Samuel Parker patented a new form of plastic in 1992 called Opalflex© - unique in luminosity, flexibility and resistant to discoloration from age and heat.

Within three years he had created Slamp, and 13 internationally acclaimed designers had produced the Atelier collection.

The Fiorella, Ginetta and Medusa chandeliers are designed by Nigel Coates, the innovative British architect who also teaches at the Royal College of Art.
