Matter at the service of light.Designed by Elisa Ossino for De Padova, Helium is a modular lamp that explores transparency and light refraction through handcrafted glass enriched with fine sand powder. With elegant hues and a velvety texture, Helium blends aesthetics and technology.Its internal aluminum structure ensures stability without visible fixings, while slim soft-touch black joints subtly outline its shape. Helium emits a warm, dimmable light, creating an enveloping and sophisticated atmosphere.For Euroluce 2025, Helium is introduced in a new wall-mounted (applique) version, aintaining its modular spirit and allowing for customized lighting compositions. The result is a vibrant surface of light that integrates seamlessly with architectural space.
