PUZZLE: sistema d'illuminazione modulare

The intent of project Puzzle is to demonstrate how, from a semi-finished product “simple” obtained through conventional processes, it is possible to get a whole family of products. In this search was chosen as a case study to lighting. Lighting is an area of ​​specific design do to relevant technical skills involved and the implications for ergonomic, functional and psychological acts. Precisely because of its level of complexity, this area is appropriate testing to demonstrate that careful design of an industrial product must take into account many issues not only technological. Puzzle is a lighting system which, thanks to its shape, inspired precisely the homonymous game, is able to induce the formation of layout formats from multiple elements. These groups, not bound in number, may be formed from cells positioned in a manner that is ordered staggered, to form “clouds” three-dimensional. Great attention has finally been given to the technical, with a deep analysis of production processes and technologies applied to the world of lighting and their problems.The intent of project Puzzle is to demonstrate how, from a semi-finished product “simple” obtained through conventional processes, it is possible to get a whole family of products.

L’intento del progetto Puzzle è quello di dimostrare come, a partire da un semilavorato “semplice” ottenuto attraverso processi tradizionali, sia possibile ottenere una famiglia interi di prodotti. Nella ricerca che seguirà è stato scelto come caso studio quello del lighting. Quello dell’illuminazione costituisce un settore di progettazione specifico per le rilevanti competenze tecniche che comporta e per le implicazioni ergonomiche, funzionali e psicologiche che comporta. Proprio per il suo livello di complessità, questo ambito rappresenta la prova adatta per dimostrare che un’attenta progettazione di un prodotto industriale deve tenere conto di innumerevoli problematiche non solo tecnologiche. Puzzle è un sistema di illuminazione che, grazie alla sua forma, ispirata appunto all’omonimo gioco, è in grado di indurre la formazione di layout formati da molteplici elementi. Questi gruppi, non vincolati nel numero, possono essere formati da cellule posizionate in maniera sia ordinata che sfalsata, fino a formare “nuvole” tridimensionali. Grande attenzione è infine stata data all’aspetto tecnico, con una profonda analisi dei processi di produzione e delle tecnologie applicate al mondo del lighting ed alle loro problematiche.
