ECAL – University of Art and Design Lausanne
Students from the Master's course in Product Design at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne developed new ideas for public lighting.
The starting point for all ewo development is the concept of precise systems in light direction. With its modular approach, ewo applies a concept in LED technology that is fundamentally different to existing conventional lighting technology.
This technology concept makes it possible to work with new parameters in design. ewo is particularly interested in provoking new formal approaches and typologies, in initiating and accelerating a new way of thinking: under the leadership of Alexis Georgacopoulos and Tomas Kral, students from the product design master’s course are developing new ideas for public lighting.
Six selected projects were presented at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan from 12.04. – 17.04.11.
