Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Luna is the kitchen lamp that redefines the art of lighting. Thanks to Gesture Control, it offers dimmable light and enveloping ambient lighting, calibrating every detail with refinement. It communicates with NikolaTesla and LHOV and is compatible with voice assistants and Elica apps. The Balance System allows you to adjust the height using adaptable cables for perfect integration. With Luna, light does not just illuminate it becomes an integral part of the everyday experience in the kitchen.
- Inspiration
- Luna was born from the desire to better illuminate the cooking area, following the introduction of NikolaTesla and Lhov, which eliminated the light from the hood under the wall cabinet. Luna is a dedicated lamp, in line with Elica's design, which combines performance and aesthetics. Height-adjustable, with dimmable or ambient lighting and matte or glossy finishes. Luna does not just illuminate it interprets the space, enhances gestures and becomes part of the experience in the kitchen.
- Research
- The research behind Luna stems from the need to bring the ideal lighting to the kitchen, above complete products such as Lhov and NikolaTesla, to best illuminate the work area. The challenge was to create a lamp that was consistent with the existing range. The result is a minimalist and essential product that is also customizable and intuitive to use.
- Challenge
- The challenge was to connect Luna to certain Elica products, integrating them harmoniously without compromising their aesthetics or trivializing their design. The choice and combination of materials also required great attention, with the aim of creating a clean, balanced product that was perfectly consistent with the style and environment of the kitchen.
- Realization and Technology
- The creation of Luna is the result of specific technologies and production methods for each material: from the cutting and black anodization of steel to the cutting of glass, to the careful assembly of each component. A precise and integrated process that guarantees quality, resistance, and aesthetic excellence in every detail of the product.
- Operation and Interaction
- Interacting with Luna is simple and intuitive: it can be done via gesture control, voice assistants, or through integration with Lhov and NikolaTesla, for a truly seamless and connected experience. In addition, the ability to manually adjust the height of the lamp ensures immediate and personalized control, adapting perfectly to the needs of the kitchen space.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project began in February 2024 and ended in February 2026; it will be exhibited at the Salone del Mobile in April 2026.
- Specifications
- Luna features a lamp body measuring 120 × 4.5 × 1.6 cm, with a simple, linear design. The ceiling mount measures 65 × 10.1 × 4.1 cm, ensuring stability and aesthetic continuity. The height is adjustable from 50 to 200 cm, to adapt precisely to different kitchen spaces and configurations.
