Architect Paola Urbano explains that “The design of the luminaires required by the project had to take into account three important issues: the miniaturisation of the lighting bodies, to ensure minimum aesthetic impact; the optical performance, which had to offer the highest performance of the lighting effects without creating glare; the provision of easily removable floor mounted luminaires with specific characteristics to withstand water infiltration. During the design phase, the luminaires were refined and engineered with Zero55 and designed ad hoc.
Since these are custom-designed fixtures, the materials used, the paint, the electrical components and the degree of protection against dust and water were defined according to the type of each individual fixture and its location within the premises”.
