Minimalist lamps, and the idea of minimalism

Minimalism is a state of mind. It is a belief in the beauty and power of moderation. This is the art of conscious reduction and creating a space in which the main role is played by basic objects. Simple shapes, clean lines, sharp angles, smooth surfaces - they prove that excellent design can be based on the purest forms and still impress.

Designers of minimalist light fixtures such as Philippe Starck, Michael Anastassiades and Gregory Kay embody the ideas of minimalism, creating lamps in which simple, architectural lines replace rich ornamentation.

Minimalist lamps stand the test of time, as evidenced by the fact that some of the famous designs that continue to inspire designers who create in the spirit of minimalism date back to the early days of the De Stijl movement - an art grouping formed in 1917 and centered around a magazine of that name. Piet Mondrian, one of the leading representatives of the movement, published a series of articles in 1917 in which he laid out his views on art, defining neoplasticism - a new direction in art characterized by the use of vertical and horizontal lines that overlapped, dividing planes into squares and rectangles, and the use of three primary colors. It was the fundamentals of Neo-Plasticism - its rectangularity, use of pure colors, lack of decoration, and an attitude that rejected nature in favor of the works of human hands - that became the basis of the minimalist trend in design.

Minimalism versus functionalism

However, minimalism has much more to offer its users than just an aesthetic experience. Philippe Starck, the aforementioned designer who has been associated with the Kartell brand for years, believes in minimalism's mission of creating forms that are able to improve the lives of as many people as possible. To this end, this artist as often as possible returns to generic, primordial, basic shapes - those whose only task was to respond to a specific human need. Functionalism has for years gone hand in hand with minimalism, which, using the most limited form possible, aims to convey as much content as possible and be as useful as possible to its users.

So what minimalist lamps should be? Below we have collected some proposals that meet the assumptions, as well as the tasks of minimalist design. These lamps will easily fit into modern, streamlined interiors, adding a stylish touch without overwhelming them with their form.

Minimalist pendant lamps and plafonds

A perfect solution for those looking for minimalist lighting for their home are modern plafonds. As an example of such design, let us space collection, which includes both classic plafonds with diameters ranging from 38 to (up to!) 100 cm, as well as pendant lamps, based on the same form, with extremely light, almost invisible suspension.

Plafonds Space are characterized by minimalist colors and round lampshades with a frame of high-quality fabric. Their underside is made of high-quality plastic that imitates fine parchment, giving the effect of "soft" diffused light that warms the interior. The lampshade of the Space lamp is mounted with magnets to a metal base attached to the ceiling, so it can be easily removed to clean the lamp. Metal plate with evenly distributed six light sources, ensures its ideal dispersion.

More than a plafond - pure functionalism

Space plafonds are available in a variety of sizes, making them suitable for a range of applications and different rooms - from the corridor, to the living room, to the bedroom, to the dressing room. Moreover, their minimalist, simple form also allows them to be used as wall lamps. Such a minimalist wall sconce - especially in a larger group consisting of lamps of different sizes, will be an excellent, yet functional decoration of a minimalist living room. A small gap between the lampshade and the ceiling (or wall), gives a delicate, decorative glow, so that the plafond (or wall lamp) Space surprises the final effect great in the form of a delicate, luminous perimeter.

Ceiling spotlights - minimalist lamps for kitchens and living rooms

A great way to provide minimalist lighting for contemporary kitchen spaces as well as living rooms (and also corridors) are ceiling spotlights. Users can choose flush-mounted and surface-mounted luminaires, spotlights, as well as directional spotlights on rails. These types of fixtures do not interfere with the decor of the room, they melt into the surface of the ceiling (or contrast with it) and allow you to get both light that will act as a working light and accent light.

Example minimalist ceiling lamps is the Lumos lamp collection, which combines simple design with geometric - in this case cylindrical - forms. The fixtures, available in black and white, offer single, double and triple light sources, while movable rings housed in cylindrical housings allow the light output to be set at any angle. Modern, small, minimalist and elegant Lumos luminaires can be repeatedly duplicated to create interesting constellations that will illuminate the interior, without overwhelming it or interfering with the sparing style of the minimalist interior.

Simplicity and moderation are the strength of minimalism. It is in the lack, not the excess, that its beauty lies.
