VIENNA, FOR ALESSILUX
What would the light bulb have looked like if Edison had the same possibilities we have today? To explore that answer, and celebrate the birth of the modern lightbulb, we went back in time – to Vienna and a belle-époque world of fairy-tale ballrooms and amazing opera houses – filled with colourful crystal chandeliers.
Nowadays LED lighting is ubiquitous, and given how much energy and emissions it saves, that is a wonderful thing.
Back in the day, ALESSI were one of the first brands to really adopt LED lighting as a design challenge. The LED revolution was still in its infancy when we were asked to work on a range of extraordinary, eye-catching LED bulbs.
The vision? To tell the story of light, with four unique lightbulbs as the protagonists.
