KOS NIDO.
Precision in every detail.
Freedom in light.
With the new KOS NIDO, KOMOT demonstrates just how versatile wall lighting can be. The opal glass sphere rests precisely in its porcelain holder – freely rotatable, continuously dimmable, and adjustable in light color.
A refined piece of engineering that reimagines the interplay of form and function – crafted from porcelain and glass, designed for spaces where design and craftsmanship become one.
Porcelain as an architectural element
At the core of the development was a clear design idea: The opal glass sphere of the KOS should retain its characteristic expression even when mounted on the wall—reduced, precise, and self-contained.
The porcelain mount plays a deliberately restrained yet essential role: it supports, frames, and protects. It conceals the technical components. It gives the luminaire stability—and at the same time, a place.
Unlike translucent porcelain objects, the focus here is not on light transmission. At the chosen material thickness, the porcelain does not allow light to pass through. Instead, it functions as an architectural body that houses the technology and sets the opal glass sphere free.
The name “NIDO”—Italian for “nest”—describes this principle precisely:
The mount forms the protected frame in which the light can unfold.
Precision in motion.
The KOS NIDO impresses not only with its formal clarity but also with its sophisticated technical design. The opal glass sphere is positioned at a 45° angle within the porcelain mount—carefully balanced between stillness and motion. Two integrated slip rings, invisible from the outside, allow the sphere to rotate endlessly by 360° within its mount. This enables precise light alignment without exposing cables or technical elements.
The porcelain mount itself is also movable: it can be rotated freely on the wall. In an instant, a subtle wall light transforms into a directional reading light or an accent spotlight for objects and art.
Like all luminaires in the KOS collection, the NIDO is intelligently conceived: the integrated KOS CONNECT module allows flexible adjustment of brightness and color temperature via app—tailored to time of day, usage, and atmosphere.

When light finds its place.
The lighting manufacturer KOMOT and the traditional porcelain manufacturer Reichenbach have combined their capabilities to jointly develop the wall mount for the KOS NIDO—the new wall luminaire expanding the KOS collection. What emerged is more than a component. It is the result of a dialogue on equal terms—between lighting technology and porcelain craftsmanship, between design intent and material expertise.
