“Open Light handles a lot of design requests. We see an opportunity and jump on it. That freedom to operate quickly makes our work very unusual.”
Rombout Frieling
Program Manager Open Light
The Open Light program has a unique approach within ILI with a different conceptual framework. Researchers work in workshop settings to explore all of the possibilities of a particular technology, without any preconceived application ideas. All of the research still produces concrete results, however. These might be incorporated into one of the other research programs or presented at, say, a festival or a market prototype might be created.
- Objective: explore all the possibilities of new lighting technologies
- Program Manager: Rombout Frieling, Lecturer of Designing Quality in Interaction
- Partners: Visiting experts – people from industry, applications providers or the design world
