"One of the key challenges was to find the right balance between the raw, natural elements of the forest and the refined, contemporary design we envisioned for the chalet. We wanted the Forest Lodge to feel rooted in its environment — warm, authentic — while still offering a sense of surprise and sophistication.
That search led us to carefully select every material, shape and light source. It’s in this process that we saw a great opportunity: to use design as a way to tell a story. Lighting played a crucial role — especially in the master suite, where we needed softness and poetry.
Choosing Clizia Mama Non Mama Suspension Gold by Slamp was a natural decision. It brought the sculptural quality and delicacy we were missing.
In the end, the main opportunity was to elevate the space without overwhelming it — letting each piece add meaning and texture to the overall atmosphere."

"We discovered Slamp while researching lighting brands that combine design innovation with a poetic, sculptural approach. We were looking for something more than functional lighting — we wanted pieces that could become part of the experience, almost like visual punctuation within the space.
When we came across the Clizia Mama Non Mama collection, it immediately stood out. The delicate petals, the play of light and shadow, the sense of levitation — it was exactly what we needed for our master suite: something soft, elegant, but with character.
Slamp offer the perfect balance between creativity, quality and presence. It wasn’t just about illuminating the space, it was about elevating it."

"Light is everything — especially in spaces that are meant to welcome, inspire, or soothe. In a domestic or hospitality environment, lighting sets the mood before anything else. It defines volumes, softens edges, guides the eye, and creates emotional resonance.
At Forest Lodge, where natural materials and large windows connect the indoors to the forest, we wanted artificial light to complement that connection — not compete with it. We consider lighting not just a functional necessity, but a tool to shape atmosphere and reveal the soul of a place. A well-designed luminaire becomes part of the narrative — and when that light interacts with textures, shadows, and architecture, it brings the space to life."
