MODISS
Modiss Illuminacion embraces traditional Spanish design, adding to it a
sophisticated modern flair. Created in Barcelona by Alfonso Fontal, its
principal designer, Modiss brings extensive experience in the lighting
sector and offers contemporary classical, elegant products at reasonable
prices.
THE COMPANY
In 1994 Alfonso Fontal, a student of Industrial Design, submitted his
lighting creations to the Primavera del DiseƱo competition. His
extraordinary work was selected and displayed in Barcelonas Palau de la
Virreina. This public recognition prompted Alfonso to craft his
first lights using mirror and stand accessories, which he debuted with
great success at the International Lighting Fair. He then gathered a team
of enthusiastic young professionals to join forces to form Modiss
Iluminacion. In its short history, the exceptional designs of Modiss
artists have become benchmarks of the industry. The enormous success of
Modiss lights at domestic and international fairs has enabled the company
to grow, culminating in the move to its current location - an impressive
office space and show room in Poblenou, the artistic heart of Barcelona.
DESIGN
Modiss presents innovative design in its new collection, a fusion of retro
and avant-garde, which was presented at FIAM 2004. Modiss uses transparent
materials with a focus on delicate tonalities like beige, blue, pink and
white. Modiss plays with color, light and shapes, and creates unique and
comforting forms of light. |
