Outdoor lights from the manufacturer Karman in 2025
When it comes to both outdoor and indoor lighting, Karman’s philosophy is based on the triad “Being, Surprising, Creating”.
“Being” reflects the brand’s desire to dream and inspire dreams, while being based on the concreteness of design and “Made in Italy” quality.
“Surprise” stands for light sculptures that fascinate and inspire. “Creating” emphasizes that each lamp is the result of a creative process – a materialized memory, a feeling evoked by the interplay of light and shadow.
It is this alchemy that brings Karman’s outdoor lights to life, lighting installations in which the decorative component seamlessly merges with the technical mastery.
Through its shape and choice of materials, each lamp tells a light story that can enhance any location.
Now let’s explore 5 outdoor lighting ideas that can inspire you and are tailored to your design needs and the concept you want to develop.
The Karman Nilo – a flexible and delicate light stick
The Karman Nilo outdoor light designed by Matteo Ugolini is characterized by its impressive character. A slim, flexible aluminum stem carries a light source at its tip – a diffuser made of matt white resin.
A design reminiscent of summer afternoons and the silhouette of rushes, light, slender and graceful aquatic plants.
Available as a floor, ground spike or wall lamp, Nilo offers great design freedom and adapts to the intended use and lighting goals of private homes, hotels, catering areas, event venues and restaurants.
A composition of floor lamps placed along a path or entrance welcomes guests with a magical and elegant atmosphere.
A series of spikes arranged between flowerbeds and shrubs bathe the garden in a warm and romantic light. This shows how strategic lamp placement can highlight structural or natural elements that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Karman Moby Dick: a sculptural suspension made of white fiberglass
The Karman Moby Dick collection, also by Matteo Ugolini, is completely different – a sculptural pendant lamp whose lines are reminiscent of the profile of the whale of the same name. True to the inspiration, the frayed edges evoke the spray flowing over the whale’s back. The diffuser is made of white fiberglass, rough on the inside and smooth on the outside, giving off a warm, intimate and discreet light. Surprisingly sophisticated in its disarming simplicity, this lamp is perfect for illuminating a veranda or the tables of an exclusive seaside restaurant. Their innate, delicate elegance makes them an extremely versatile solution, ideal for enhancing different environments and styles, be it through harmony or contrast.
Karman Don’t Touch: multisensory outdoor lamps
Among Karman’s solutions, the Don’t Touch floor lamp perfectly embodies the provocative and unconventional spirit of the brand and designer Matteo Ugolini.
The name “Don’t Touch” ironically underlines the irresistible curiosity that this lamp arouses, coupled with the uncontrollable instinct to reach out and touch it.
Several white, soft-touch PVC rods protrude from a hemispherical base made of gray technopolymer, imitating glowing stems.
The concept is playful and inspired by the world famous oriental game Shanghai. The floor lamp is also characterized by its versatility. The rods can be folded into an elegant bundle of light using an O-ring. The possibilities for enhancing private and commercial outdoor areas with Don’t Touch are endless. For example, a series of lights can define the edge of a swimming pool and add poetic accents. Or at the edge of a driveway to lead guests along an unforgettable path. Or next to a centuries-old olive tree to emphasize its power and create an interesting contrast between old and new.
