Finding serenity and delight in the joyous rituals of communion and connection while gathering for a meal and conversation, the dining space becomes the locus of heartwarming intimacy and transcendent union in the home, where close friends and cherished loved ones descend on the moments that usher comfort and jubilation, uniting the senses in touching displays of laughter, tenderness, and shared experiences. The collective bonds unveiled in these treasured encounters are made poignant and palpable through the objects and atmospheres that envelop them, and that’s why at Luminaire the table is set with all that is needed to enhance the mood and craft the narratives that make dining an exalted event to relish and remember as a time when harmony congregates and profound connections between others and the environment reigns.
At Luminaire, the art of dining is transformative and sensual, elevating the everyday to a happenstance of the elegant and refined, the familiar and the novel. From furnishings by the likes of Desalto, with expressive elegance and harmony of proportion, and Porro, who manifests dream environments showcasing wood in remarkable and surprising ways, to lighting that shapes an ambiance of tranquility and clarity be it from Ambientec, who composes light as a hymn of closeness and contentment, or Flos, who breathes a virtuosity in revolutionary designs, Luminaire exhibits pieces that touch our souls and enrich the senses with lush materiality and visual appeal. Whether seated at the enigmatic and robust Element table from Tokujin Yoshioka, where his explorations of crystals manifest as an object which appears to defy gravity, floating on a single angled leg, or flocking to the sleek and unassuming Metallico table by the legendary Piero Lissoni which expresses a dazzling geometry in thin lines and expansive planes, passing a plate from the De Collection that mesmerizes the eyes with its play on light and shadow, or using handheld pleasures from Zaha Hadid that caress the palm with delight and accoutrements from the award winning Alessi that craft mixed drinks in a balanced synthesis between shape and function, dining becomes a metamorphosis of the poetic and inclusive, where beautiful objects act as the catalyst for shared pleasure and ecstasy of the ordinary and the rites of a meal are revealed as exuberant and discerning.
Some pieces in the Luminaire dining collection are enduring and classic, like the Skygarden light from contemporary tastemaker Marcel Wanders, the Lovatt Beaker for Serax or the Dry cutlery set from modern master Achille Castiglioni, while others are unique with a touch of whimsy, like the Seasons Serving Trays from Nao Tamura that echo the charm and flexibility of a leaf in their award-winning design, or the effortlessly elegant Cachalot lamp, designed to mimic the grace and quietude of a whale’s movement, yet all are time-tested and eschew the temporal, making for pieces that herald joy for a lifetime and can be passed down for generations. With forms that enchant, textures that inspire, and a usability that is at once seamless and bewitching, encounters at a Luminaire dining space are eternally rousing and cultured to create moments that impress sensations and opens minds, transforming the ritual of serving and sharing with guests truly jovial, distinguished, gracious, and one of a kind.
