Milan Preview: Seven Lights to Look Out for at Euroluce

The biennial Euroluce lighting exhibition will showcase LED lights that push the envelope on both performance and perception.

Opening April 4 in conjunction with the Salone del Mobile, this year’s Euroluce lighting exhibition in Milan will see 454 lighting companies present their best and “brightest” products. LEDs and allied technologies, like intelligent control systems and OLEDs, continue to dominate. But the key challenge for the lighting industry, the show’s organizers have stated, is the “harmonious balance between lighting products’ twin values: functionality and emotionality.” Here is a preview of seven standouts from the fair that strike that balance perfectly.

03 LUCEPLAN SOL_03 PENDANT
Designer Daniel Rybakken set out to design a lamp that takes up a lot of space while using very little material. In Sol_03, a mirrorized membrane is stretched within a 30- or 42-inch aluminum profile, and acts as a diffuser and reflector for a powerful LED light source.
