Icons of light for outdoor spaces
(EN) Contemporary design trends are blurring indoor-outdoor
boundaries. There are no longer clear distinctions or separations,
but a growing aesthetic and functional osmosis between two en-
vironmental situations. Clients and designers are expressing a
growing need to think of outdoor spaces as a natural stylistic con-
tinuation of interiors. This aspect plays a role in the design of light-
ing products, which have to adapt to new requirements, trans-
forming into multifunctional and nomadic objects.

In 2020 Luceplan has rounded out its collection of outdoor
products. Thanks to this major expansion of the range and invest-
ment in the outdoor market, the company becomes a new player
on the global scene for this sector.

The collection has grown, first of all, with the outdoor version
of the Fienile series by Daniel Rybakken. As has also happened
with Costanza, the reinterpretation of icons with new optical parts
and materials formulated to stand up to weather moves in the di-
rection of an increasingly nomadic approach, applied with the
same forms in both indoor and outdoor settings.

In 2021 three new collections will be introduced: Nui and
Nui mini designed by Meneghello Paolelli Associati, and Flia de-
signed by Alessandro Zambelli. Although with different creative
processes, the collections share a single red thread, namely the
accent on the concept of the hybrid, the mutual contamination of
indoor and outdoor spaces. In particular, Nui mini and Flia ad-
dress the theme of portability, granting consumers greater free-
dom to assign roles and functions to technical lighting products.

These products are conceived above all for protected out-
door areas – private residences, the gardens of apartment hous-
es, open-air zones of hotels and resorts, green areas in office
complexes – and interpret a philosophy of the brand and its prod-
ucts increasingly oriented towards interaction and juxtaposition
of indoor-outdoor zones and lighting fixtures.

The Luceplan outdoor collection forms a continuum with the
rest of the catalogue, which already contains other areas of spe-
cialization, from more decorative items for interiors to acoustic
solutions.
As always, the values embodied by every Luceplan project, also
in this new outdoor collection, are research and innovation in
