The awards given to our products from the design world continue. We are proud to announce that Agorà (design Jean-Michel Wilmotte) and Crystal have been awarded the GOOD DESIGN® Award.

GOOD DESIGN® Award is organized annually by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design in cooperation with the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies and Metropolitan Arts Press, Ltd.

Approximately 5,000 shortlisted entries were judged by independent and international jurors with the awards given to the designs with the highest design quality, innovation degree, and superior design.

The simple yet highly detailed design of Agorà by architect J.M. Wilmotte integrates perfectly into architecture and the urban context, almost blending into material thanks to its extremely reduced depth.
Crystal delivers preciousness to the ceiling and throughout any space. The minimal linear form combines with the rich finish to create a magical play of light reflections, even when not in use. The new patented Opti Diamond optic is the result of a careful study of materials and engineering that optimize the catadioptric principle, producing an extraordinary brilliance, visual comfort and high efficiency.

Agorà and Crystal are on show until 12 May at the Good Design® Show at the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies in Athens.

Light That Moves: iGuzzini's Extraordinary Vision at Light + Building 2024


At Light + Building 2024 iGuzzini showed more than 13,000 guests our extraordinary vision of light: Light that moves.

Light that is increasingly better connected and more integrated. That cares for the environment and for people. That harmoniously encompasses every part of everyday life, from living to working, from intimacy to community.

The novelties presented emerge from a precise and evolved idea of light.

Light that is synonymous with technological innovation and integration into the architecture with Filorail, the smallest track in the world with an opening of just 3.6 mm and miniaturised hooks, to accommodate different types of products; among these is the Newfo spotlight, with its soft but solid shape, between a circle and a square, a tribute to Ufo born in 1977.

Light that is synonymous with visual comfort, uniformity, spaciousness and efficiency, thanks to Optidiamond and Optibeam optics made in the Italian factory in Recanati.

We introduced the concept of biophilic design with Light Shed Linen, the professional workplace lighting product made of linen.

We showcased a light that combines high design and performance at their best.

Light that illuminates art and beauty, light as art, that adapts to the shapes of works or objects. Light in motion that brushes the architecture of infinite lighting effects.

Because Light That Moves is light that moves spaces, culture, ideas.
iGuzzini Introduces Filorail, the New Recessed Track with an Ultra-thin Opening of Only 3.6 mm


Introducing Filorail, the new recessed track with an ultra-thin opening of only 3.6 millimetres. Thin, sinuous, nimble. It runs on horizontal and vertical surfaces like an invisible thread, drawing straight or curved lines.

Filorail gives life to a futuristic vision in which technology is integrated in an imperceptible way with architecture, creates a harmonious combination of innovation and design, responding to the needs of those who live spaces, without interfering with the aesthetic experience. A technological presence evident only in its effectiveness, not in its visibility.

At Light + Building 2024 iGuzzini presents Filorail, the electrified track that blends invisibly into the architecture, thanks to an opening of just 3.6 millimetres.

The task of an electrified track is to disappear, to blend in, to perform its functions inconspicuously. It is a useful and intelligent component, but really difficult to sublimate aesthetically within a space.

Filorail is the decisive product: a technological presence, evident only in its effectiveness, not in its visibility. The micro-connections allow it to accommodate spots or other lighting systems, leaving them centre stage.

Filorail is a structural graft, a new basis for designing museum and exhibition spaces. But it is also a solution that opens new perspectives of interpretation for the interior design of living, retail and hospitality spaces, because it combines the mimetic attitude of the system with the great luminous performance of iGuzzini lighting systems. It is a product designed to freely use technology within any living environment, without adding formal contents typical of the professional world.

The lighting systems that can be combined with Filorail low voltage are Newfo, Libera pendant, Palco LV, Robin, Laser Blade XS and Laser.

Come and discover Filorail at Light + Building 2024.

Light Shed Linen is the first professional lighting product made from linen. Made from Nature, to connect us with Nature. Light Shed is currently evolving with a new version that is even lighter and more sustainable. It is the result of innovative research into materials and processes that can drastically reduce environmental impact.

Light Shed 60 comes in three versions: Light Shed 60 in ABS, Light Shed 60 dB and Light Shed Linen. Each version contributes to "Designing Wellbeing", to design well-being in hybrid spaces with sustainable solutions, combining the function of light with that of sound absorption, integration of sensors, camera, loudspeaker and furniture, customising finishes and colours.

Useful lighting that is only activated when needed. Automatic functions, activated by integrated wireless or wired sensors like Organic Response, BLE or DALI-2 that can also easily be managed by voice command, smartphones or smart buttons, help to lower energy consumption with overall savings of up to 90 percent.

Linen connects us with feelings linked to Nature, the simple things in life, like slowness, and the value of ancient, timeless knowhow. Linen is refined, light, pure and natural. Biophilic design makes us happier and healthier by reinforcing our connection with the natural world. Facilitating the intake of natural light, which changes throughout the day and seasons, is a fundamental principle of biophilic design.

Pleasant, embracing, comfortable light. The rich distribution of Light Shed Linen light emission increases the perception of space by balancing luminance on different planes and helping achieve optimum horizontal and vertical semi-cylindrical lighting levels. UGR<19.

Light Shed Linen offers a significant increase towards circularity by reducing the environmental impact of the product body with more natural, renewable materials that are lighter (-46%*) and more responsible. The high efficiency and intelligence of the system also optimizes the usage phase, which affects 90% of the total environmental impact.

A sensor built into the Light Shed Linen luminaire activates artificial light only when natural light needs replacing. And the light it uses is equally good, variable, comfortable, pleasant and sustainable with an efficiency level of up to 136 lm/W.

Thanks to beacons integrated in smart devices, digital information, like push notifications, can be sent, indoor navigation can be enabled and space management data collected directly on your smartphone, thanks to Organic Response sensors.

Light Shed Linen is designed to integrate a loudspeaker, camera or environment sensor, to make spaces safer and more pleasant in every respect.
We are proud to announce that our Agorà Floodlight has earned the prestigious Platinum recognition at the Grand Prix du Design Award in Montreal for its exceptional performance, innovation, efficiency, ease of integration/use. The Grand Prix du Design Awards is an annual international competition awarding excellence in architecture, branding, product design, recognizing the brilliance and skill of creative professionals who have truly set themselves apart through exemplary practice.

Agorà embodies its dual function in its very name. An architectural spotlight created for installation not necessarily in squares as such but in all urban places, or meeting places, in our cities, towns or neighbourhoods. The Greek word « agorà » means to gather, to summon so that Agorà becomes a tool bringing life to cities, offering citizens and people light for meeting and living well while feeling safe in the streets and squares of our cities.

Agorà's design by architect J.M. Wilmotte integrates perfectly into architecture and the urban context, almost blending into the material thanks to its extremely reduced depth. It is an ideal tool for bringing life to cities and to offer citizens light for meeting and living well while feeling safe in the streets and squares of our cities.

The range of dimensions is now broader, with the new and even more miniaturized slim version measuring only Ø 204mm, expanding versatility in urban and residential settings alike.

And much more. Agorà Ø254mm and Agorà Ø 313mm (compact and slim versions) now include new professional street optics for flange installation on poles to obtain uniform and even light distribution on horizontal surfaces, thereby expanding the offering of pole-mounted Multi Agorà.

At MDW 2023, iGuzzini is Living Vibes: the collection specially designed for the new living atmospheres that gives its name to the space designed by Stefano Boeri Interiors with the lighting scenography by Artec Studio, in one of the most characteristic and fascinating locations in Brera (Via Palermo 11, Blindarte).

Through the Living Vibes collections (Libera by Artec Studio, Allure, BeTwo by Alfonso Femia/AF Design, Whisper, Le Perroquet by Piano Design) and Italian Echoes (the reissues of the historical archive Polsino by Gio Ponti, Zurigo by Luigi Massoni, Sorella by Harvey, Nitia by Rodolfo Bonetto and Clan by Harvey), the installation tells the company's vocation for design and its new proposals for living environments.

Metal mesh and wood cover the internal surfaces of the space, adapting to its shapes but giving new meanings to their perception. Light guides and gives suggestions to the viewer through a multimedia synaesthesia of light effects, sounds and colours.

iGuzzini is also present in the iconic courtyard of the Università Statale, illuminating the installations of:
Stefano Boeri Interiors for Amazon, "The Swing", at the Cortile della Farmacia, where it will also exhibit 3 products from the Italian Echoes collection: Polsino; Whisper; Zurigo.
  • Inside the Cortile d'Onore, Massimo Iosa Ghini creates "The Oasis. Microarchitecture". A permeable palisade of wood and greenery that separates and encloses visitors for a moment of stillness. The lighting in the evening is entrusted to Underscore inOut luminaires and Palco Low Voltage projectors (∅ 49; Medium and Wide Flood optics).
  • The "Free.dom" installation curated by Simone Micheli as part of Interni's Re-Evolution FuoriSalone 2023 is a reflection on the freedom of choice within the possible future evolutions of the human being. iGuzzini supported the architect in the construction of the installation by providing Palco LV luminaires (Recessed ø 37mm, Wide Flood optic) for lighting the display cases.

During the MDW, iGuzzini will exhibit a selection of the Italian Echoes collection (Polsino by Gio Ponti, Nitia by Rodolfo Bonetto) in the boutique windows of Giuseppe Zanotti, a high fashion brand in the footwear sector, in Via Montenapoleone

iGuzzini illuminates “Behind the impossible” by BUOROMILAN, at the Fonderia Napoleonica Eugenia: an exhibition of works designed by the world's most daring architects.
