The project BULBO aims
to revolutionize the
relationship between
man and nature in the
domestic environment:
through the use of
advanced lighting
technology and with
great attention to form,
a typical characteristic
of Italian industrial
design, BULBO proposes
innovative solutions for
all environments devoid
of natural light.
BULBO lamps are
constructed with new LED
technology that produces
an optimized light
spectrum to stimulate
photosynthesis in plants
that are living with partial
or a complete lack of
sunlight. These devices
integrate low power
consumption technology
with a highly stylized
aesthetic and provide an
innovative and functional
Bulbo light and more
concept:
“Energy creates light.
Light gives energy to the
plant.”
BULBO is not just a
decorative lamp, but
a real design tool that
revolutionizes indoor
domestic gardening,
by inventing a food
supply chain solution
that encourages a new
relationship between
man and nature. BULBO
provides the opportunity
for anybody to grow
vegetables and herbs at
home all year round and
enjoy food in a natural
way in accordance with
the “Kilometer Zero”
trend.
BULBO fulfills the
current trends of bringing
nature back into our
cities, by transforming
underutilized space into
an opportunity for urban
cultivation. In the past 15

years farming has moved
from the countryside
to the city, and is now
referred to as “urban
gardening”. Thanks to
BULBO it is finally able to
move from the outdoor
urban environment into
the urban domestic space,
offering the opportunity
for the “apartment
garden”.

The BULBO group
consists of three young
graduates of Bologna,
Italy, who have recently
participated and won
a competition (Spinner
2013), which provides EU
funds to finance young
entrepreneurs, to move
forward with research
and development of
innovative technological
ideas in order to create
new businesses.
The project stems from
both technological and
scientific research initiated
by Lorenzo Antonioni, an
Industrial Design graduate
from the Politecnico of
Milan in early 2010.
The following 2
years of studies and
experimentations have
Bulbo team
carried out interesting
results so it was decided
to develop a product
directed to the domestic
market, specifically to
the individual consumer.
This has been the
starting point for the
collaboration between 28
year old designer Lorenzo
Antonioni, 25 year old
Chiara Piovene with a
degree in Agricultural
Science, and 27 year old
Tommaso Marzioni with
a degree in Business
Administration.
This is the team who
believed in the project
from its conception,
participated and won the
Spinner 2013 competition
and is now carrying out
the development of the
idea.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
The Spinner 2013
competition has
strengthened the
relationship between
the project creator,
Lorenzo Antonioni and
the Department of
Agronomy in Bologna
University. A full cycle of
experimentation started
in December 2012 at the
university laboratories.
The aim of these
experiments is not only to
guarantee the functioning
of BULBO devices, but
also to focus on different
plant families, in order to
adjust exactly the light
spectrum required by
each one of them.
By this way it will be
possible to give advice
to all consumers, helping
them in cultivating
whatever kind of plant
they like.

Cynara is a single-spot led (Light Emitting Diodes) light able to implement the natural vegetation growth for any type of plant. It has an extremely simple structure consisting of a long stem which allows to be easily put into the earth. It can be used either in small pots or in bigger ones by combining two or more units.
CYNARA works in vertical positions as well as in horizontal. This system fits perfectly for domestic cultivation purposes such as indoor and outdoor vegetable cultivations.
CYNARA provides a valid implementation of the plant growth performances strongly decreasing the power consumption, even in totally dark environments.

Horti lumen are professional led systems for intensive vegetable cultivations. Their technology is based on the selection of frequency light range detectable by plants and the removal of surplus light. Due to their flexible vertical and horizontal structure they can be used in domestic spaces such as, for instance, kitchens, cabinets, basements or in work spaces, offices, etc. Their adjustable structure allows the light source height to be modulated following the whole vegetation cycle, and adapting them to variable growing surfaces.
