"Light is Movement" is the theme for FontanaArte at Euroluce 2011.
This entails focusing on the future, looking ahead, keeping up with the times, or better still anticipating them, offering quality lighting fixtures that are elegant and innovative while respecting the tradition of a company that has been producing lamps for over 75 years.
The company’s immense commitment to using LED light sources has led to the creation of a series of lighting fixtures with extraordinary luminous efficiency.
FontanaArte has always stood out for pursuing original and aesthetically appealing shapes. This year, this is fully expressed with several new lamps, including Carmen by Hector Serrano and Wig by Chris Hardy.

On this occasion Nice will light Building (by Marco Acerbis), thanks to the Nice Apps able to remotely supervise, control and manage home automations for gates, garage doors, parking systems, blinds and shutters, alarm and lighting systems, through an intuitive web interface, accessible via Internet by a touchpad.
The display space project, by the architect Piero Russi, is intended to convey the “Light is Movement” philosophy and the concept of lightness that is characteristic of all products made in 2011. The concept comes from the world of nature, the bottom of the sea, where light enhances continuously changing colours and shapes, and is filtered by the water that surrounds all things.

To celebrate the 50th edition of the Salone del Mobile, the Association
of Via MonteNapoleone, Cosmit and Citroën Italia have organized an open-air exhibition
in Via MonteNapoleone, Milan’s top shopping street.
The exhibition has been conceived to offer everyone the possibility of a full immersion in the design world; it has been organized in a street which is considered a symbol of Milan, just like the Salone del Mobile which for 50 years has contributed to making our city the capital in this sector.

For Nice Jacopo Foggini has created Ofigea, a 55 meters-long lighting snake
which was presented in 2008 at the Interni Green Energy Design;
in 2010 he created the Golden Fleece, a golden fleece of around
200 square meters which was showed at the Interni Think Tank event.
For the FuoriSalone® 2011, INTERNI produces, during
Design Week in Milan (11-17 April 2011),
the major Exhibition-Event INTERNI MUTANT ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN.
The theme of “mutant” architecture, i.e. architecture that is ready for changes, alterations and additions in its development and reutilization, promotes awareness of these themes through EXPERIMENTAL INSTALLATIONS that mix different scales of reference, micro-architectures or macro-objects created by a series of international designers that design also on a metaphorical and symbolic level.
The collaboration between Nice and Jacopo Foggini for the FuoriSalone follows this year with Plasteroid, a planet, the promised land, the new dreamed world, to which land through a deep meditation and inner consciousness.

The collaboration between Nice and Jacopo Foggini for the FuoriSalone follows this year with Plasteroid, a planet, the promised land, the new dreamed world, to which land through a deep meditation and inner consciousness.
Sign of a beneficial change, the installation means to be the result of a new explosion
of transforming primeval substance. Plasteroid attenuates the arrogance of human beings
and interprets the urgent need to save ourselves through immediate respect
for and return to Nature.
The world itself, in the project’s vision, is an immense mutant architecture.
The inner structure of Plasteroid is the pivot of its outer monumental character,
a space ready to transform into a new planet. The light, the pulsing core of the work,
spreads from the bright polycarbonate walls, radiating new vital energy.
The surface is made with a double layer of 200 reclyced polycarbonate scales, produced in a transparent blue color, poured by hand and stitched together to form a single spherical surface. The lighting system is composed of a tungsten halogen 20,000 watt bulb with dimmer, positioned in the central nucleus of the installation, screened by an opaline pyrex structure for better light diffusion and protection of the fixtures.
