Nataliya Naymark Receives Bronze A’ Design Award in Lighting Products and Fixtures Design for Matisse Blue
COMO, CO, ITALY, June 25, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The A’ Design Award has announced Matisse Blue, a modular floor lamp created by Nataliya Naymark, as a Bronze winner in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category. The A’ Design Award is one of the world’s highly respected and well-recognized recognitions in the field of lighting design, drawing entries from designers, manufacturers, and brands across many countries. This designation acknowledges Matisse Blue for its thoughtful development, creative use of materials, and careful balance of form and function. The recognition places the work among a selection of designs noted for professional execution and considered contribution to the lighting field. Matisse Blue translates a fine art reference into a functional lighting object suitable for contemporary interiors.
The Bronze A’ Design Award for Matisse Blue holds relevance for both the lighting industry and the people who live with lighting products every day. As interest grows in modular and adaptable home objects, Matisse Blue addresses a practical need by allowing users to change the height and density of the lamp over time. The design reflects current attention to durable, light-diffusing materials and considered thermal management. By combining color as an independent design system with measured light distribution, the work aligns with evolving standards in residential lighting. For users, this offers a lamp that can grow and adapt rather than remaining fixed.
Matisse Blue is a modular floor lamp composed of drop-shaped shades arranged on a metal core. Each part attaches to a central spine and is illuminated by internal led strips placed along the upper curve, leaving the lower portion of each shade in shadow to create a sense of depth. The blue volumes, shaped like leaves or petals, are inspired by the paper cut-outs of Henri Matisse and follow a natural growth pattern along a dark stem. The frame is steel with a matte black finish, while the shades are heat-formed from tyvek, a material chosen for its strength and its ability to diffuse light evenly while resembling hand-cut art paper. Simple attachments allow the lamp to appear as though it is expanding naturally.
This Bronze A’ Design Award recognition may encourage further exploration of modular lighting systems and the translation of two-dimensional art into three-dimensional illuminated forms within the studio’s practice. The result of research into color and light technology, full-scale modeling, and material calibration, Matisse Blue demonstrates an approach that can inform future projects connecting heritage references with contemporary production methods. The recognition serves as motivation for continued experimentation in balancing artistic inspiration with everyday utility. It supports ongoing work that links cultural memory with scalable, durable design solutions.
