From the color temperatures lighting designers swear by to sconces, rechargeable lamps, floor lamps, recessed fixtures, and LED string lights—a practical guide, with design advice and solutions suited to balconies, terraces, and small outdoor spaces.
Architecture, design, and light can be approached with real invention. Our pick of five volumes—the term used loosely—to read, browse, or simply play with during the hottest and most restorative stretch of the year.
The Dictionary sheds light on the alphabet of light design. With each term, the complexity but also the beauty of the technology, processes, and connection with any type of space takes shape.
Light as a vehicle of meaning in artistic practice, a material to be shaped, and a medium of communication. Five examples from contemporary authors.
What is digital art today and what distinguishes technical virtuosity from a communicative project? A double interview with the Nonotak duo opens new visions on a perpetually evolving field.
With an innovative approach that blends light, design, and technology, Australian studio ENESS reimagines urban spaces—breathing new life into them, evoking emotion, inspiring critical reflection, and creating immersive, multisensory experiences.
An artist who doesn’t seek light—he generates it. Patrick Tuttofuoco uses artificial light as a visual language to transform urban space into a collective experience, blending architecture and color.
His installations—at the intersection of art and technology—give poetic form to natural, ecological, and perceptual phenomena in a sensorial journey where light becomes storytelling, activism, and awareness.
A pioneer in immersive art, Christopher Bauder leads us into parallel worlds where light, sound, and movement reshape spatial perception. From the techno culture of the 1990s, of which he is a direct descendant, to the creation of Dark Matter in Berlin, his work merges art, technology, and entrepreneurship into a creative trilogy in constant evolution. With his shows, Bauder pushes beyond the audiovisual, triggering genuine mental epiphanies.
When he was very young, a chance encounter with Bruno Munari set the course for his professional path, introducing him to design and its various forms. The enthusiasm of that master—so open to the world—has remained his guiding light ever since, along with an approach that views design as the result of choices rooted in meaning and culture.
He doesn’t use light to illuminate, but to construct space. Through lasers, water, steam, and reflective surfaces, Aka Chang creates immersive installations that focus entirely on perception.
After graduating from the Politecnico di Milano with a thesis supervised by Achille Castiglioni, his career has always been rooted in product design. He has followed a dynamic yet reliable path, continually driven by the search for solutions that improve processes and empower the people who turn designs into real products.
The studio develops immersive projects in which light becomes an active and generative force, shaping ever-changing environments. Between control and unpredictability, every experience is unique and unrepeatable.
From heartbeats to brainwaves, designer Otto Plesner explores how light can become a living language, one capable of making visible what usually remains hidden: memories, emotions, biological states, and perception. A journey through art, neuroscience, and technology, told through his own words.
From the “unfinished structure of Tor Vergata” to a landmark through transformative lighting: a true urban enhancement project by the studio Dolce e Luce.
Lights, sounds, and colors that redefine space—this is the essence of the work of the French studio. An experimental practice operating at the intersection of architecture, lighting, and digital media, creating works that appeal to everyone, from ages 7 to 77
From early lamps like Lunaire to collectible pieces for Friedman Benda, the French designer reflects on a professional path that moves across design, craftsmanship, and sculpture.
Founded in Milan by Diego Bassetti and Andrea Panzieri, Studio14 develops projects across architecture, interiors, and product design. In this interview, their work with Murano glass and lighting serves as a starting point for reflecting on contemporary craftsmanship and tradition.
