Spoon is the new urban lighting system designed by Atelier(s) Alfonso Femia for Cariboni Group
The project stems from a lucid and severe reflection: the outdoor lamp has been relegated to a hyper-technological dimension for too long, or it has been filled with pseudo-classicism. To define urban comfort, it is necessary to synchronize lighting with contemporary scenarios. For this reason, the new product line includes urban lamps able to dialogue and react to changing situations. Not just objects but integrated and coherent ones to the rewriting of cities. Spoon by Cariboni Group responds to the challenge of designing a dynamic element, almost a living body that can be adapted to different scales, geometries and positions between the specific space and the overall environment.
The partnership between the studio and the company has, therefore, resulted in four urban lamps of different sizes that can be fixed on tall and sharp vertical rods, on low cylindrical stems, on the wall or ceiling. Each lamp is connected to the support structure with a joint that allows it to be tilted in continuous adjustment, for precise aiming of the light emission. Numerous optical distribution options are available for each lamp for street lighting and architectural projection.
Cariboni Group has decided to integrate its Eco-Centric Lighting optical systems into this new product line, which offers a new balance between light and darkness at night while respecting the biological rhythms of flora, fauna, and human needs for safety and well-being. Each lamp in the Spoon line has been designed to last a long time and withstand even the harshest environments. The source, power supply, and control pack can be replaced, maintained, and upgraded to extend the product life.
