Interviews
Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
We were thinking of creating a luminaire that could serve internal spaces with heights greater than 3 meters, such as the entrance lobby of large buildings, large staircases, etcetera.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
The luminaire should, besides being able to provide the appropriate level of lighting for the environment, fill the vertical space with elegance, harmony and aesthetics, regardless of whether it is on or off.
The light source should be LED and therefore should allow the installation of drivers.
We wanted an innovative product in terms of style and content, light and elegant.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
We are thinking of producing a limited series of the original model and creating other versions with different sizes and colors.
Luminada can also be installed in other types of spaces since it can be mounted in a vertical or horizontal way, this is the concept we want to explore in the new versions.
The original model will maintain its vertical positioning.

- Production Technology
- After the will to create a special new object for lighting, the process begun with drafts, a lot of drafts, and then go ahead with this one, which was refined for technical purpose. With this in the CNC milling machine, cut the aluminium profile and the glass sheet, so, put it all together and was fixed the flexible LED strip and its drivers. It was born Luminada.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was not only developing a new lighting with non-visible fasteners and new technologies, the real challenge was to do this with standard materials and easy and chip manufacturing process with the mind in maintenance, longest lifetime and, obviously, an aesthetical beautiful piece.
- Research
- The research was conducted to employ recyclables materials for frame and lens, in order to obtain a homogenous composition, with a minimum impact also in the manufacturing process. In this way, aluminum, as the most abundant metal in the earth and glass, are the best materials to be employed in a lighting object.
In this way, the impact of the materials and of the production of the lamp is at the minimum level.
It uses flexible LED strip instead of LED’s bulb, thinking in future disposal at the end life light.
So, the result was an ecological lamp with minimum impact to the environment. - Inspiration
- In the great masterpiece written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature, he writes:
We ascribe beauty to that which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things.
Just like in nature, the beauty of an object is in its simplicity, in how it achieves its essential function.
So, Luminada looks for a new geometrical form, simple, clean lines, easy to build and with clarity of purpose. A modern lighting system which could attach architectural depth to the modern house.
Luminada illuminate without any visible fastener or weld, giving a clean finished aesthetic. - Project Duration
- Start: July 12, 2019
Finish: October 27, 2019
