Euroluce 2025, the biennial lighting exhibition at Salone del Mobile.Milano, brought together 306 exhibitors, 45% of them international, to showcase a spectacular fusion of design heritage, technological innovation and sustainable experimentation.
Artemide.
This year's edition captured a unique balance between reissued classics and futuristic lighting concepts, celebrating both tradition and forward-looking creativity. 'At Salone del Mobile.Milano 2025, between quotations from the past, but with a clear and precise vision of the future that works through experiments on innovative materials and technologies, Euroluce 2025 is an eye-catching spectacle.'
Artemide stood out with Arctic, a modular lamp by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group), inspired by Archimedean solids and ice crystals. Transparent or mirrored materials housed a light source within an accessible and circular system. Also notable was Internod, designed with Arup and Stephen Phillips, a sustainable bamboo task light. Reissued icons included Cetra by Vico Magistretti (1969), Alcinoo by Gae Aulenti (1975), and Sintesi by Ernesto Gismondi.
Flos introduced innovations by the Bouroullec brothers, including Luce Cilindrica and Luce Sferica, blending industrial precision with artisanal finishes. Maap by Erwan Bouroullec used Tyvek and magnetic spheres to form an adaptable paper-like lamp. Michael Anastassiades unveiled Linked, a modular lamp in borosilicate glass, elegantly interconnected via spring links. Flos also reissued Seki-Han by Tobia Scarpa, now updated with dimmable LED lighting and a refined black iron base, and Biagio (1968) in a limited edition of 150 pieces in honey onyx, described as 'a glowing sculpture that blends craftsmanship and technological innovation.'
