Discovery is the latest project by Ernesto Gismondi.
It is not a closed project but rather a vision, a concept of
how light can be interpreted through technological research,
optoelectronic expertise, design culture and production
know-how. Carlotta de Bevilacqua delves even deeper into
the principle, exploring new possibilities to create a dynamic
dialogue between light, space and our perception.
An unexpected touch emerges within this optical algorithm,
explored in various forms and sizes. A diagonal cut, reminiscent
of Fontana’s canvases, disrupts the surface by splitting it in
half. This intervention makes it possible to handle light in
two ways. It breaks the uniformity of Discovery’s surface by
dividing it into two different light emissions, each perfectly
calibrated in its light characteristics.
The cut disrupts the sequence of micro-incisions that
extract light, creating a new balance between two types of
light, whether similar or contrasting. The space that opens
up between the two parts sparks a dialogue, allowing the
emissions from the frame’s profile to freely separate and
vary independently.
This further pushes the possibility of being the authors of
one’s own light in space. It makes it possible to balance a clear
perception through white light with a colourful ambiance,
adjusting various colour temperatures, playing with colour
choices to align with activity rhythms, encouraging well-being
and interacting with the environment through transparency.
Discovery Dialogue is a project originating from a scientific
and technological platform, made of matter and controlled
wavelengths where beauty is added through subtract.
It starts with science, moving from measurements to create
a perception and a relationship with space infused with
symbolic meaning.
