How is light designed? What role does it play in space, architecture, and the way we live?
On January 15, at 6:15 pm, ADI Making Of… opens the year with a meeting dedicated to rethinking light, to be held at the Bohigas Pavilion at Eina (Carrer del Bosc, 2, Barcelona).
The session will bring together designers, companies, and students to share creative processes and projects that show how light is conceived, built, and transformed. Designer Manel Molina and entrepreneur and designer Joana Bover will explain the creation process of Fanalet, a family of outdoor luminaires that combines tradition and contemporaneity, produced by Bover. This will be followed by Antoni Arola and David Martí, who will delve into the development of Shiro, a family of luminaires recently reissued by Santa & Cole.
The academic perspective will come from a student of the Bachelor’s Degree in Design, who will present a wall sconce developed in the course Lighting Design Elements. In this course, students took as their starting point the MBM-2 wall lamp, designed by Oriol Bohigas, David Mackay, and Josep Maria Martorell, which won a Delta Award in 1966.
The event will conclude with a brief round table, moderated by Lluc Pallicer, recalling the never-built project that the school commissioned from the MBM studio in 1970. In addition to the speakers mentioned above, Beth Galí and Lluís Pau, former Eina students, will take part in the discussion, sharing their relationship with the school, with light, and with design.
