Karman is an Italian company that creates both indoor and outdoor lighting. It was founded in Fossombrone, in the heart of Italy’s Marche region in 2005 from the creative insight and entrepreneurial spirit of Davide Diamantini. The roots may be Italian, but the company has a strong presence operating amongst international markets, including Canada. The unique, decorative identity that is such an important part of Karman means it stands out in the contemporary lighting scene.

In Karman’s collections, the confines between lighting and decoration become blurred, with both aspects becoming all the richer in their fun lighting projects that reinterpret classic shapes using materials and decorative touches that are seemingly at odds with one another.

You’ll find Karman perfect for commercial, hospitality, and residential, where in the past their products have expressed their style in areas such as offices, coffee shops, bistros, restaurants, resorts, and designer hotels. Their collections tell stories while adding a unique visual interest to the space, all while using a diverse range of materials and top tier lighting technology through a variety of lighting sources. Flux is very excited about being the representative for Karman in Ottawa & the surrounding area, and we can’t wait for you to experience their products on your next project!

Let’s take a look at a few of their fixtures…

PRODUCT SHOWCASE

LEDA

An LED with a feminine touch. The myth of Leda and the Swan is back in a brand new encounter of poetry and technology. A necklace of light composed of spheres and cylinders in anodized aluminium and with a flexible diffuser that lends itself to a variety of arrangements in both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Déjà-Vu / Déjà-Vu Nu

Something that belongs to us and flees from us at the same time. Like an old ceramic lamp, exploded by light. Modifying tradition and then letting it flutter away into the air. Overcoming gravity and going beyond the past, without forgetting it.

NOTREDAME

Recall the appeal of natural light spreading out through rose windows of Gothic cathedrals… In Notredame present and future coexist, as well as form and lighting: its poetical appearance hides a technological soul stirs very old emotions.

PLANCTON

Just like microorganism taken from sea streams, hanging in the air, carried by imagination…

AMSTERDAM

The Amsterdam lamp takes its rightful place in the fantastic and bright “Karman Zoo”: it’s inspired by a bulldog that has found its home in the Dutch capital city and become famous throughout the world…
