About Anima Landscape Lighting
Anima is an outdoor lamp designed for garden and landscape lighting. The main components are made of premium acrylic glass, which withstands temperature changes and physical impacts. Two decorative elements with a water pattern interact with integrated LED lights to create a caustic effect that recalls natural water. LEDs placed above and beside the acrylic parts give warm, diffused light directed upward and downward. The precision machined metal body houses an LED module with specialized optics. The lamp is 750 mm high and 170 mm wide.

- Production Technology
- The production of the Anima lamp combines advanced technologies and premium materials. The precision-machined metal body houses an advanced LED module with specialized optics.
Acrylic components are designed to diffuse and reflect light, creating a soft glow. The central acrylic element produces a distinctive caustic effect, interacting with integrated lighting sources to form the lamp’s unique pattern. Meticulous manufacturing ensures optimal light distribution and durability. - Design Challenge
- The designer conducted a thorough creative exploration to find a harmonious balance between form and decorative effect. The goal was to combine a robust construction with waterproof protection and natural motifs. After examining dozens of designs, the creator selected the most fluid form — one that evokes the gentle beauty of a sunset. The designer deliberately chose acrylic glass, reminiscent of water, as water is the source of life in any landscape. This combination creates a unique synergy between strength and delicacy, technology and nature.
- Research
- The development of the Anima landscape lamp was inspired by the desire to bring interior lighting trends into outdoor lighting design, aiming to merge landscape lighting with decorative illumination. Extensive research was conducted into various decorative lighting techniques, furniture design, and finishing materials. This comprehensive study led to the idea of using acrylic that resembles water, creating a caustic effect that adds a captivating visual dimension to the lighting experience.
