With SISTEMI, Davide Groppi searches the essence of light, space and all its infinite possibilities. To take light anywhere, freely, without any electrical constraints.
Until now we have sought to make the source, the bulb, invisible, leaving the light to speak for itself. Light and all that must be lit.
We have transformed and dematerialised light-objects to make them disappear, making light pure emotion, patterns that explode in space, lines, points and swirls, no longer constrained by cables, plastic and metal. Only light.
SISTEMI takes this challenge one step further, seeking to definitively free the light.
A stroke, a line, a cut or a point in space. Space as a canvas, space as breath, air, energy. Space as a synergy of solids and voids, shadow and light.
In a lit space, light becomes a woven pattern, harmony, a luminous score of shining notes, an improvisation charged with freedoms on the wall-canvas.
We strive to create the light of the future, always bearing in mind that the best lamp is that which does not try to steal the scene, but which wants to share it with the light.
Where possible, reserved, almost invisible, allowing the light to dance freely in the space.
Direct, indirect, diffused light. Light running on digital tracks, ultra-light and almost invisible wires, modular tapes that can be laid limitlessly on stairs, windows, glass panels. Circuits that close, accent lighting, ultra-light diodes built by 3D printers. All this is SISTEMI, a structure integrating four different, modular and compatible designs. A sign made of different lines, different thicknesses, with the linearity of an ink pen that, rather than tracing ink marks, leaves lines of light.
Technology helps to break down the boundaries. Intangible, almost invisible materials, hidden, camouflages conductors, thin cobwebs of filaments that carry and draw the light.
Absolute freedom, absolute spatiality, absolute creativity.
