Design celebrates the International Day of Light

May 11, 2020

The 39th session of the UNESCO General Conference in 2017 proclaimed the date to celebrate the "International Day of Light" (IDL) every year on May 16th. This date was chosen in memory of the first laser light obtained by Teodoro H Maiman
on May 16, 1960.


The importance of Light in the life of each individual is undoubtedly and not only natural light, but also that which is found in all cases and offices, where much of human existence is spent. Modern technologies have significantly contributed to the design of solutions capable of illuminating any type of environment, both residential and office, and also the design has led to the creation of decorative and professional products, increasingly protagonists in the different spaces.
In the decorative field, the lighting solutions required by the brand stand out, such as Blueside Emotional Design, Talenti, Carl Hansen & Son and Stilnovo.


Blueside Emotional Design

Blueside Emotional Design, with the collaboration of the architect Sabrina Masala who designed it, has created Medusa - Soffio di Luce, a battery lamp with adjustable intensity, which combines refinement and uniqueness in a single extremely functional, yet simple product and classic. A harmonious form made of contrasts: the solid ceramic base is opposed to a structure that rises upwards just like a floating jellyfish. The transparency of the glass, similar to that of the marine animal, reveals a luminous soul inside. As in all Blueside Emotional Design furnishing accessories, Medusa is also made of borosilicate glass - the most precious glass in the world - which boasts characteristics of resistance to thermal shock, resulting also free of contaminating elements. In addition, just like all the other Blueside Emotional Design products, Medusa is handcrafted by the expert hands of glass blowers, emblem of an all-Italian manufacturing excellence that also makes use of the experience of Steroglass, leader in the processing of borosilicate glass for the realization of instruments in the scientific field, which guarantees each product a quality of extremely high standards.

Carl Hansen & Son

The new MO lamp series is the first collaboration of Carl Hansen & Son with the Danish designer Mads Odgård. The series consists of simple shapes that want to represent the comforting effect of light on people. Discreetly, these lamps complement the Carl Hansen & Son furniture collection and tell the story of Danish design. The series consists of a wall lamp, a floor lamp, a table lamp and a chandelier that have an undoubted charm thanks to their minimal style and their ability to create a pleasant atmosphere even individually.

Stilnovo

Some of the icons of the lighting brand that has dominated the scene since 1946, such as Fante, Minitopo, Lampiatta and Triedro alongside extremely innovative products, such as Dresscode, Derby, Demì, Sparkling, giving life to a new collection of lamps suitable for more modern environments, where the possibility of mixing great classics with contemporary products becomes the key to understanding the new living and contract spaces. Color, light quality, uniqueness and extreme attention to detail are the guidelines that can be expressed through the same products.

Talenti

The 2020 Talenti catalog, a global reference brand in the outdoor sector, bets on lighting to create elegant and evocative environments. The Milo floor lamp and the Cleo lantern, both designed by Marco Acerbis, offer practical and fresh solutions. The first has a steel wire structure that matches the outdoor furniture from the same collection and which plays on curves and three different heights. The essential lines of the Cleo lantern trace a direct connection with the voluminous elements of the collection expressing a desire for imaginative mobility.
Tribal instead, created by ps + at Palomba Serafini Associati, introduces a new key to interpret the perception of space in an increasingly fascinating way. Characterized by a strong ethnic inspiration, it is able to arouse the feeling of a holiday in exotic places at first glance. Eclectic and evocative forms of distant countries with both floor and suspension lamps that project games of light and shadows and weaves to create suggestive atmospheres in open spaces.
