Touch as a driver

The ISP does not have a traditional switch or dimmer - the light is controlled with the touch of a hand. This interactive principle changes the common perception of luminaires and engages the user in a game with light, where every movement of the hand can turn darkness into a bright spatial beam.

A mechanical and aesthetic gem

Despite its futuristic appearance, the ISP is a masterfully crafted mechanical design. A brass capsule protects the intricate mechanism that turns a simple touch into light, combining technology, art and design in a single elegant object.

Designed by Ilia Sergeevich Potemine

Ilia Sergeevich Potemine is a Russian designer with Italian roots who surprisingly combines a dual profession - he is not only a designer but also a pilot. The sky is his playground, the sun is his revolutionary star, and he only works on the ground during short "stopovers" during which he creates extravagant lighting quite different from the mainstream. In his work, he is momentarily reminiscent of Howard Hughes, but his creative freedom knows no bounds - inspired by the radical spirit of Achille Castiglioni, he brings innovative lights of the future. At only 30 years old, Ilia Potemine confirms that his ISP lamps are not only a design object, but a manifesto of unconventional creativity.

"You might think he's a designer. He's actually an airline pilot. The sky is his playground, the sun is the revolutionary star, and he only descended to this earth for a brief stopover."
