iGuzzini illuminazione in New York
With the 25 May 2010 inauguration, there is now iGuzzini partner assistance in New York. In Manhattan, an area of around 500 square metres on the second floor of an elegant Midtown building is the place where those interested in lighting design can go, whether they are architects, designers or lighting designers. Like all of the latest generation iGuzzini showrooms, the one in NY features a “lighting laboratory”: an area in which various typical environments are reproduced: a museum, a store, a brick facade, which can be used to experiment with and assess the effects of different lamps and luminaires and to understand just how important a role light plays in the perception of shapes and colours. The area will also host events and initiatives aiming to sensitise people so that they are aware of the way they use light. Good light, which is a truly active part of the entire quality design process.
