About Luminare Kabelka
Luminare je večerná kabelka pre ženy. Kožené telo je ručne vyrábané v Taliansku, zatiaľ čo elektronika je navrhnutá a montovaná v San Franciscu. Predný panel obsahuje tenký svetelný box, vďaka ktorému vymeniteľné umelecké motívy jemne žiaria zvnútra. Jediné tlačidlo na zadnej strane ovláda zapnutie a stmievanie svetla a magnetický port umožňuje nabíjanie. Vnútorná nabíjateľná batéria vydrží až dvanásť hodín a dokáže nabiť aj mobilný telefón. Tento dizajn spája umenie, módu a elektroniku do jedného jednotného objektu.

- Design Challenge
- There is great promise in incorporating technology into fashion. Unfortunately, most attempts to date have been clumsy and uninspired. A notable exception being Luminex (RIP).
The challenge was to try to use electronics to gain an artistic effect rather than trying to use electronics in art. The hope is to create a new form of art that is only possible with the assistance of electronics. We are targeting a more holistic approach to using electronics in fashion. - Research

A few options were tried and our light panels were most ideal, giving a wide range of brightness with very even, neutral lighting. Other forms of light consumed more electricity and had a smaller range of brightness options with a more restrictive
