With the power that lighting has to shape architectural space, mediating our experience of it, it's little wonder that architects continue to engage in the design of lighting products themselves. It's also unsurprising that the typical design language of their large-scale projects finds expression in these smaller-scale objects, given the holistic way in which the architectural mind can view the world – and, of course, the desire to ensure a legibility of architect-designer authorship, not least in terms of branding.

In a relatively short space of time, LED as a lighting technology has come to rival the compact fluorescent lamp, the latter being heralded upon its launch as the obvious successor to the now decommissioned incandescent light bulb. Indeed, LED has leapfrogged over CFL and is set to become the long-term standard lighting source for the future. No wonder then that Euroluce’s high-end lighting exhibitors presented an enthusiastic adoption of this fast-developing technology.

Ah, the great outdoors. As the trend for a more ‘designed’ experience to spending time outside continues to grow – the garden, for example, being thought of increasingly within a private context as an additional room to the house – so the offering by lighting manufacturers of robust and contemporary lighting products designed specifically for external use increases. This year’s Euroluce was a showcase for a number of innovative designs.
