Ariel Palanzone honored for lighting products and fixtures design by the international grand jury of the 2022 - 2023 A' Design Award & Competition
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COMO, Italy, April 20, 2023 /DesignNewswire/ Lamps Collection Concept Design by Ariel Palanzone, designed for Palanzone Studio, has been granted the A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category, A' Design Award & Competition has announced. The recognition forms part of the 2022 - 2023 A' Design Award & Competition and was determined through blind peer review by an international grand jury panel of established academics, design professionals and press members, who evaluated anonymized entries against predetermined criteria.
What the A' Design Award Means
The Iron A' Design Award is awarded to good designs that meet the rigorous professional and industrial standards set by the A' Design Awards. This recognition is reserved for works that demonstrate a solid understanding of design principles and show creativity within their execution. Recipients of the Iron A' Design Award are acknowledged for their practical innovations and contributions to their respective fields, providing solutions that improve quality of life and foster positive change. These designs are a testament to the skill and dedication of their creators, showcasing their ability to address real-world challenges through thoughtful design.
Regarding Lamps Collection Concept Design
This personal collection of lamps presents an innovative proposal in relation to the conception of lighting objects, which in addition to fulfilling their primary purpose also have a strong sculptural charge that gives them an artistic function and makes them unique. The floor lamp is influenced by kinetic art, so through its articulated and flexible structure the user can direct the light at will. The nightstand lamp resembles a bitten apple in shape, playing here with the metaphor of light as a source of creativity so that the user can feel inspired to use it as a study and reading lamp.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This personal collection of lamps presents an innovative proposal in relation to the conception of lighting objects, which in addition to fulfilling their primary purpose also have a strong sculptural charge that gives them an artistic function and makes them unique. The floor lamp is influenced by kinetic art, so through its articulated and flexible structure the user can direct the light at will. The nightstand lamp resembles a bitten apple in shape, playing here with the metaphor of light as a source of creativity so that the user can feel inspired to use it as a study and reading lamp.
- Inspiration
- My inspiration has to do with contemporary abstract sculptures by artists such as Jean Arp and Ernesto Neto. I am also very inspired by western art, especially Japanese design and its cult of the imperfection of forms to give warmth to the environment.
- Research
- The research has been very active in evaluating the type of products currently on the market and in finding out a lot about the technical possibilities offered by new technologies and trends in the field of design, such as 3D printing and LED lighting. It has also made an analysis of the needs of users who are looking for user-friendly products, intuitive to use and with beautiful shapes. We have also taken into account the impact that these products have on the environment, that's why we have chosen LED lighting in terms of lower energy consumption and therefore less environmental impact. The material for the 3D printing is recycled to be consistent with this ecological idea.
- Challenge
- The most challenging factor for this project is to find the right balance between conceptual ideas and technical realization possibilities. We have always tried to keep as much as possible the strength of the forms of the conceptual design and to bring it to the physical plane as faithfully as possible. What was always a priority was to maintain the minimalist, sophisticated and elegant essence of this collection of contemporary lamps.
- Realization and Technology
- 3d printing in flexible material
- Operation and Interaction
- These lamps are designed to be used in an intuitive way, since they have tactile devices that according to the type of pressure exerted by the user can regulate the intensity and directionality of the light.
- Project Duration and Location
- This project has been exhibited from August to December 2022 in different fairs, art and design spaces in Buenos Aires.
- Specifications
