ANCORA is an elegant outdoor luminaire for decorative illumination.
Its unique construction (IP67 for surface mounted and IP68 for recessed version) and shape make it an
inevitable element of any exterior. The surface mounted wall or floor version is used for illumination of
facades, with different light sources applicable (fluorescent, LED stripes, LED point sources, LED RGB)
and optics (wide, medium, narrow and oval light beam). The possibility of installation of gear for lighting
management enables different dynamic or static lighting scenes. The recessed floor version is used
mainly for illumination of gardens and paths, while its construction blends perfectly with all types of
environment (plants, pebbles, concrete, tiles…). The recessed version has a wide range of different light
sources, optics and electronic gear, the same as the surface mounted version.
The housing is made of extruded aluminium, with elements of stainless steel, and glass/PC diffuser,
impact resistant. Standard housing colours are white, gray and black finestructured, while other colours
are available upon request.
ANCORA is the outcome of cooperation between BUCK and designer Rade Nikolić, and has won Good
design award 2011, been elected as German design award nominee 2012, as well as awarded for
designer solution by Belgrade Chamber of Commerce in 2010.
On the recently finished Green Building Expo held in Belexpocenter in
Belgrade, BUCK presented the concept of ecological illumination. BUCK’s
stand attracted a lot of attention, and most interest was expressed for our
Architectural lighting catalogue and LED energy efficient products.
In Munich, Germany, the representatives of BUCK and design studio
Kako.Ko were officially given the IF product design award for luminaire E.
Studio S, the interior of working studio, Francuska ulica, Belgrade
In the very centre of Belgrade, in Francuska ulica (French street), there are several buildings evoking
the spirit of old Belgrade. Among them lies an old double building, whose revival and reconstruction was
included in the detailed interior design project.
The working studio of Studio S is situated within a building, sited in the garden part. The atelier is
located in two different buildings adjacent one to another, dating one from the ‘20, the other from the
’60 of XX century. The atelier is divided into reception and working zones.
‘The capacity of the space we as professionals had on disposal was inspirational, so the assignment to
create our own work space was a real pleasure. Our intention was, while following the historical context
of the space, in the spirit of modesty, to create ambience where people would feel pleasant. We have
tried to reveal without hiding as much beauty as possible held within the space and emphasise it. Bare
ceiling, walls of used bricks going through the whole space as a joint shape element, combined with
clean white surfaces represent a characteristic of this ambience . The height is visually emphasised with
floors of different elevation and a steel gallery, making this space dynamic, both functionally and
visually. This ambience was an ideal occasion for both authors to express their passion for recycling of
objects and furniture. With simple and extremely effective ceiling linear luminaires (production and
design by BUCK), in both spaces, and the zone of acoustic ceiling in the reception zone, these details
create a harmonious unit.’ states Dragana Stevanovic, one of the authors.
One of the busiest streets in Belgrade, entrance from back yard, and view of the facades and roofs from
studio create a contrast which gives a special liking experience to all the visitors.
The interior of the working space has been awarded for best Interior on the 34th Salon of Architecture
with the theme: In the mirror: Come and look at yourself.
