Magfinity

Magfinity is a magnetic track lighting system for commercial and residential spaces. The system combines an angular linear track with a range of LED luminaires that connect magnetically. Fixtures snap into place without tools and can be detached, repositioned, or exchanged quickly. Each fixture gives a glare-free beam, and some can be rotated to direct light toward wall art, countertops, or hallways. The track can be recessed into the ceiling, suspended, or surface mounted. The aim was to simplify the installation of high-end lighting.

MABY Smart Lighting System

MABY is a modular smart lighting system designed for building decorative light sculptures. The system uses flat cells in four shapes: triangle, square, pentagon and hexagon. The cells connect to one another, so many different structures can be formed. Colored pattern plates, called MABY skin, attach to each cell to change its appearance. Brightness, color and on or off status are adjusted by touching the cells or by using a mobile application. The intent is to support creative expression at home for users of many ages.

Light Weaving

Light Weaving is an outdoor lighting installation shaped as a Christmas tree. The structure is made of laser cut stainless steel pipes forming 80 triangle units joined by more than 240 welded points. Acrylic yarn is woven by hand over the metal frame, following the weaving techniques of the indigenous people of Taiwan. Computer controlled LED lights and a light sensor adjust the colors to a timing system and to natural light, and the tone stays blue at midnight. The design brings delicate woven craft outdoors for public viewing.

Oplamp

Oplamp is composed of a ceramic body and a solid wood base on which an led light source is placed. Thanks to its shape, obtained through the fusion of three cones, the Oplamp's body can be rotated to three alternative positions that creates different types of light: high table lamp and ambient light, low table lamp and ambient light, or two ambient lights. Each configuration of the lamp’s cones allows at least one of the beams of light to interact naturally with the surrounding architectural settings. Oplamp is designed and made entirely by hand in Italy.

PlouNuvol

PlouNuvol is an interactive light installation shaped as a large inflatable cloud. Visitors enter the cloud and take part in a light and sound show. A conductor teaches a simple choreography that turns the body into a percussion instrument. The sounds recall the phases of rain and trigger light effects inside the cloud. Artificial fog and ten tons of salt on the floor reflect the colors of the walls. The outer skin is made of flame retardant polyester with a PVC coating, so the show is also visible from outside.
