La collezione Bellini-Pezzoli si forma a Milano dagli anni Sessanta del Novecento indirizzandosi verso l'opera di artisti contemporanei - sia italiani che stranieri - che hanno scelto il vetro come medium espressivo. In catalogo, oltre a manufatti appartenenti a una produzione in serie di altissimo livello, pezzi unici di artisti del vetro quali i veneziani Silvano Rubino, Michele Burato, Luciano Vistosi o il giapponese Yoichi Ohira, che interpreta il mondo del vetro muranese alla luce della sua formazione orientale. Particolare attenzione viene riservata al muranese Lino Tagliapietra, oramai oggetto di unanime riconoscimento internazionale. Infine sono presenti opere dello statunitense Studio Glass (artisti quali Dale Chihuly, Richard Marquis, Toots Zynsky) oltre a quelle di Clara Belfrage e Tim Edwards provenienti dall'Australia.

A global survey of the most exciting lighting designs for interior spaces, featuring the latest interactive technologies, energy-efficient systems, and otherworldly experiences

The role of light in architecture extends well beyond practical requirements. Light can create an environment, saturate a space with emotion, and compose spatial illusions. When manipulated in the right ways, light makes an architectural space livable, shapes it, and guides the inhabitant through it. As our homes and buildings become increasingly interactive and connected to the “internet of things” (where physical objects such as a lamp or microwave are programmed in the “cloud”), the creative possibilities for lighting are growing exponentially.

This timely publication captures the most imaginative ideas for the use of light in homes and buildings. Some 200 projects are organized into three sections: lighting that transforms space, lighting that alters the experience of time, and lighting that evokes emotion or psychological change. Projects range from design solutions—practical applications and techniques for improving the ambience and function of our spaces for living and working—to highly experimental or immersive experiences that induce physiological responses or use entirely new sources of light, such as bioluminescence or rarefied gasses.

Nella pubblicistica, così come nell'opinione comune, la figura di Michele De Lucchi ha trovato posto in agevoli confini, entro una semplice quanto rassicurante definizione: quella del brillante designer di tipica estrazione italiana, in quanto tale non esente da sistematiche, sempre più frequenti incursioni nell'area del progetto di interni e di architettura.

In this first book about the rather young discipline, the author consolidated its key principles, so that they can be consulted, referenced and utilised by both design students and professionals.

Only when the perfect balance between visual beauty and functional performance is achieved, can a product provide a consistent and successful user experience. The discipline of CMF design focuses on designing and specifying colours, materials and finishes to support both functional and emotional attributes of products. The work of the CMF designer combines aesthetics and practical knowledge of materials and technologies with intangible human perceptions of value.

This area of design expertise is increasingly in demand. Consumer product manufacturers have an enhanced awareness of its great potential for diversifying product portfolios at relatively low costs, while still maintaining a similar or the same product shape, functionality or tooling. It can work as a key avenue to create a sense of novelty and higher value propositions. From a marketing perspective, CMF design is a valuable tool when it comes to positioning products, collections and categories according to market tiers and consumer segmentations. 

Introducing the CMF process and detailing the areas of colour, material and finish design, this book serves as a valuable source of information about this emerging professional discipline and its fundamental principles.
