Stefano Dall’Osso, in his work activities, deals with Lighting Design (consultancy,
design and direction of works on lighting systems), Industrial Design (conception,
design, engineering, prototyping and supervision of tests on lighting equipment),
LM&CS (consultancy, design and programming of light management and control
systems), Art Direction (consultancy for strategic and operational marketing for
companies in the lighting sector), as well as teaching in the academic field and
seminars and meetings-debates on the subject of light. The multidisciplinary working
group has several locations: the main one in Paradiso, Switzerland, in Italy, Malta and
the United Arab Emirates. It is a member of IALD, IESNA, APIL and is a professional
accredited by “Q Light” from Cielo Buio.
From the very beginning, our life is a rhythmic swing between darkness and light,
which makes existence surprising: inside and outside us. Man, with his intelligence,
uses this combination to make his days more pleasant and more productive.
It can be argued that light is able to snatch the life behind it out of the darkness and
make it visible for all to see. This is the main purpose of a Lighting Designer, to play
with light and shadow, to bring life out of something lifeless. In fact, light allows us to
see, but it is not enough to simply switch on lamps to ensure that an activity is carried
out properly. Each moment, each instant, requires different lighting, appropriate to the
environment and the precise instant we are living.
Artificial light, besides changing the visual perception of spaces and volumes,
transforms the character and personality of environments and, according to recent
scientific studies, plays a crucial role in influencing man’s psychophysical wellbeing,
modifying his state of mind and his perception of comfort.
As a result, one of the most extraordinary skills a Lighting Designer must have is the
ability to “shape” an environment made up of static elements. Current living trends
highlight the need to adapt the lighting atmosphere to the user’s needs as they change
throughout the day. This adaption is possible thanks to the union between light and the
management and control systems, bringing lighting to the current meaning of Smart
Lighting and moving the role of the Lighting Designer to “director” at the service of
personal well-being.
