The aim of Rhône-Alpes lighting manufacturer Luz Eva is to create lights and lamps that are simple, original, honest and durable and which can easily fit in a wide range of interior spaces.

Among their style ranges are Urban, Graphic, Nordic, Industrial and Pop – so there is something to suit all tastes.

Their other unique creative angle involves embracing social and environmental engagement.

As for accessibility, that comes from the pricing. The model shown in lacquered metal is Pims, and costs €72.
