through glass to transform household and contract spaces into mesmerising, fluid places in which personalised settings are created through the versatility of the light sources. For Oikoi, light becomes dialogue, method and material. The dialogue is the one that is established between the designers and the company to produce a contemporary and sophisticated product which faithfully mirrors the initial project in every detail. The method is the choice of an industrial-type production process to create objects that maintain the power of suggestion. The material, glass, makes the light tangible through its sophisticated textures and finishes. The processing is achieved by using the industrial printing technique which guarantees quality, perfection in the details and durability. The texture of the glass, visible on the lights, becomes a strong point making them functional and endlessly replicable, offering an alternative to the typical glass blowing method of the Italian artisan tradition. The materials used, glass and metal, are hard-wearing and fully recyclable, with all parts that can be replaced in the event of breakage. The company’s focus on sustainability and the environment is also evident in the decision to use flat packaging to transport the lights.
