Milan 2018: BEEM Now Open

If like us you’re curious to check out new design district Ventura Future, which opens today, make sure you mark BEEM – a new lighting brand from Samuel Wilkinson – firmly on your map.

Given the lighting market is currently dominated by retro-chic and an industrial aesthetic, BEEM is a breath of fresh air. Its premise is simple: clean, sculptural bulbs made using the latest in LED technology, unhindered by an ugly bulb setting. But as you can imagine from the complex forms, the technology behind the undulating lights is anything but simple.

BEEM is the brainchild of London-based designer Samuel Wilkinson and Chris Stimson and Bujar Shkodra, entrepreneurs and founders of well-lit. Its initial two designs – SMILE and CURLI – both soft-launch at Ventura Future today, located at Future Dome, Via Paisiello, 6. While SMILE is a U-shaped curve that hangs gracefully in the air, CURLI is a continuous asymmetric coil that twists around the bulb holder handing it from view.

Eco-conscious and with an incredible 30-year lifespan, BEEM looks set to be another game-changer for the lighting industry – something Samuel (the designer behind the Plumen) knows plenty about.
