The Martinelli Luce showroom in Milan hosted Small Talk's third event, which focused on the conversation between light and music. A gathering that connected design, perception, and experimentation, three key concepts in both the design of designer lamps and Martinelli Luce's research.
The discussion, which began with the "Sounds that Illuminate" project experience, explored the connection between luminous objects and sensory experience, emphasizing how illumination might develop beyond function to become interaction and expressive language.
A concept of the project as a composition, a harmony of light, atmosphere, and rhythm, emerged in the conversation between Francesco Lucchese and Andrea Vigani. The design of modern lighting products is influenced by the world of music.
Marco Ghilarducci, CEO of Martinelli Luce, explained the connection between music and light design, introducing the concept of “groove” applied to lamps.
Closing the evening at the Milan showroom, the Crazy Band's performance, with Marco Ghilarducci on keyboards, transformed the reflections into a direct experience.
