RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The pursuit of perfection in artificial lighting involves getting as close to natural light as possible. Scientific research raises questions about the consequences that excessive and inappropriate use of light can cause on human, animal and plant health. There are several examples of lighting products inspired by nature, in terms of form, materials, and interaction, and we wanted to bring all these together, given that light and nature have never existed separately.
CHALLENGE:
The initial creative challenge was to start with a standard product already in the brand's range and give it a new life and purpose. The test was to take a product that is not often associated with creativity, given its ubiquity in everyday life, and to give it a value that goes beyond mere necessity, opening space for questions about its causes and the consequences it presents.
