The name Elara connotes astronomy and Greek mythology, and its geometric design mimics the trajectory of the planets within the universe. Inspired by astral motion, the lamp is characterized by two metal rings, one of which can be set at various angles to produce fluidity and movement, as well as a small sphere at the bottom of the lamp that contains the light source.

The light source emits a glow that can illuminate an entire room. Additionally, users can direct the bi-emission sphere – up or down – according to the need for light. The two sources have different light emissions: 2100 lumens and 800 lumens for the 2700 K version or 2260 lumens and 845 lumens for the 3000 K.

The central ring can be positioned to reach different heights and angles, allowing users to experiment with casting light and shadows.

Elara features a dimmer controlled with the wall-mounted power switch, allowing users to modulate the intensity of the light to create their ideal lighting scheme.

Available in two sizes, medium (Ø60 cm) and large (Ø 80cm), Elara suits a range of environments, such as over a dining table in a residential setting, or as part of a larger installation in public spaces like a hotel lounge or restaurant.

Architecture communicates through its shapes and lighting. For many cultures, the circle, with its suggestion of the planets, moons and other manifestations of nature, has a symbolic significance.

We’ve redefined simplicity. Incorporating circular luminous panels into your lighting design has never been easier.

Palito Mikado, Design by Michael Schmidt

for Sattler | Inter-lux

Michael Schmidt works as an international industrial and product designer. He graduated in Engineering from the University of Stuttgart in 1989, following which he completed a postgraduate degree in Investment Goods Design at the Stuttgart Academy of Arts.

The designer started his career in industry at Mercedes Benz and at DesignWorX where he redesigned the LOGO for the AUDI brand in 1994.

In 1996 he opened his own design studio in Stuttgart. Code2design comprises a team of designers from varying disciplines and cooperates with science and research institutes such as the Fraunhofer Institute.

Michael Schmidt and his team have been awarded over 40 prestigious design prizes, clients include Audi, Bross Italia, Falper, Haworth, Keramag, König+Neurath, Rehau, Sattler Lighting, Sick Engineering and Xal.

Michael Schmidt has come up with a winning formula for the code2design way of working: “Taking a 360-degree view on design projects”. The designer says of his strategy: “Our holistic 360-degree approach to design projects enables us to tap into the emotional value that motivates future decisions to purchase”.

As a result of this, Michael Schmidt and his design studio are able to create products with personality, products that tell a story. “In the same way that we enjoy the company of interesting, fascinating people, we also prefer products with appeal and objects with charisma. This elusive quality makes objects desirable, it is vital to the success of a product and for building a brand”.
