The interior innovation award gives prominence to outstanding achievements in the furnishing sector. In addition to design and technology, this includes new kinds of material and solutions in detail, as well as outstanding product concepts and success in the market.  The nanoo ceiling light nan17 was allocated in the categorie «Best Item» and «Materials Innovation» and the bookshelf nan15 in the categorie «Best System».

nanoo is different from other collections in various respects. As a spin-off from the company Faserplast AG in Rickenbach TG, Switzerland, nanoo profits from almost 40 years of experience in the industry. Technical solutions form an integral part of the know-how as does expertise in working with diverse materials. In the area of formal and technical design, nanoo works with distinguished professionals and promising talents. The collaboration with designers is seen as a long-term investment. It is a declared aim to work on new topics with excellent people over an extended period of time and to develop promising solutions together.

The ceiling lamp nan17 was created on the basis of a specific need. The architectural team Meier Leder from Baden commissioned the designers Jörg Boner and Christian Deuber to develop a light concept for one of their exceptional buildings. Following an architectural competition, the institutional residence was realised. The lamp was one of the main elements of the light project as it was developed specifically for this object. High standards of aesthetics and light qualities led to a period of development and continuous improvement lasting more than two years. The formal starting point was an environment which is normally feared for its dusty textile lampshades: the pleated structure. Through contemporary aesthetic and technical formulation a surprising contrast with a new quality was created. The lamp consists of individual tin slats arranged in a circle to form a conical lampshade.

The light emerges downward as direct light through an opaque sheet of Perspex. An indirect light situation is created towards the ceiling, and an atmospheric surround light through the arrangements of the slats on the external shell.
The first sixty lamps now contained in the building met with an enthusiastic reception. Due to the great success of the atmospheric light, nanoo then decided to develop the product further for specialist shops. It has found its way from a large public building into attractive residential surroundings.

This hanging light consists of tin slats that form a translucent structure. The assembled parts form a lampshade. The resulting light is soft and atmospheric.
Specifications: sheet steel 0.7 mm, colour powder-coated

Following its excellent reception as a ceiling lamp (nan17), this new interpretation of the ‘fabric structure’ is now available to the public in the form of a standard lamp. The lampshade stands on a white stainless steel tube. A concrete socle, either in white or naturally coloured concrete, creates an emphatic natural base for the atmospheric light.
