Lighting engineering is a fascinating area that combines the aesthetics and functionality of lighting, transforming both private and public spaces into welcoming, safe and evocative places. We had the opportunity to interview architect Gianni Rigo, a pioneer in the industry, to discover the secret behind the most innovative and sustainable LED lamps.
Architect Rigo studio is based in Scorzè (VE), told us his story and the roots of his studio. After collaborating with architects specialized in lighting engineering, he founded his own studio in 1977, focusing his attention on design applied to lighting engineering. In 2006 he involved his children in this passion, creating an associated studio that has carried out innovative and ambitious projects. One of the first challenges faced by architect Rigo was the "Rosso di Sera" project in Peseggia, in collaboration with Favaro1. This innovative project introduced the use of metal curbs with integrated lights and exploited LED technology in a pioneering way. Thanks to the improvement in the performance of LEDs, it was possible to design outdoor lamps such as Shining Curb, which today are part of Favaro1's leading products. These products stand out for their low consumption, durability, functionality and sustainability, reducing maintenance costs and offering cutting-edge solutions.
Lighting technology plays a fundamental role in both private and public contexts. The right outdoor lighting improves the perception of spaces, contributes to the definition of new atmospheres and scenarios, emphasizes details, elements, exits and entrances, increasing the level of safety and well-being. Architect Rigo underlines the importance of adequate design that takes into account lighting comfort, avoiding glare and light pollution.
Architect Rigo highlights the importance of research and constant updating in the field of lighting engineering. Continuous technological evolution allows us to offer products that are always in step with the times, offering innovative and sustainable solutions. Furthermore, communication is essential to make the public and designers aware of new proposals in the field of lighting engineering, especially in the case of objects with no other references on the market. The collaboration with Favaro1 is based on mutual trust and appreciation of the company's dynamic and innovative capabilities. Architect Rigo underlines the passion and commitment that will guide his studio in continuing to develop flexible and innovative solutions for external lighting, with the aim of increasing safety, improving visual comfort and the perception of environments.
In conclusion, the interview with architect Gianni Rigo allowed us to understand the importance of lighting engineering in design and in the field of sustainability. Continuous research, technological updating and communication are the cornerstones on which the work of a lighting designer is based, offering innovative and sustainable solutions to transform spaces into welcoming, safe and evocative places.
