ring
2021, group project
Ring is a modular lighting system designed for compact spaces, where many actions take place.
Thanks to its conformation it allows, from a single current output, to bring light sources to every point of the space.
In doing this, it is able to segment and divide spaces with a beam of light, giving the illusion of increasing their size.
Thanks to specific modules it satisfies multiple lighting needs.
context
migration & micro-sized homes
There is currently a process in which people move to cities, attracted by the opportunities they offer. It is predicted that 70% of the world population (6.7 billion people) will move in the next few years to metropolitan cities, by exponentially increasing the demand for houses and lodgings, which will necessarily be declined as "micro-houses": the spaces will be based on multifunctional rooms.
The domestic space becomes the new Greek polis in which both real and virtual life is lived.
The users who live and will live in these small spaces are young and move for work and study needs.
The references and inspirations related to spatial promiscuity do not emerge only from recent connections, history has addressed these spatial problems several times, showing the ability of architecture and design to create lasting solutions that have come down to the present day.
Here the early sketches and small scale prototypes made during the development phase:
We then developed a full scale prototype that gave us a new perspective on the installation method and light effect.
