Dear readers,
Artificial light is a remarkable cultural achievement: From campfires,
to gas lamps, to coiled filament, up to the LED – an evolutionary and,
at times, truly revolutionary development.
Who would have thought even a few short years ago that we would
be able to control light intuitively with an app or gestures? That we
would be able to change the color of light at any time or freely direct
it upward or downward? That luminaires and spotlights would be able
to take on entirely new forms? That energy consumption could ever
be so low in relation to the luminous intensity? Or that LED light would
approach the quality of sunlight?
Creating a new culture of light – that’s the grand idea that drives us at
Occhio. Firstly, it comes down to the successful interplay between space,
architecture and perception. But more than that it’s about putting the
focus on people, helping them become the lighting designers of their
personal space and ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
Our comprehensive, highly innovative product portfolio is constantly
growing and adding solutions for private and public projects – with it,
we are putting the unique potential of Occhio in your hands.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Through the selected projects
in this Case Book, we invite you to experience the power of the new
culture of light from Occhio in various areas of life.
Be inspired!
