In the centre of Milan lies a private square surrounded by elegant residential buildings and views that speak of transformations through the centuries. Its appeal is enhanced by a lighting design intertwining past and future.

Dominated by an imposing mediaeval tower, restored with great care and surrounded by precious archaeological finds, the square is like a canvas on which circles and lines trace its distinctive character. Modern homes, the product of a recent redevelopment project, complete the picture, creating a perfect balance between historical charm and contemporary freshness.

At sunset, the paving is brought to life by geometric shapes and harmonious lines that emerge discreetly with the help of Olo, whose light beam – directed exclusively downwards – enhances the shapes in the space without spilling into the environment. The lighting illuminates the steps and ramps, guiding both gaze and feet naturally and elegantly. Within its 10-metre diameter, the light beam maintains complete control, reducing light pollution and guaranteeing a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Next to the mediaeval tower, a corten sculpture seems to mark the passage of time. Here, Bright comes into its own. This minimalist recessed fixture disappears during the day only to reveal itself at night with a discreet but incisive beam. The light, projected from below, shapes the material, amplifying the contrast between the sculpture’s volumes and corten surfaces. To complete the picture, a Reiko projector illuminates the sculpture from above, integrating perfectly with the texture of the corten and adding depth and dynamism to the composition.
