Contardi and Studio MKV Design present the new Discus collection, enhanced with significant aesthetic and functional improvements.
Contardi, in collaboration with Studio MKV Design, presents the new Discus collection, an elegant interpretation of high-end lighting, enriched with refined finishes and technical advancements. The updates reaffirm Discus as a benchmark solution in the industry, offering a perfect balance between contemporary style and high performance for both residential and commercial spaces.
“What unites my design approach with that of Contardi is the meticulous attention to detail and the constant pursuit of innovative solutions to overcome technical challenges. It was therefore natural to explore new possibilities together to further evolve the design of Discus while preserving its simplicity. These updates reflect an increasing focus on durable design, with the aim of creating a product that is not only beautiful but also long-lasting and versatile.” Maria Katsarou Vafiadis, founder of Studio MKV Design.
Discus includes pendant lamps, wall sconces, and ceiling lights, designed to integrate harmoniously into both residential and contract environments, from hospitality to commercial spaces. The new version features an opal diffuser that expands the light emission, improving light distribution and offering more uniform illumination.
Discus is available with a white lacquered or silk black matte lacquered frame, the center band is made with refined finishes such as satin brass, brushed bronze-nickel, polished nickel, and other options such as satin gold nickel, polished gold, and customizable colors from the RAL palette, or with trimmings and leather applications.
The collection offers a 3000 Kelvin lighting option for a warm and pleasant white light and is compatible with Triac, Dali, and 1-10V dimming protocols. Additionally, the integration of dynamic white technology allows the lighting to be adjusted to the specific needs of the environment or the time of day.
With the Discus collection, Contardi and Studio MKV Design redefine high-end lighting, offering versatile solutions that combine elegance, innovation and functionality for any space.
