The double lighting of the Foscarini Spokes in a video installation

On the occasion of Milan Design Week 2024, a video installation by Francesco Meneghini presents the new SPOKES AMBIENT version of the lamp designed by Garcia/Cumini.

An impressive, eye-catching tunnel, a choreography of video, music and light emphasises the innovative feature of Spokes Ambient compared to the original project: personal control of the lighting effect. Thanks to the two independent and dimmable LED sources of Spokes Ambient, it is now possible to modulate the lighting according to one’s own needs and preferences: The upward-facing source illuminates the surroundings with reflected light, while the downward-facing source illuminates the work surface. Light volumes that capture the light and project a kaleidoscope of light and shadow.

‘We contemplate a stream of landscapes that challenge the ordinary, a succession of desert scenarios, rhythmised by the slow surge of rising horizons that almost seem to breathe. At the intersection of these interpenetrating images, the visitor travels and listens to the pulse of an unexplored cosmos. This is a light that transforms, that narrates, that invites you to lose yourself in a silent expansion. With this installation, Foscarini not only illuminates, but also plays a visual melody for the eyes.’
