Lightbodies by Kilu. Limited Edition Lamps With Male and Female Human Forms.





The Lightbodies are life-sized human shapes made by artist Kilu. Male and female human forms become functional sculptures when their heads conceal vibrantly colored lightbulbs surrounded by a shade.

The shades made from multi-layered coated and foiled paper (black and gold foil for the males, white and silver foil for the females) and the lamps are equipped with 6' long cords.




They invite a sense of humor, as they become active participants in its surrounding space. Especially after dawn, the emitted light (pink for the woman, orange for the male) creates a mesmerizing, color-filled atmosphere.




There are presently four forms in the Lightbodies collection:

Female One:




75"x 33"x 26". Fiberglass, chrome finish, coated foiled paper, pink light. Limited edition of 200, numbered and signed.


Female Seated:




60"x 22"x 25". Fiberglass, chrome finish, coated foiled paper, pink light. Limited edition of 200, numbered and signed.


Male One:


78"x24"x21". Fiberglass, chrome finish, coated foiled paper, orange light. Limited edition of 200, numbered and signed.

Male Two:



78"x 30"x 23". Fiberglass, chrome finish, coated foiled paper, orange light. Limited edition of 200, numbered and signed.

The sculptural Lightbodies retail for approximately $4,150 USD. For all inquires please contact the artist at: info@kiluart.com

About the artist:
Kilu's artistic practice includes using light as both the source material and product of his work. He explores this intangible medium by transforming and combining casual objects into sculptures, which are then able to manipulate, capture and absorb the intrinsic values of light. His most recent experiments employ materials such as laser, fog and lucite to interpret light's proper ties by way of bold colors, shapes, and varying consistencies.

Kilu lives and creates in New York, where he relocated from Switzerland in 2006 after winning The Chelsea International Fine Art Competition. His accomplishments also include winning The Healing Power of Art award in 2007, as well as being exhibited in several solo and group shows in New York.

The Geco Lamp Blends the Distinction Between a Table, Wall & Floor Lamp.





Designed by Fabio De Silva and Jaime Lozoya, Geco is a new way of thinking about light: it's the height of versatility. Seven LED heads are mounted on two ribbons of flexible steel, fixed to "articulated" bases to "move" and create a curving shape. Geco adapts itself to every situation and brings light where, how and when you wish. Light only, no shadow: the light is not coming from only one source but it's wrapping the objects. They are lit in a complete and uniform way.





"For this innovative design we finally exploited new technologies: we were not content with a conventional use of new technologies. We endeavoured to realise a project of innovation. Geco is, actually, a turning-point in the conceiving process of a lamp: no more distinction among table, floor or wall lamp but just one only object to meet all requirements."



Geco is an actual step to energy saving. Each LED-head uses up 1.4W for a total of 9.8W for an unbelievable light output: 67 lumen per Watt (6 times a normal incandescent bulb). Geco uses the newest, US-born top-efficiency LED-heads: 5000K and 75 lumen (minimum guaranteed). Geco exploits all the qualities of LED technology made in the USA.






Lumina is aware of light technology's fast and continuous evolution, so they made it possible for you to replace each individual LED-head. In fact, if designed in the future, Lumina will offer LED-heads that are more efficient for lighting and energy saving. You will always have the opportunity to update Geco with the newest technologies available.

Lumina presents Geco in 3 finishes: white, black and graphite and has versions compatibile for Europe, The United States and Japan.
