Moono by Iva Mazmanishvili Wins Bronze in A' Lighting Industry Awards

SHRE Studio Pendant Sliding Light Recognized for Mechanical Control of Light Intensity and Direction

COMO, CO, ITALY, July 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The A' Design Award has announced Moono, a pendant sliding light created by Iva Mazmanishvili, as a Bronze winner in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category. The A' Design Award is one of the world's most prestigious and highly respected recognitions in the field of lighting design, drawing entries from designers, manufacturers, and brands across many nations. This designation acknowledges Moono as an outstanding example of good design, evaluated through a rigorous and impartial process. The recognition highlights the careful craftsmanship and thoughtful engineering that distinguish the work within the contemporary lighting field. It also reflects the standing of SHRE Studio, the Tbilisi-based practice behind the design, within the international design community.

The recognition of Moono carries meaning beyond its designer, addressing a growing interest in tactile, intuitive interaction with lighting within architectural spaces. As digital controls dominate much of contemporary lighting, Moono offers a manual alternative that allows users to physically shape both intensity and direction in real time. This approach aligns with industry movements toward material authenticity, durability, and user-centered design. For specifiers, architects, and interior designers, the fixture demonstrates how mechanical interaction can replace electronic systems while preserving a calm, sculptural presence. The design therefore provides practical value to professionals seeking refined, functional lighting objects that contribute to spatial atmosphere.

Moono is defined by its mechanical sliding construction, formed from two precisely milled wooden elements connected through a custom sliding mechanism. The moving lower component functions as a physical filter around the concealed LED source, enabling gradual transitions between diffused and concentrated light while maintaining a minimal silhouette. Solid oak and walnut, with optional brass or copper coverings, provide structural clarity and tactile warmth, while the power supply and lighting components remain hidden within the upper element for a clean architectural appearance. The concept draws inspiration from the way the moon filters and redirects light through its phases, subtly altering intensity and direction. This combination of manual control, precise craftsmanship, and quiet form distinguishes Moono as both a functional fixture and a spatial object.

The Bronze A' Design Award recognition may encourage SHRE Studio to continue exploring the relationship between mechanical movement and illumination in future lighting collections. The achievement reinforces the studio's commitment to turning regional design ideas into globally competitive products that reflect a modern Georgian aesthetic. It also supports the studio's broader ambitions, including the development of its Tbilisi-based collaborative Design Laboratory. The recognition serves as motivation for the team to pursue further innovation while maintaining its focus on craftsmanship, material honesty, and considered interaction.
