Sky 2007
Lighting System
Luceplan, Italy
The idea behind Sky was to define a new form for a series of outdoor lights. The typology of the mushroom head with indirect light, which does not cause any glare, has always fascinated me. Its form – between a square and a circle – remains architectural, but is softer. Sky has a character that is both strong but also neutral. With its different surfaces and typologies, in the form of a wall, ceiling or floor lamp equipped with solar cells and LED, it provides the right response to every need. We also managed to create a solar cell light with LED that provides sufficient brightness and, above all, can provide illumination for twelve hours. At this year's «Light and Building» fair Sky was awarded the «Light of the Future» prize. The only remaining question is: How high is the sky?
