AMBIENT ’25. Corda Lighting attracted attention with the Tesla Tower lamp

• Corda Lighting presented itself at the largest interior design fair in the region – with strong visitor interest and announcements of new collaborations

At this year’s Ambienta 2025 , the largest regional fair for furniture, interior design and related industries, Corda Lighting had an exceptionally successful appearance. The fair was held from 9 to 13 October at the Zagreb Fair and brought together more than 200 exhibitors from 21 countries. In such competition, Corda attracted the attention of visitors and the industry with its recognizable signature – handmade lighting fixtures and an emphasis on the possibility of completely adapting the product to the space.

“The interest was beyond our expectations. Numerous architects and investors approached us with specific inquiries and proposals for cooperation, which shows that the market is increasingly recognizing the value of domestic design and production,” said John Robert Župan , representative of Corda Lighting. According to him, Ambienta was the ideal opportunity to confirm that personalized lighting is no longer a luxury, but an expected standard in contemporary interior design.

Tesla Tower Table, the center of interest for visitors

The most attention of visitors was attracted by the Tesla Tower Table lamp , a table lamp made of aluminum, 550 millimeters high, available in black and white. With its minimalist shape and the ability to choose the color and length of the cable, the lamp combines pure functionality with designer elegance. Inspired by Tesla’s experiment with the tower, this lamp subtly evokes the theme of energy, innovation and the modern identity of Croatian design.

“Tesla Tower became a kind of symbol of our presence. People reacted immediately – they took pictures of it, asked about technical details, asked about the price and customization options. We even had several offers for cooperation during the fair itself,” adds Župan.

Corda also displayed a range of new lampshades and lighting examples for hotels, holiday homes and catering spaces at its exhibition space, emphasizing the breadth of its offering and the flexibility of its production approach.

A fair dedicated to sustainability and personalized design

This year’s Ambienta was all about sustainability, energy efficiency and thoughtful space design. Most exhibitors emphasized natural materials, LED technology and solutions that give users complete control over light and atmosphere. In this context, Corda Lighting fit in perfectly – its products are created in small batches, to order, with a high level of processing and the ability to combine materials such as metal, glass and fabric.

“Our goal is not just to produce a lamp, but to create light that has character. Every lamp leaves the workshop with a story – and that’s exactly what visitors recognized,” Župan points out.

Ambienta as confirmation of direction

Participation in Ambienta 2025 represents more than just a successful appearance for Corda. The fair confirmed the company’s position among the recognizable domestic manufacturers of designer lighting and opened new doors for cooperation. Numerous contacts made, positive reactions from visitors and growing interest from architects and designers signal that Corda is increasingly establishing itself as a synonym for custom lighting in Croatia.

“Events like this are important to us because they connect us with people who understand that light is part of the identity of a space, not just a technical detail. After Ambienti, we have a lot of reasons for optimism,” concludes Župan.
