About Altera Lampada interattiva
Il carattere delicato, fluido e quasi traslucido del marmo evoca l'acqua. Esplorando questa relazione, le pareti a cascata sono emerse come fonte di ispirazione. L'acqua che scintilla sulla pietra testurizzata ha suggerito la luce che filtra attraverso gli elementi in marmo. Riflettendo il desiderio umano di toccare la natura, questa idea si è evoluta in un progetto illuminotecnico moderno e tattile che va oltre la semplice illuminazione, offrendo un'esperienza dinamica e personale. Grazie alle ali in marmo ruotabili, gli utenti possono modellare con le proprie mani sia la luce sia la forma. Il design unisce sottili lastre di marmo per la diffusione luminosa, una struttura in ottone e diffusori LED satinati.

- Production Technology
- The design integrates thin-cut marble for controlled light diffusion, brass for structural support, and frosted LED diffusers. CNC cutting enables precise fabrication of the marble panels, mounted to vertical profiles through custom hinge components based on two-piece shaft collars seated in milled grooves. The panels are bonded with epoxy adhesive. The modular structure allows easy assembly, disassembly, and compact packaging. Waste marble pieces could be combined for sustainable marble panels.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge in this project was developing a reliable rotating system for marble panels without the possibility of building a physical prototype. At the same time, the marble needed to be thin enough to allow light transmission while remaining durable enough to avoid damage during production and use. Balancing these structural and material constraints required extensive independent research, persistence, and iterative design decisions.
- Research
- This research examined the technical feasibility of a kinetic modular lighting system with rotating marble panels. It explored the material limits of marble, structural stability, and a balanced mechanism allowing panels to rotate freely yet stay in place. The study included research based on manufacturer specifications, ergonomic considerations, and rotating mechanisms. Proportion and structural balance analysis played a key role in developing a system supporting user interaction.
- Inspiration
- The delicate, fluid and almost translucent character of marble is often comparable to water. While exploring this relationship, waterfall walls emerged as a source of inspiration. The shimmering movement of water flowing over textured stone surfaces suggested the image of light filtering through marble elements. Humans long to touch nature, and a design they can shape and form a bond with can also touch their soul. This idea evolved into a modern, tactile lighting design that invites users to interact with the object and form a personal connection with light. With this aim, the expressive limits of marble were explored.
- Project Duration
- The project started in November 2023 in Verona and finished in July 2024 in Istanbul.
- Operation Flow
- Each wing manually rotates around its center vertically, allowing users to alter the direction, intensity, and overall composition of light according to their needs and aesthetic preferences. This adaptability transforms the fixture into a living design, constantly evolving with its user. Countless configurations are possible, making it more than just a lighting object; it becomes an extension of the space where function and emotion meet.
