LightCo

Established in 2006, LightCo has become a trusted resource for interior designers and architects, representing some of the finest lighting brands from around the world.

This means architects and designers can now access LightCo’s extensive range of lighting products directly within Programa - no extra websites or catalogues needed. To mark the launch, LightCo’s director, Dario Dal Ponte, has spoken to us about their products, brand, and 2025, highlighting this new collaboration (and the exciting products it brings to the platform).

LightCo’s launch on Programa’s Trade Portal gives you instant access to high-quality lighting options with practical workflow benefits. Designers and architects can now move from inspiration to specification: for instance, after watching LightCo’s video with Dario or discovering a new pendant light on the portal, you can immediately add that product to your project plan.

The Buoy Double Cone and Moby Dick pendants are just two highlights – a taste of the broader LightCo collection now at your disposal. Feel free to explore LightCo’s listings on Programa and incorporate these lighting pieces into your next project schedule. With useful tools like 'Add to Schedule', Programa continues to make the process of turning design ideas into reality simpler and more real-world efficient for you .

Moby Dick Pendant Light by Karman

The Moby Dick Pendant Light is an expressive design by Italian brand Karman that brings a bit of literary inspiration into the room. Designed by Matteo Ugolini, this pendant was directly inspired by the legendary white whale from Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. The light’s form resembles a whale’s graceful bulk with a flowing, curved profile and subtly frayed edges. It’s made entirely of white fiberglass – smooth on the outside and rough-textured on the inner surface – which creates a soft, diffuse glow when illuminated .

The result is a dramatic yet functional light that can anchor a space without feeling overbearing. Available in both medium and large sizes, the Moby Dick pendant can be used as a single sculptural accent or grouped in a pod for impact.

With LightCo’s Trade Portal debut, you can find the Moby Dick pendant in Programa and drop it straight into your lighting schedule , complete with all its specifications. This makes it easier to communicate design intent to clients and contractors - they’ll see the exact product reference, and you’ll save time on manual spec writing.

Buoy Double Cone Pendant Light by Bomma

The Buoy Double Cone Pendant Light is a striking contemporary fixture inspired by maritime markers. Its designer took cues from the glowing buoys that mark safe harbours, translating that idea into a double-cone crystal form intersected by a vertical light source. The pendant combines clean geometric shapes with impressive hand-blown glass craftsmanship, resulting in a piece that provides both illumination and sculptural interest.

Now that LightCo is on Programa, you can easily specify the Buoy Double Cone Pendant in your projects – for example, as a focal light over a dining area or a statement piece in a lobby – simply by adding it from the Trade Portal into your project schedule.

All the product details (dimensions, materials, lamp type, etc.) are already there, ready to support your documentation and ensure you get the fixture exactly as intended.
