The concept lies in our intention to provide a wide range of new products (in this case technical products seeing as we are talking about the new TECH 2019 volume) which feature state-of-the-art LED technology, so we can provide the right light for every space. The result is a catalogue that represents an up-to-the-minute variety of products with high technical and quality standards, a useful tool for designers and planners as well as installers but that can also be used by end consumers.

Products are marked with the NEW stamp when they are new entries, and bear the RESTYLE stamp when the range has been expanded or they have been technically updated or restyled. A major part is dedicated to technological innovation associated with light control, which is paramount today when we talk about “bespoke light”. Luminaires that are dimmable or controlled using DALI or the Casambi App create light that is truly tuned to the user’s requirements. Lastly, the concept of being designed for a specific use. Products are no longer defined merely by their application (recessed, wall or ceiling luminaire, track or cable system, for indoors or outdoors), but also by the area they are designed to be used in. We have therefore used 9 symbols that identity the main areas in which you can install our products.

So we will find hi-tech luminaires, such as track-mounted projectors and recessed luminaires for the retail channel, for exhibition spaces, museums and sacred buildings; recessed luminaires and suspension systems featuring glare control for the office sector; projectors and hermetically sealed products that have been designed for the industrial sector but are also suitable for installation in large communal areas, manufacturing plants and warehouses. Without forgetting residential lighting, which features wall, ceiling, suspension and recessed luminaires in modern designs that offer optimum lighting efficiency, for use both indoors and out. Some luminaires are also suitable for urban areas as they feature strong resistance to impact and a high degree of protection against atmospheric agents. And last but not least, products designed for the hospitality sector, for both indoor and outdoor areas of bars, restaurants or hotels.

Still on the subject of logos, here’s our Made in Milano

From the little shop in via Melzo, to the extensive company premises in via Kennedy on the outskirts of Milan. It seems so near yet it was almost 90 years ago. Our love for Milan and our presence on the Milanese territory have always been a part of our history. Today this story is told through a logo, which aims to highlight the association of our products with Italy. Products designed, developed, manufactured and assembled entirely in Italy, which form a high quality range based on almost a century of tradition that few other companies can boast.

And to end, a reflection accompanied by a smile: whoever could have imagined that a “simple” catalogue would involve so much? It isn’t the first, and it won’t be the last. But one fact remains: to grow strong branches we need deep roots, and we, for almost a century, have been lighting up people’s worlds.

“Bergamo town council decided to replace about 15.000 light points in the city with new LED devices within 2016. Thus, Bergamo conforms to the choices made by major cities, such as Milan, Turin and Brescia, which have already started the work of replacement of public lighting with new LED light devices for a long time. The work concerns the whole town public lighting, except for Upper Bergamo, since they have to carry out a preliminary study and a careful consultation with the Superintendence. By using the new system, the municipality will save 350 thousand euro per year for the next 10 years. The cost of the work, which is equal to 5.6 million euro, will be allocated like that: 2 million euro at the municipality’s expense and 3,6 million euro at A2A’s expense, halving the cost of energy and minimizing the cost of ordinary maintenance of the system. During the replacement phase, A2A will carry out a verification on the stability of lampposts and any criticality will be reported to the Municipality, which will act to ensure the safety of its citizens.”

Administrations are increasingly welcoming the call to sustainability and saving as a common good. In this sense, LED technology has a crucial role. Even Rossini has been working in this sense for a long time, creating products equipped with a LED technology for consumption control… thanks to the advice by Rossini’s staff, you can provide your house with a totally LED lighting system.

Luce&Design

The first word we encounter is “lighting”. A great start then; the first image is instead of Lorenzo who searches the darkness with two flashlights like with binoculars. Light and dark are in conflict all the time: the darkness seems to prevail, it insists, it is rampant. But then there are light beams that strike a detail and take it to the front. Light doesn’t always necessarily wins, which, incidentally, with no darkness won’t be emphasized so strongly in the metaphor of the absolute positive. Light is good, darkness no. It ‘s true, at night everything seems more vivid (only apparent contradiction): feelings are more intense, dreams almost real, thoughts heavier. The non-light urges us to revise every event from another point of view, sometimes even making complex simple things. So it’s nice that the author of “Io penso positivo” wanted the shadows and darkness with him, even though just to show that he can overcome them, or at least handle. In short, an unconventional interview, where the words are accompanied by images and movement. The covered themes are important: love, friendship, life, fear, creativity, religion. Many aspects of a personality that could be joined in one word, mainly: energy. Why is undeniable, Lorenzo Cherubini Jovanotti has energy in spades, and light, too. Lorenzo Illuminated, interview by Nur Al Habash and Emilio Periferico. Video art direction by Toni Thorimbert. Interactive art direction by Marco Rosella.

The event, organized by Alberto Peruzzo Foundation, under the auspices of the Regional Council of Veneto and VENICE TO EXPO 2015, offers a single large installation at the Arsenal, whose title is PLESSI. LIQUID LIGHT that, for the first time in forty years, does not bear any trace of plasma screens or monitors, but only a subtle and mysterious blue light (reminiscent of the light of a television) coming out from the keels of fourteen capsized boats, the llaüt, traditional Balearic boats for trawling and the background sound of the waves.
Following the intervention of the European Community, which encouraged their disposal, many llaüt were abandoned by fishermen. Fabrizio Plessi (Reggio Emilia, 1940), after a phase of detailed research and recovery in Mallorca, decided to give them new life by making them content and container of this installation that pays homage to the Mediterranean.
“If the light, pure electricity- the administrator Marco Tonelli tells – is the primordial matter driving technology, according to Plessi, design is memory, personal experience and imagination that give strength to another type of energy, the inner energy of the artist himself, able to catch the thrills of a modernity that was called liquid modernity by a great sociologist of our time like Zygmunt Bauman”.

The second, no less important, lies in the versatility of a modular LED system – with direct and indirect lighting – which can be arranged in virtually endless configurations to facilitate the distribution of space. The project, in fact, provides for various mounting solutions: suspended, surface-mounted, single or linear mounting with the option of having corner joints without dark spots.

Ovo’s versatility is completed by anti-reflection optics (which are suitable for use also in rooms with computer screens thanks to a UGR <19), LED lights in two different colours (3000K and 4000K versions) providing 110 lumen/watt and the possibility of having the product with emergency kit (upon request). Standard colours are black, white and gray (matte finishing), although special colours are available on-demand.

The lamp takes its name from the elongated shape of its aluminium body, which drew wide acclaims at Euroluce 2015 thanks to its unusual drop of 7 vertical bodies. Now also exhibited at the showroom Overlite, located in via Feltre 32, Milan.
