Light has always been design’s most underrated material. We talk endlessly about furniture, textiles, and surfaces, but light? It usually plays the supporting role, the thing that makes everything else look good. Preciosa Lighting is quietly changing that conversation, and their latest collection, Drifting Lights, might be the most convincing argument they’ve made yet.
The Czech brand has been doing this long enough to know the difference between novelty and genuine craft. Their heritage is rooted in traditional glassmaking, but what they’ve built with Drifting Lights feels like a very deliberate step forward. Each piece is made up of oblong and square glass panels slotted into a stainless-steel frame that discreetly conceals an LED strip. Inside each panel, the glass has been infused with countless tiny air bubbles. When light passes through, it doesn’t just illuminate the glass. It gets lost in it, scattering through those bubbles in a way that looks less like electricity and more like light deciding where it wants to go.
Designer: Preciousa Lighting
For Milan Design Week 2026, Preciosa is bringing the full Drifting Lights experience to the Tempesta Art Gallery in Brera, and the scale alone is worth paying attention to. The installation spans approximately 30 square metres and features 60 glass panels suspended vertically and horizontally, forming a structure measuring 8.7 by 3.2 by 3 metres. Set against a dark interior, the panels will be animated using 3D spatial mapping and RGBW technology, cycling through colour sequences from red to pink to green. Co-Creative Directors Michael Vasku and Andreas Klug put it plainly: the installation aims at “creating space to slow down, pause and wonder.”
I appreciate that framing, because Milan Design Week is genuinely relentless. Every brand is competing for the loudest moment, the most shareable installation, the boldest statement. There is a real temptation to optimise for the 15-second video clip rather than the actual experience of standing in a room. Preciosa is betting on the opposite, and I think that’s the smarter play. The colour sequence from red to pink to green reads like an emotional arc rather than a tech demo, referencing love, passion, and inner peace. Whether or not you buy the symbolism, you can’t argue with the atmosphere it creates.
A design object earns its place when it works just as well outside a gallery as inside one, and Drifting Lights has clearly been thought through on that level. The panels come in ten sizes, with different metal frame finishes and the option to orient them vertically or horizontally. The same collection can fill a grand hotel lobby or anchor a living room without losing its character. For bespoke projects, Preciosa can apply a painting technique that introduces pigment bubbles into the glass, giving each panel a layer of quiet individuality. The bubbled glass can also be enhanced with their Fused Veil pattern, which shifts the direction of light and adds even more visual complexity.
Under static illumination, Drifting Lights is calm and composed. Switch to dynamic mode and the panels come alive, with light moving from one to the next like ink dispersing through water. The gradients bloom, soften, and recombine. It’s the kind of effect that makes you stay in a room longer than you planned, which is, ultimately, what great lighting is supposed to do.
Preciosa has had a strong run at Fuorisalone in recent years, with recognised installations at Zona Tortona and Euroluce. The move to Tempesta on Foro Buonaparte suits the work well: a contemporary art gallery setting that lets the installation breathe without competing with showroom furniture. It’s a confident choice for a collection that clearly doesn’t need much help making a room feel different. If you’re heading to Milan, the installation runs April 20 to 26 at the Tempesta Art Gallery on Foro Buonaparte, and this one is worth the detour.

Most office chairs operate on a quiet assumption that sitting is something your body should adapt to, not the other way around. You adjust the height, nudge the lumbar support into roughly the right position, and then spend the rest of the day subtly fighting the chair anyway. The ache between your shoulders, the stiffness in your lower back by mid-afternoon, that’s just part of the deal, apparently, and most of us have accepted it without much argument.
LiberNovo decided not to accept it. The result is the Omni, a chair the company calls a Dynamic Ergonomic Chair, and it just picked up the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 in the Product Design – Beauty/Wellness category. The iF Design Award has been one of the most internationally respected design recognitions since 1954, with this year’s cycle drawing more than 10,000 entries from over 60 countries. That’s a serious field to stand out in

The core idea behind the Omni is that your posture doesn’t stay fixed throughout a workday, so your chair probably shouldn’t either. The Bionic FlexFit Backrest is built around that logic, using 16 spherical pivot points, 8 adaptive flexible panels, and 14 dual-connection points to follow the natural curve of your spine as it shifts. It covers you from the hips up through the shoulders, spreading pressure across the whole back rather than piling it onto one fixed lumbar point.
What makes this work in practice is the Dynamic Support system, which adjusts automatically to changes in your posture without you having to reach for anything. Lean forward during a focused stretch of work, sit back when you’re thinking something through, the chair tracks those shifts, and responds in real time. It’s the kind of feature that sounds modest until you realize how much of your day you’ve spent adjusting a chair that couldn’t do this.
Then there’s OmniStretch, which is where the Omni starts to feel like something genuinely different. Sitting for long hours compresses the lower spine gradually, and most chairs just let that happen. OmniStretch is a guided decompression feature that gently stretches the lower spine during the workday, designed to actively relieve pressure rather than simply tolerate it. It’s probably why the iF jury placed the Omni in the Beauty/Wellness category: this chair isn’t just holding you up, it’s doing a bit of recovery work along the way.
The Omni also offers four recline positions running from 105 to 160 degrees. The shallower end is built for focused, upright work, while the deep 160-degree Spine Flow position is designed for full spinal decompression between sessions. The two intermediate angles cover the range in between, which gives the chair a kind of daily rhythm that matches how most people actually move through their hours rather than sitting rigidly in one position all day.
The chair was developed by LiberNovo’s team in Shenzhen alongside industrial design firm Kairos Innovation, also based there. Winning an iF award is meaningful external confirmation that the design thinking behind the Omni translates beyond the product brief. For a chair that started from the premise that desk work doesn’t have to hurt, that’s a pretty good place to land.
