Milano Salone 2010 [Lighting]



Lighting was the most inspiring and innovative area for me. OLED's were strongly shown, with its possibility to shine a whole surface. Several different use of LED's were suggested, combined with other materials such as wood and concrete, while Toshiba showed a replicated sky combining smoke and LED's with very fine control with the colors. On the other hand, Velux displayed a natural lighting system where the light came through a tunnel leading into the room, providing real natural light into a normally unreachable rooms.
With new lighting technologies, there will be so many opportunities for the positions of the light source in every kinds of design.

光関係のデザインが最も印象的でした。表面一体を発光出来るOLEDや、東芝のLEDと煙を使った空を再現した展示や、木材やコンクリートなどと組み合わせ等、LEDの可能性が展示されていました。その反面、Velux社のトンネルシステムを使って、普段自然光を採り入れられない部屋へ自然光を導くシステムなど、ローテクな物もありました。
この様な新しい発光技術によって、発光できる箇所が増え、あらゆるデザインの可能性が広がると思います。
