kreon oran
kreon has been known as a designer of architectural lighting
since it was founded in 1983. Enlightenment that increases
the value of its environment and adds value to it, from inside
the architecture. The luminaire is only a detail, and will
not claim attention itself, but will let the architecture come
into its own. Reducing illumination to its essence, without
compromises, kreon is known for that. Products are simple
and minimalist forms that enter into a dialogue with the
space.
kreon oran takes a different approach, without losing sight of
the 3 basic principles, ‘unity in design, simplicity in technology
and precision in detail’.
kreon oran’s design is based on the mathematical and
architectural principle of the golden ratio, also known as
the plastic constant. The basic shapes that can be derived
from the proportions of the number are the building blocks of
this line of lighting fixtures. Designing from these balanced
proportions and principles means working with spatial
components. For kreon, oran claims space and actively
demands to be a part of it. The spaciousness of the product
is reflected in the proportions, but also in the dimensions and
materialization.
The lighting enters the room, and becomes part of it itself.
kreon oran brings a decorative ingredient to the kreon
portfolio. This range of luminaires exploit artisan materials
such as mouth-blown glass, alabaster and borosilicate glass
within pure and precise forms.
The kreon oran collection was not only inspired by
architecture. Nature too was a great source of inspiration.
With its geometrical patterns, the skeleton of the Venus’ flower
basket goes hand in hand with kreon’s designing process.
Venus’ flower basket is a sponge, which can be found in the
waters surrounding Japan. The shape of the sponge was
analysed and transformed into the unique form of oran craft’s
reflector inside the bulb.
