Download the Material files
Martinelli Luce is looking for a suspension lamp dedicated to the home environment and in particular to the living area of the house. The product must best present the design philosophy of Martinelli Luce, a company that offers a catalogue of multiple collections of lamps characterized by minimalism, dynamism, modularity, seriality, geometric shapes and references to the natural world.
The requested lamp should possess a premium look and feel that expresses a high aesthetic level, quality, innovation, synthesis and/or research in the field of environmental sustainability.
Guidelines
For the correct realisation of your proposals, please take into consideration the following guidelines:
Product typology
You are invited to design a suspension lamp, consistent with the brand’s design values described below. At your discretion (nice to have), it is also possible to propose other variations of the product, and present a collection of lamps composed of suspension, floor, table, wall and ceiling versions. Proposals that offer a complete collection of lamps will have priority in the evaluation phase.
● Minimalism: “less is more”.
● Dynamism: the introduction of specific parts that allow the product’s movement, while paying attention to safety and usability. The Pipistrello lamp, for example, can translate vertically to increase or decrease the height of the diffuser thanks to the telescopic element, while the Cobra lamp moves the head 350 degrees and beyond by rotating around its pivot. (Images of Pipistrello, Cobra and TX1 lamps in the material files that can be downloaded from the contest page).
● Modularity: the combining one or more single modules in order to obtain a different type of light path. (See the Mamba, Colibrì and Calabronet lamps in the material files that can be downloaded from the contest page).
● Seriality: the replicating of a single component several times to inform part or all of the single lamp (see the Nuvole Vagabonde lamp in the material files that can be downloaded from the contest page).
● Geometry: the ability of the lamp to refer to perfect, rational and rigorous shapes.
● Nature: the use of organic shapes and the reference to any type of natural element.
It is not mandatory for the proposed project to encapsulate all the suggested design values. However, solutions capable of conveying the greatest number of such values will be particularly appreciated.
Style
The proposed solutions should be modern and minimal in style, characterized by geometric elements and/or organic shapes in line with the company design philosophy. They will also have to express the feeling of a high quality premium product.
Dimensions
The lamp will have the following indicative, overall dimensions: from a minimum of 50 cm to a maximum of 200 cm per side.
Materials and technologies
All materials suitable for industrial production are allowed. It is preferable to limit the use of plastic materials. Solutions that use innovative and/or environmentally sustainable materials that enhance the high-quality character of the product will be particularly appreciated. LED is the lighting technology to be used.
Context of use
The lamp must be designed for domestic use, in particular, for the living area (living room) and for spacious environments.
