PERFORMANCE iN LIGHTING and Walter de Silva have created the perfect harmony between substance and meaning. German technology and Italian creativity is the happy correlation between these two distinct methodological approaches, resulting in a mutual benefit. Attention to detail, technological precision and a systematical study are the distinctive elements which drew Walter de Silva to effectively interpret a theme that is both intricate and technologically challenging as that of light.
Intuition and passion, a designer of unquestionable
talent, Walter de Silva has over the years developed
a unique and emotional design with a distinctive
style that can be transferred within the different
body of groups he collaborates. With his deep
knowledge of the automotive world and after major
collaborations within product design, Walter de Silva
has transposed his talent to create this new unique
collection designed for PERFORMANCE iN LIGHTING.
LIQUID, IN-TENSE and MERCURY are here with
lighting fixtures that express the perfect harmony
between a futuristic, dynamic, and intangible
aspects of their solidity sculptural timeless
design values. The wave represents the perfect
metaphor between energy and matter, a seductive
interpretation of wave particle duality in the
aspect of light as both a physical reality, living and
undulating.
Solid Waves
Motion, energy and light. LIQUID is the first luminaire designed by Walter de Silva for PERFORMANCE iN LIGHTING where technology and beauty come together in a unique design. A distillation of pure technological essence which explores reflections on the nature of light with aesthetic values of the highest quality. Light is energy, wave, evanescence. Metal is static and durable over time. The waves of a drop crystallise into a lightweight, substantial volume that expresses fluidity and dynamism at the same time.
Solid Waves: Solidity in term of durability and statics as a metal balanced with dynamism given by the transient of waves are the two concepts behind this new series. Light is energy, is a wave, is evanescent. Metal is static, is durable, is forever.
Looks like metal, a solid material that liquefies to communicate what is inside: motion, energy and light. The formal choice of the designer magnifies the beauty of the material reflections; the result is a realistic approach with deep thin multiple waves with no line visible.
Exclusive, Sculptural, Disruptive
Ethereal and light but intense. IN-TENSE, designed by Walter de Silva for PERFORMANCE iN LIGHTING, embodies the perfect combination of dynamism and fluidity. The almost skin-like tension of the material explodes in a three-dimensional creation, whose sophisticated line evolves and composes volumes in motion, while a meditated asymmetry regains the uniqueness of the essential natural element we know as light.
Simple, functional and modern on one hand and exclusive, sculptural, disruptive are the concepts behind this series: the light seems to flow from the ceiling into a bi-dimensional free space.
A sculptural and disruptive metal feeling underlines the status of futuristic appearance able to express digitalisation emphasising the precision for details.
An organic, warm, romantic technical revolution is the concept behind this new object of German quality.
Solid Waves
Roundness and voluptuousness. MERCURY, designed by Walter de Silva for PERFORMANCE iN LIGHTING, wraps light with its enveloping volumes. A technical revolution about the hot side of light. A durable metal soul emphasises a futuristic taste that interprets the needs of the digital age. A thin outer shell, slender, seemingly delicate, hides within it the most vibrant reflections of light.
Solid Waves: Solidity in term of durability and statics as a metal balanced with dynamism given by the transient of waves are the two concepts behind this new series. Light is energy, is a wave, is evanescent. Metal is static, is durable, is forever.
Design something evanescent with a metal shape means represents something with a solid material means to catch the moment, to freeze the moment. Compact, sculptural and attractive: this new series magnifies the beauty of the material reflections.
