RE Lighting Manifesto

RE Lighting is inventiveness, but mainly a rigorous and clear way of thinking and working. It's the ability to deal permanently with innovation and technology, with a "no frills" attitude, focused on the world of everyday things and a strong attention to efficient solutions.

RE Lighting is not about trends. The ability for optimizing the technological innovation available really stands out. RE Lighting is the courage to decide when to deal with a certain technology, regardless of clamour surrounding, but only according to its actual degree of ripeness.

Details, when they happily succeed, are not a decoration. Details have the crucial task of expressing what the project idea requires. The attention to detail is based on integrity of thought, and exemplary study of technology.

Light must be not taken for granted, it must be designed. RE Lighting is about a special quality of light, through the functional optimization of light sources and the appropriate form: light follows function. It's not only about getting a very effective light: everything must be illuminated.

RE Lighting is to be always in search of the virtuous cycle of the product, a willingness to play with all the existing possibilities, the habit of enjoying the good, while looking for ways to improve it.

The essence of RE Lighting is the high quality of light, which can be soft, or hard, but always solid and crystalline. The choice is to design and produce devices that emit light of high quality, and focus on the best balance between quantitative and qualitative performance.

It is willingness to put together the forms, the issues, the power of contemporary architecture and the poetics of the technical objects, in a designed and meticulously balanced relationship.

If you think this manifesto has to do simply with marketing, forget it. This isn't about money, it's about a mentality.
