Haibu from Paolo Castelli is a family of lamps designed to create lightscapes in both public and private outdoor spaces. Based on principles of production and respect for the natural environment in which they are placed, the Haibu suspension lamps, made entirely of stoneware, create atmospheres of well-being and relaxation, imbued with just the right touch of privacy and intimacy.
With a silhouette that interprets the relationship between object, space, and nature, freely inspired by the shape of a beehive, Haibu enhances shared and meeting spaces with dynamic scenic effects, creating human-scale experiences. Cutting-edge technology and materials with a natural feel are the key elements that define this ambitious project, realized in collaboration with WASP, an Italian company specializing in the design and production of 3D prints.
For the first time applied in the luxury furniture sector, stoneware undergoes an innovative 3D printing process to transform into outdoor lamps that emit warm and comforting light. During printing and drying, the material naturally folds in on itself, creating a pattern of fissures that allow gentle beams of light to emerge. The refined design seamlessly integrates with the material’s inherent properties, resulting in a durable lighting system that draws inspiration from and respects nature. Available in two versions – one elongated and tapered, the other lower and wider – it can be used individually or in series to create multiple points of light and enhance any environment.
