Lighting highlights from 2019 Milan Furniture Fair

Euroluce, the international lighting exhibition, runs every two years as part of the Milan Furniture Fair. In 2019, its 30th edition, more than 420 lighting designers and manufacturers exhibited at the fair. We’ve assembled some of the highlights below.

Scandal by Articolo Lighting

This Melbourne based lighting design studio made its debut at the Milan Furniture Fair in 2019, presenting its Scandal collection of pendants and wall sconces. The lights have an elongated profile, capped at both ends with rounded glass to conceal the light source. Their distinctive feature is a barrel-like cuff inlaid with hand woven brass mesh or leather. The stand, designed by Melbourne architecture practice and long time collaborator Studio Goss, was part of the Meet My Project group show located in the Brera Design District. Studio Goss also designed Articolo’s Melbourne and New York showrooms.

ZigZag by Jason Bird

Australian designer Jason Bird has created a sound absorbing suspension lamp for Italian manufacturer Panzeri. The lamps is intended to improve acoustic quality in open-space environments. “There is a need for a linear form in acoustic lighting,” Bird said. “I wanted a simple shape, refined and elegant but that could also maximizes acoustic and lighting performance. The ZigZag profile provides for an increased surface area that maximizes acoustic performance. The angles also help in reducing the direct reflection of sound waves.”

Panzeri is available in Australia from Light Culture.
