Nova, a uniquely crafted wall lamp, is designed to seamlessly blend with its surroundings at Reach Cafe. Designed by Shell & Core, Nova’s form draws inspiration from simple, circular geometry, creating a harmonious visual rhythm that complements the cafe’s minimalist aesthetic. Crafted from the same tile material used in the flooring, Nova brings continuity to the space, making it feel cohesive and thoughtfully designed. The wall lamp emits a gentle, indirect glow, providing soft illumination that is easy on the eyes, making it ideal for relaxing settings like Reach Cafe.

The process of creating Nova was as refined as its design. The chosen tile material was carefully cut and shaped to match the lamp’s circular form, ensuring that the texture and color align perfectly with the flooring. This use of consistent materials across the space creates a sense of unity and calm. With its subtle glow and textured surface, Nova not only lights up the walls but also serves as an understated piece of art. This lamp is a true reflection of minimalist design philosophy, where form and function come together to enhance the overall ambiance without overwhelming the senses.
