The
project designed in regards to the Spidi showroom spaces and company lunchroom,
was created to express the value of quality, design and research in the field
of materials science which is closely tied to the company’s image.
The
showroom was devised as a protective “case” for Spidi samples: a light and long
structure made of steel and glass characterized by perfectly uniform lighting
through a combination of natural and artificial light designed for the company’s
photographic services.
The
colors and materials used (iron, stainless steel, glass and fabric) are
intentionally homogenous and monochromatic to highlight the product on exhibit.
The showroom’s prefabricated structure is made up of a series
of doorways whose transversal section was created to optimize the uniformity of
natural light in the internal spaces. Light enters the area through a ceiling
made of select frosted glass in which 40% of visible radiation penetrates and
then becomes diffused by the SPI canvas. In between the glass and diffusing
canvas, along the structure’s steel section, a series of double flourescent
lamps with various color tones are mounted.
The combination of the two lamps and the natural light is
controlled by a system of sensors and unique software that allows for a
quantitative and qualitative integration of natural light.
