LIGHT4 Company profile 2014

PROFILE

Different light solutions but just a single way of being a company:

this new brand of lighting, based in the Treviso area, offers “made in Italy” products

for the contract furnishing sector in particular.

Its products are successfully innovative, elegant and functional.

With an average age of just over 30 years old,

the work team has already gained longstanding experience in the lighting sector.

The company project of LIGHT4, however, is based on a desire to open up new market horizons.

Its sales set-up is adaptable and operates on a global scale.

Company organization is streamlined and efficient, highly geared to custom-made products,

while end results always reveal high quality standards.

But LIGHT4 is much more:

its products are designed and made as a true message:

light is knowledge, illumination is meaning.

A new dynamic company: LIGHT4

ML, Vintage,

Façon de Venise and Itama

are the different brands

that LIGHT4 offers the market.

Each one of these brands expresses

the accurate stylistic choices that provide

character and appeal to the design of the luminaires that LIGHT4 creates.

The initial element is always only one, light, which is expressed in many different ways:

colour effects, furnishing solutions and time-honoured styles.

New products offered by each different brand are always functional, reliable and original.

With each shape and each technical solution, LIGHT4 always reveals its creativity.

Our starting point is light, yet there are no limits to its destination:

focusing straight on the future, avoiding reality for a fleeting second, or, more simply,

enhancing your interior with simple functional elements, perhaps without rejecting exemplary classic shapes.

In each case, they are “sensible solutions” that do not require explanations.

Light for furnishing, observing and playing ...

LIGHT4 Srl was established in April 2007

and immediately becamea creative workshop.

The current brands were acquired one at a time,

each one with its stylistic identity

and clearly defined market sectors:

in chronological order,

ML, Vintage, Façon de Venise and Itama

have become part of the LIGHT4 project.

Even though the company is new,

with a young average age for its staff,

the work team boasts deep-rooted experience in the lighting sector,

in both planning and design, as well as in sales.

A further guarantee of quality comes

from the company’s source of production:

materials and assembly operations are strictly “made in Italy”

while its suppliers are mainly located in the nearby vicinity

of the company headquarters in Quinto di Treviso.

A high level of outsourcing is accompanied by a slimline,

adaptable organizational set-up for LIGHT4,

which is highly specialised in assembling end products.

Specific company choices enable LIGHT4 to highly focus on custom-made products,

on design and on the contract furnishing sector. The company’s ability to effectively adapt

to new frontiers in the lighting market is clearly evident, particularly in international markets.

LIGHT4 operates on a global scale: over the 60% of its turnover comes from the export,

from main EU countries, the US, Russia and the Middle East.

Professionalism and experience provide “made in Italy” design

ML is the new brand created from the legacy of the well-established brand Muranoluce,

confirming its development according to the concepts of modern style and design.

With its original versions and new lines, the ML2011 catalogue presented in September

focuses on innovative technical solutions.

New materials such as aluminium and diffusers in prismatic methacrylate

combine with new glass elements and fine details.

Surprising effects have been achieved with screen printing and sandblasting,

combining minimalist design and simple lines with highly prestigious decorative elements.

Some of the new features are the outcome of partnerships with various designers:

Drop and Fade have been created by Brian Rasmussen, Fiodor by Diego Chilò,

and Silhouette by Mauro Marzollo.

The products in the new ML catalogue are presented in industrial settings to reintroduce

a modern and versatile style.

An additional new feature is Mlampshades,

a mini brand entirely dedicated to a wide range of lampshades.

The range offers many versions:

42 different variations (including suspended/table/floor and wall lamps)

are all available in 10 different coloured fabrics. ML leads you to new scenarios,

where lighting means know-how.

As its name indicates,

this brand focuses on the past,

reintroducing and expressing it with timeless designs.

The structure of its suspended lamps, ceiling lamps

and wall lamps has followed a tradition of lighting,

which extends from Baroque-style lamps

to polychrome glass experimental solutions.

With their stylish lighting, Vintage brand products provide

an excellent combination of furnishings and decoration, luxury and functionality.

A touch of glamour enhances top-quality products,

with daring modern details to make the most classic shapes innovative.

The Vintage brand also expresses the highly versatile nature of LIGHT4,

offering solutions for the contract furnishing sector,

with custom-made lighting installations and services.

A new concept of luxury is communicated,

and thanks to a combination of classic lines, modern taste and innovative materials,

the product lines of this brand create highly attractive contrasting effects.

These special features enhance the most diverse interiors,

offer extra personality and place Vintage in a precise position:

providing not only lamps but also sensations.

The design path followed concentrates on increasingly daring lines,

or everlasting interaction between the past and future.

Traditional refinement provides prestigious contemporary luxury in all possible contexts.

Stylish furniture: “Interiors” is a new series from Vintage.

This brand, which expresses the fusion style of LIGHT4 at its best, extends its horizons.

In the recent catalogue, a new chapter is included alongside lighting,

dedicated to complementary furnishing items:

mirrors, tables, chairs and much more.

Everything has been created, thanks to a specific company strategy:

to offer not only simple objects but also a true “lifestyle”.

LIGHT4 products offer much more than material essence, where unmistakable fine craftsmanship prevails,

providing expression, communication and stylish ideas.

Thanks to the products in the “Interiors” range, Vintage confirms its position as an all-round brand,

extending its range of top-level products to include other sectors.

New complementary furnishing items are carefully selected and specifically

designed to convey the style of this brand: a blend of Baroque

and ultra-modern style is immediately noticeable.

Lathe-turned details, silver nitrate treatments for glass sheets, lacquers,

coatings and all production phases are characterised by genuine artisan passion and

“made in Italy” processes, making LIGHT4 creations even more luxurious.

Excellence, a touch of glamour and great personality, thanks to elegant classical lines

and an attractive modern look:

the Vintage style of LIGHT4 is ready to conquer all the most exclusive interiors.

Let it charm you!

INTERIORS

They surprise us, make us dream and arouse our interest:the lamps and solutions offered

by Façon de Venise are the essence of experimentation. This brand is dynamic,

offering innovative up-to-date luminaires. Creative design and materials

are not restricted by any rules. This is the “DNA” of the most striking

and original LIGHT4 brand: a combination

that always leaves you speechless, without exaggerating.

It is a matter of personality,

successfully making the best use of light

and its potential to express new aesthetic concepts.

This design provides free expression

and functionality for objects.

With this awareness,

the future ideas of Façon de Venise

are not mere theoretical speculation but adapt

to create each attractive furnishing element.

The lines of this brand

have already been chosen

for the interiors

of numerous fashionable

and original bars/restaurants.

The future of lighting starts here.

Itama is a young, Italian product design firm

that specializes in interior lighting fixtures

and works on in-house projects.

It was established in 2006

as a design-driven company

thanks to an artistic idea of Massimo Tonetto,

an architect who gained valuable experience working

with leading companies in the lighting sector and focusing on interior and industrial design.

Itama design stands out with its functionality and simple, elegant lines.

Warm lights and rigorous shapes turn surrounding space

into a spectacular scenario of colours and unforgettable emotions.

The distinct personality of Itama lamps offers a rich variety of visual sensations and creative solutions that

redefine the furnishing concept.

Itama currently manufactures all its products in Italy, fully focusing on Italian industrial design.

The first Light4 flagship store in Italy features urban style. It is a showroom, a retail outlet and much more:

for the design of the new flagship store opened on 1st September in downtown Milan,

our art director Brian Rasmussen was inspired by the “metropolitan city”.

Visitors can follow a path towards light, where at each stop they can discover the top products

of our four brands: ML, Vintage, Façon de Venise and Itama.

The 80-square-metre space at number 34 Via Carducci spreads over

a single floor,

with three large

window display areas.

Laura Corbo and Luca Allevi are the partners, along with Light4, of the new store:

their broad knowledge of design and technical lighting is ideal for

assisting customers in their choices, whether they are interior designers,

lighting engineers or home enthusiasts.

Having made its debut in the capital city of design,

Light4 aims to leave its mark!

Vera Barindelli, Architetto e Interior Design con studio in Via Mazzucchelli 3 a Cesano Maderno - [email protected] - http://urlin.it/53ff9Nata 35 anni fa, dopo il Liceo Artistico si laurea al Politecnico di Milano. Durante la collaborazione con lo studio di Architettura “STUDIOSETTE”, si cimenta nella ristrutturazione della Ghiacciaia di Palazzo Borromeo, a Cesano Maderno: qui può esprimere quella semplicità ed eleganza che contraddistingueranno i suoi lavori futuri. Oggi lavora soprattutto al servizio dei privati, plasmando gli ambienti con linee e volumi in una dimensione reale e con materiali classici, ma trattati in chiave moderna. La sua progettazione va fino alla coordinazione di ogni singolo elemento e suppellettile in modo che si accordi con il tutto. Born 35 years ago, after the Art School takes a degree at the Politecnico of Milan. During the collaboration with the architectural studio “Studiosette” she tests the Borromeo Palace’s Icehouse, in Cesano Maderno: here Vera can express that simplicity and elegance which would mark her future works. Nowadays she mainly works to private projects, modelling the ambiences with lines and volumes in a real dimension and with classical materials used in a modern way. Her design comes until the coordination of every element, so that it can suite with all the rest.

è proprio casa mia”. Esordisce così Vera Barindelli parlando della sua casa. Quella in cui, bambina, viveva insieme ai genitori e al fratello. E che ora ospita anche la sua, di famiglia. Siamo in Brianza, su un viale ricco di storia che, un tempo, ospitava imponenti

cedri del Libano e dimore. Ultima sopravvissuta tra le tipiche ville lombarde, la casa della famiglia Barindelli era stata restaurata negli anni Settanta, senza tener però conto del suo passato. Tre anni fa, Vera decide di tornare con suo marito e i suoi due bimbi, e di riportare la struttura al suo splendore originario. Due anni di cantiere hanno cambiato volto agli interni e ridistribuito gli spazi: i genitori al primo piano, Vera e famiglia al piano rialzato, per entrambi una taverna. Gli impianti sono stati rifatti con riscaldamento a pavimento, i vecchi serramenti e i

tavolati eliminati, il cappotto introdotto e la planimetria ampliata, con l’aggiunta di quell’area che oggi ospita l’ufficio, il soggiorno e la taverna. La luce naturale filtra ovunque, grazie all’utilizzo di quelle enormi vetrate che Vera ama. Le vetrate delle finestre, ma anche della grande porta scorrevole Rimadesio che separa, all’occorrenza, il soggiorno dalla cucina ma che in realtà rimane sempre spalancata, per il forte senso di ospitalità della famiglia. La luce illumina ambienti chiari e minimali, dove il parquet Roven in rovere sbiancato verniciato all’acqua (fatta eccezione per il bagno con minipiscina, dove troviamo invece una piastrella bianca lucida) è accostato alle porte a tutta altezza di Rimadesio e agli arredi in legno a vista. All’ingresso, l’accoglienza è affidata ad una grande cornice antica, lascito di una vecchia zia. Un ricordo di famiglia, come anche i

quadri del nonno che dominano il soggiorno. Alla sua sinistra trova posto l’ufficio, uno spazio piccolo ma ben attrezzato con un mobile/archivio realizzato su misura dalla lecchese Citterio, a cui un grande quadro di Fiorenzo Barindelli pare fare la guardia. Collegato all’ufficio, ma con un ingresso separato, l’ampio soggiorno gioca attorno al grande divano Groundpiece di Flexform, affacciato sullo splendido giardino e accostato ai mobili in rovere sbiancato firmati Poliform. Come in tutta la casa, anche qui l’illuminazione artificiale la regalano i faretti ad incasso forniti da Light4Store di Milano, e nascosti negli abbassamenti in cartongesso che hanno ridotto l’eccesiva altezza dei soffitti (3.20 cm). La cucina in poliestere lucido è stata realizzata da ABC Cucine. Due sono invece le aree in cui la zona notte si divide: l’una composta dalle due

camere – che un giorno diventeranno le due camerette – e dal bagno con doccia (realizzato su misura da Arredamenti B & C di Cesano Maderno), l’altra composta dal grande bagno Boffi, con vasche in Cristalplant e minipiscina, e da quella che attualmente è la stanza dei giochi, ma che un domani diventerà la camera padronale. Se nella stanza matrimoniale domina il wengé di Molteni&C, la cameretta è invece un trionfo di favole e colori pastello, con quel cielo stellato a cui tanti piccoli led danno vita. Ovunque, i tendaggi realizzati da Nuvolinea di Saronno in misto lino schermano i serramenti in alluminio (di La Finestra di Cesano) e le vetrate realizzate dalla Vetreria Belvedere di Binzago. Una scala con parapetto in vetro conduce alla grande taverna. Ancora una volta, un ambiente “da famiglia”. Ancora una volta, una stanza felice.

“

Lo studio di Vera, luminosissimo e con affaccio sul bel giardino, è arredato con i mobili su misura realizzati dalla ditta Citterio di Sirone. Sulla sinistra, un’opera di Fiorenzo Barindelli, quotato artista e zio di Vera. Al parquet in rovere sbiancato posato da Colnaghi

Giuseppe (lo stesso di tutta la casa) ben si abbina l’appendiabiti del giovane brand èlunapiena, con base

a Cesano Maderno

The study of Vera, bright and overlooking the beautiful garden, is furnished with bespoke furniture made by the company Citterio of Sirone. On the left a work by Fiorenzo Barindelli, famous artist and Vera’s uncle. To the oak flooring (the same throughout the whole house) matches well the clothes hanger of the young brand Èlunapiena, based in Cesano Maderno

La grande area living con, in primo piano, il tavolo da pranzo e, sullo sfondo, il soggiorno. I mobili tv

– di fronte al tappeto Tisca - sono il modello Sintesi di Poliform (dove poggia la lampada Mistral fornita

da Light4Store di Milano), il divano è il modello Groundpiece di Flexform. Tutte le composizioni

floreali e la scultura (sulla sinistra) sono stati forniti da Il Bocciolo di Cesano Maderno, mentre

i quadri astratti che arredano la colonna (sulla destra) sono stati realizzati da Silvia Bonomi. Nella

pagina precedente: il tavolo da pranzo (Tabula di Rimadesio) in vetro bianco è addobbato per il

Natale ed è circondato dalle iconiche Panton Chair. La bella sospensione Bloom, fornita da Light4Store di Milano, si riflette nella vetrata scorrevole Graphis

di Rimadesio, dietro cui fa capolino la cucina in poliestere lucido realizzata da ABC Cucine di Seveso

The large living area with, in the foreground, the dining table and in the background, the living room. The tv furniture - in front of the Tisca carpet - are Sintesi by Poliform (where the Mistral lamp provided by Light4Store of Milan rests), the sofa is the model Groundpiece by Flexform. All the flower arrangements and the sculpture (on the left) have been provided by Il Bocciolo of Cesano Maderno, while the abstract paintings that decorate the column (on the right) were made by Silvia Bonomi. In the previous page: the dining table Tabula by Rimadesio in white glass is decorated for Christmas and is surrounded by the iconic Panton Chair. The beautiful Bloom suspension, provided by Light4Store of Milan, is reflected in the Rimadesio Graphis sliding glass door, behind which the kitchen in glossy polyester produced by ABC Cucine of Seveso
