We have returned from Milan Design Week 2023 with a two-fold experience, both parts rich with encounters and memories: one, SENSNES, our installation within Fuorisalone, the other, our participation as exhibitors at Euroluce – Salone del Mobile.
This is the installation designed by Ma Yansong and Andrea D’Antrassi of MAD Architects for AXA IM Alts, for the INTERNI Design Re-Evolution exhibition at the University of Milan. Visitors will find themselves contemplating a pure shape, a cube, tilted by 45° and anchored in the ground.
At Fuorisalone, we’re inverting your usual point of view and inviting you to a new perception of nature, courtesy of an installation by lighting designers lucearchitettura that focuses on light and its ability to arouse emotions.
Introducing the new L&L Catalogue 2023, in print and digital: an aid to choosing our lighting fixtures for all lighting professionals.
The range of Colorado linear profiles has been extended with the new RGBW and Tunable White versions. Featuring a powerful lighting performance and excellent light mixing, these fixtures can illuminate tall building facades with coloured lighting scenes.
The Ginko family has been extended with an RGBW version: the light-mixing option enables different coloured lighting scenes to be created in outdoor and landscape settings.
Adjusting the lighting to reflect the mood of the moment enables us to live in better harmony with our living spaces. Let’s see how Dim to Warm technology helps with this.
Altopiano is the new family of downlights developed for outdoor applications in the hospitality and residential sectors. It is suitable for installation in porches, loggias and verandas, and in environments with high humidity such as cellars and wellness centres (body made of corrosion-resistant technopolymer with an IP66 rating).
In small spaces, the lighting possibilities are huge. We take our magnifying glass for a closer look the available options.
Lighting art venues is an art in itself. A complex art that requires not only lighting knowledge but also a sensitivity to the venue, the context and the exhibition theme.
What you are about to read is a report from an undefined space-time dimension. Because of the insights it contains on lighting strategies, we feel it is our duty to disseminate it.
Colorado is a drive-over LED linear profile with built-in power supply developed as architectural lighting for the facades of tall buildings in urban settings, such as historic and public buildings and hotels.
Are we still talking about ISO 9001 certification in 2022? Yes, and we’ll tell you why.
The Quilatero family is completed with versions 3 and 4: the square recessed fixture with built-in power supply for outdoor lighting applications now comes in larger sizes and higher wattages.
Out of the groups of young architects and engineers who were finalists in the Federico Maggia Award 2022, one joined forces with us at L&L to light up the architectural project they submitted in the competition. We look at the work they did to enhance a corner of Biella’s history that reminds us so much of Vicenza.
In the previous instalment, we looked at lighting the living room, kitchen and dining room. Now we are turning our spotlight on the bathroom, bedroom and passageways and weaving our way through standards, functional requirements and atmosphere.
Combina D 1.0 and 2.0 downlights are now available in kit version, ready to be installed in shops, showrooms and offices.
Quilatero is the new family of recessed fixtures with a built-in power supply intended for facade lighting in outdoor applications. The family features a square design and a wide range of optics, either fixed or tiltable.
One home, many different spaces where we live our busy lives. So how do we light them? Starting with the living room and the kitchen, we explore the various parts played by lighting in the home, from function or decoration to creating a specific atmosphere.
The Berica range of double-beam wall-mounted fixtures: outdoor versions are now available (IP65).
Now you can control your lighting fixtures at the touch of a finger using the L&L interface on the app created by Casambi, world leader in lighting control solutions.
Discover which TV series is behind each of these settings. The lighting will guide you and help you spot the clues that will lead you to the answers!
The RGBW versions of Tago, the linear profile developed for architectural facade lighting for urban facades and residential exteriors is now available.
We’d like to take a step back and return to an interview given by our CEO Marco Celsan to the architectural magazine Area. In it, he takes a look at the period just ended and at the immediate future, which presents a mix of continuity and innovation.
From the aesthetic concept behind the Berica wall-mounted fixture now comes Berica S, a double-beam suspended fixture with a contemporary, minimalist design devised for lighting in the retail and hospitality sectors, offices and private homes.
We looked at Perugini’s experimental work known as Casa Albero (treehouse) and imagined what it would look like with exterior lighting. How could the identity of the architecture best be rendered with light? What details should be emphasised?
We complete our personal scale of notes for facade lighting by musing on the solos of architectural details, and the timbre, tone and extension of the light.
The popular Plin bollard range with built-in power supply has been extended with the Plin 6, which features asymmetrical optics positioned inside the bollard head. These deliver a 360° uniform light.
With musical notations in our hands, we discuss lighting building facades as if each one were a musical score to be interpreted. In this first part: the harmony of the architectural composition, the arrangement between the different levels of depth and, finally, the rhythm of the various elements. Music, maestro, please!
The Intono C range of ceiling-mounted fixtures has been extended: outdoor versions are now available.
One of the solutions for visually integrating a lighting fixture into its context is its treatment with primer. Here we explore this trick that hides in plain sight.
Hot on the heels of the success of the Intono wall-mounted fixture comes Intono C IN, a line of ceiling-mounted fixtures for indoor applications that replicates the same minimalist design combined with smart speaker compatibility and the ability to house a speaker to play music.
A crime committed after dark, the usual suspects in the dock, a judge's final verdict: we follow the investigation into the crime of light pollution step by step.
We’re continuing on our way through the pathways, exploring the installation characteristics and emotional qualities of the different types of fixtures available for lighting walks and walkways.
Lighting effects on the paths to our front doors, in built-up areas and near bodies of water. Read the first part of our article all about lighting outdoor pathways.
We tumble down a deep hole with Alice and meet the characters in a story that needs no introduction. Along the way, we've noticed a few details that escaped us on a first reading…
Tago is a drive-over LED linear profile with built-in power supply, particularly suitable for architectural lighting for urban facades such as historic and public buildings, hotels and residential exteriors.
A 15th-century church destroyed by WWII bombs, and a family of architects who passed on the task of restoring it from generation to generation. A wound in the urban landscape healed and given back to the city with the help of lighting design: a testimony to history and family values.
We take you inside the office where the customised lighting fixtures are developed. This is where we respond to the requests of lighting designers struggling to overcome technical and aesthetic constraints or looking for very specific solutions.
We take a closer look at the lighting project for the architectural site near Verona with lighting designers Cinzia Todeschini and Lorella Marconi.
In the second part of our visit to places of worship, we walk along the aisles of the churches, pausing to take in the ceiling vaults, the frescoes and the high altar, and to observe the light that vitalises the spiritual atmosphere from the inside.
To set foot in place of worship is to find oneself catapulted into a reflective dimension far removed from everyday life. What role does light play in creating this august atmosphere? In this first part, we focus on exteriors, passing from the parvis, or church courtyard, to the facade, and looking up towards the bell tower.
The House of Joseph Perrier, a historic company in the Champagne tradition, has undergone a renovation and expansion. We talked with Emeric Thiénot, the lighting designer responsible for the lighting concept, about it.
We asked creative people, photographers and video producers to take inspiration from the light projections created by the Ginko 3.0 projector fitted with a shadow-effect filter. The result is a photo feature full of imaginative tales of light and shade, #komorebilandl.

The last few days of February 2020 had been frenetic: with Light+Building just around the corner, we’d been in the final stretch of preparations for it. Then, suddenly, we were faced with the health emergency. Exactly one year after the start of the events that turned our daily lives upside down, we have collected the first five interviews to some members of the L&L team. Others will follow.
In the previous instalment, we followed a flâneur as he wandered around a modern-day metropolis observing the relationship between light and urban design. We continue our walk with him now.
The Ginko range of projectors has grown again with the addition of version 4.0, the largest in both size and performance
The urban fabric is often the perfect backdrop for social medial photos. We reflect on the role of lighting in a city's Instagrammability from dusk till deep into the night.
Combina D and Krill, the two new solutions for indoor architectural lighting launched in 2020, won over the juries of three different awards: Iconic Awards 2021: Innovative Interior, Architecture+Technology Innovation Award 2020 and LIT Lighting Design Awards 2020.
In the pool, light takes on different roles and forms depending on the activities taking place there. Some swimming pools are the natural habitats of athletes, others are hangouts for cocktails and parties, and yet others are filled with thermal waters and are places for treatment and relaxation.
In the second part of our shopping tour, we’re focusing on display details and the colour values of light.
Even if stairs sometimes give us a few headaches, we shouldn’t be tempted by the lift! Here, we have assembled lighting examples taken from the case studies we have collected over the years, so that they can serve as an inspiration when you’re working on an uphill task :)
The Spot family of projectors with built-in power supply has grown again with the addition of version 4.4, the largest in both size and performance
The soundtrack to 2020 has been our doorbell rung by the express courier with a parcel for us. Shut away inside our homes, some of us have dismantled and reassembled furniture, others have become expert bakers, and many of us have given vent to our needs and wishes by clicking “add to cart” and “proceed to checkout”. But it goes without saying that the feeling of entering a real store, the so-called shopping experience, is something completely different.
Berica IN combines an extremely slim, pared-down design (from only 30 mm) with the practical functionality of a built-in power supply
In this third step, we concentrate first on the variable of colour: the colour of the finishes on lighting fixtures for landscape lighting, and which colour of light is best suited to foliage – cool white, warm white or coloured?
In this second part of our walk in nature, we’ll look at lighting other parts of a garden: tree trunks, smaller plants and flowerbeds.
The Gem family, compact constant-current projectors designed for use both in display windows and cabinets in the retail and museum sectors and in private homes, has been improved and expanded
Never have parks and gardens been as important as they are in these historic times. After the weeks of #stayathome due to the coronavirus crisis, walks in nature were the first step towards a slow return to normality for many of us. That is why we have chosen to start the new L&L blog section here, with a tribute to nature, which is so important to us.
There was once a winery in Cerignola, on the Strada Statale 16, a state road that – just imagine – runs all the way from Padua in the north of Italy to Otranto way down south in the province of Lecce. In fact, it’s the longest road in the Italian network...
The Eyes family of small downlights for residential applications has had a makeover in terms of design and performance.
The family of projectors designed to enhance outdoor architectural and landscape elements is expanding. A larger version and a smaller version than the current Pivot 1.7 and 1.8, both in physical size and power, are available now.
