Ohm Wall – Launch February 2024
Ohm Collection by Ifö Electric celebrates five years with a new splash safe porcelain luminaire mounted on arm – for any exterior and interior.
Ifö Electric proudly presents Ohm Wall, a new splash safe luminaire launching in 2024. A new addition to the highly appreciated Ohm luminaire family and the company´s first fixture mounted on arm – marking the five-year anniversary of the award-winning collection. A luminaire developed to harmonize with modern architecture, as well as
turn-of-the-century buildings, houses and homes. The Ohm collection with its soft curves and restrained silhouettes is designed by Kauppi & Kauppi, honoring the company’s century long heritage, modular approach and unique manufacturing since 1934.
Introducing Ohm Wall 2024
Ifö Electric has a great tradition of manufacturing splash safe porcelain luminaires and sconces, to be installed directly on to facades, walls or ceilings. Ohm Wall with its emphasized vertical expression mounted on arm, adds a new motif and lighting archetype to the company range. The luminaire is elegantly drop-mounted to an extended metal arm, highlighting the porcelain, and bringing out the very best of the high gloss glazed durable material. The new metal component is sand casted in recycled aluminum, casted in Sweden.
The new Ohm Wall luminaire, with its vertical design and wide range of opal and clear glass shades, offers a great versatility for various settings. The fixture is mounted offset from the wall, utilizing the backdrop material as a reflector. The result is a pleasant and softly graded light that accentuates the surrounding interior or exterior. Designed to be splash safe and flexible in use and expression, Ohm Wall will easily adapt to placements on outdoor facades as well as indoor spaces – including kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms.
“Our vision was to design a lighting collection that can stand the test of time and adapt to all types of styles, beyond trends. A silent but clear whispering design that is functional, modular and responsive. We have been longing for the new Ohm Wall and the light qualities that comes with the verticality, and we are happy to see the combination of the long-lasting porcelain, illuminated glass and sand-casted aluminum complement and contrast each other.” – Kauppi & Kauppi
Modularity & Functionality
All new and previous Ohm luminaires are designed with modularity and adaptability in mind, sharing porcelain bases and a glass shade program across the entire collection, binding together the collection and the different areas of use. The porcelain bases come in two sizes, high gloss glazed in black or white. The white opal glass shade comes in two heights. One for a short dense appearance, and a long shade for a more stretched silhouette. The clear glass option gives a warm and airy ambience, revealing the high gloss glazed luminaire construction.
Porcelain fixtures are renowned for their exceptional durability, making them ideal for reuse. Since the 1960s, Ifö Electric luminaires have been designed with modularity in mind, allowing all technical components to be disassembled, cleaned, repaired, or upgraded. This adaptability ensures that the fixtures can keep up with the evolving lighting technology and remain relevant over time.
The Ohm Collection
The Ohm collection by Ifö Electric was launched in 2019, designed by Kauppi & Kauppi. A grand porcelain lights collection aimed for all kinds of situations and installations – indoors as well as outdoors. Inspired by old porcelain insulators and connection boxes, celebrating the company’s century long legacy as Scandinavia’s only press porcelain producer remaining today.
The luminaire collection has become a beloved favorite amongst international architects, due to its durability, functionality and enduring design. Whenever there is a need for timeless, splash safe light fixtures with exceptionally long life cycle, Ohm has proven to be a reliable choice. Neither wind, water, nor strong sunlight will change the glazed porcelain surface.
The collection includes splash safe light fittings for walls, ceilings, facades and even a special heat proof range for sauna interiors – making Ohm a great tool for connecting all kinds of spaces through porcelain luminaires. The designer duo Kauppi & Kauppi also introduced two new assortment categories within the collection – the first table lamp, as well as the first splash safe pendant by Ifö Electric.
