Designing something immaterial? The architect of light takes care of it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nA\nnew appointment with Icone Talks to discover together with Giulio\nCappellini, architect, designer and art director of Icone, what the\nprofession of Lighting Designer consists of. To do this, we invited\nLisa Marchesi, who has been doing this job for twenty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nGiulio\nCappellini. Can you explain what it means to be a lighting designer,\nwhat does it mean to design light?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisa Marchesi. I like to explain my work with a sentence that I found in Vittorio Storaro’s book of many years ago, a sentence by Alessandro Manzoni, which says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe light rains on everything and various colors arouses wherever it rests\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nBecause\nbasically light is life, it is part of our being. My job is to create\nlighting for all architectural environments, fixed spaces or\ntemporary spaces. They can be from gigantic environments, such as\ngreat architecture, or smaller spaces such as museums, homes and\nexhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nLighting\ndesigner is obviously a non-Italian term, in Italy we are often\ncalled lighting designers, we are a bit of a little-known hybrid in\nreality, because we take care of lighting things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything that is related to the world of architecture and interior design in some way has to be showcased, it has to be emphasized, and the best way to do it is to have the correct lighting.

We lighting designers take care of the lighting design; there is a very technical part that is based on the technical aspect of light, but there is also a much more emotional aspect linked to the atmosphere that is created in the rooms, which is often a little underestimated.

Mine is just the classic design job, as an architect who deals with materials does my material is light, I use light to create atmospheres, to create sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giulio Cappellini. <\/strong>This “design of the immaterial” is fantastic also because a beautiful interior, a beautiful architecture, if they are not illuminated in the right way, are useless. Beyond the atmosphere it can create, the right lighting is really fundamental because it gives you an always different perception of the same types of interiors, just as the right mix between natural light and artificial light is also fundamental, you need to find the right balance points. .

Also because, as I always say, the perception of light in Miami, where there is a very white light outside, and the perception of light in London, where the light is much more yellow, is completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisa Marchesi.<\/strong> Contextualization is very important, it cannot ignore the analysis of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nGiulio\nCappellini. <\/strong>Can\nyou tell us about the different fields in which you work? Who is\ncalling you to customize their light? Do you work with companies and\nindividuals, in museums and so on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nLisa\nMarchesi.<\/strong>\nI have been doing this job for almost twenty years now and in all\nthis time I have had the opportunity to work both for private\nindividuals and for the public administration. For the public we\nmainly talk about cultural heritage, therefore about museums and\nexhibitions, where obviously there is a sometimes very technical\napproach because it is necessary. Light can be beautiful but it\nhurts, if not used correctly it can lead to problems in the\nconservation of works of art as well.
\n
\nAs for private\nindividuals, they can be both big brands – I work a lot in the retail\nworld, therefore with fashion and luxury design brands – and private\nindividuals who ask to design for offices, for private homes for also\nvery particular environments, such as houses with artistic\ninstallations.
\n
\nI happened to find myself in very different\nsituations, from the private person who maybe calls you to do the\nlighting of the small apartment, to the two thousand square meter\nhouse, and so also in the world of retail, where it ranges from small\nshops to shops of over four thousand meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nGiulio\nCappellini<\/strong>.\nI remember that in the past in some clothing store to see the color\nof a jacket or a sweater well you had to go outside. Beyond the\nchoice of interior furnishings, light plays a fundamental role in\nretail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
