Ohm Lighting Collection
Design by Kauppi & Kauppi for Ifö Electric 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2024
A celebration of the material, production and the century long heritage of Scandinavia’s only factory producing pressed porcelain
The Ohm collection by Ifö Electric, is a grand porcelain lights collection for all kinds of situations and installations - indoors as well as outdoors. Developed to harmonize with modern architecture, as well as turn-of-the-century buildings, houses and homes. Inspired by old porcelain insulators and connection boxes, the soft curves and restrained silhouettes references the company’s century long legacy as Scandinavia’s only press porcelain producer remaining today.
The award-winning Ohm collection has become a beloved favorite amongst international architects, due to its durability, functionality and enduring design. Whenever there is a need for timeless, splash safe light fixtures with exceptionally long life-cycle, Ohm has proven to be a reliable choice. Neither wind, water, nor strong sunlight will change the glazed porcelain surface.
The collection includes splash safe light fittings for walls, ceilings, facades and even a special heat proof range for sauna interiors. The designers Kauppi & Kauppi also introduced three new assortment categories within the collection - the company´s first table lamp, first splash safe pendant and fixture mounted on arm.
Porcelain fixtures are renowned for their exceptional durability, making them ideal for reuse. Since the 1960s, Ifö Electric luminaires have been designed with modularity in mind, allowing all technical components to be disassembled, cleaned, repaired, or upgraded. This adaptability ensures that the fixtures can keep up with the evolving lighting technology and remain relevant over time.
“We like to see our design process with Ohm as 'Slow Design'. Construction, tooling and preparations for pressing porcelain takes time, but is also allowed to take time. The extensive efforts are made with a long-term holistic perspective in mind. Once the products are done, they will exist and function over a great period of time. Porcelain luminaires will survive styles and trends with a potentially longer lifecycle than many buildings.” – Kauppi & Kauppi
