As part of EXPO 2015, the futuristic Palazzo Italia building was fully equipped with an integrated GEWISS system. The technical element of the system features CVX cabinets, a Domo Center, junction boxes and modular devices. The white GEO and LUX plates serve as the surface-mounted controls, and the lighting system, too, bears the GEWISS brand, with modern Smart [4] and Street [O3] floodlights, featuring led technology for superb light quality and low operating costs.

The square, in the Milanese district of Santa Giulia, was built in front of Building 3 of the famous Sky Italia television network, to improve the pedestrian connections between the nearby station of Rogoredo and the surrounding promenade. At around 9,000 square metres, a large part of which is green, the public space has been paved in white granite stone, with the laying of a variety of plants, flower beds and shrubs, as well as benches, recharging points for electric cars and cycle racks. The square and the pedestrian paths are entirely illuminated using Urban [O3] street lighting. GEWISS’ light fittings provide excellent visibility, energy savings and minimal impact on the environment. The elegant and refined geometries of the Urban [O3] family fit perfectly into the architectural context of the square, enhancing the urban landscape, even during the day.

In the heart of the Alps, the capital of the Canton of Ticino is an elegant medieval city, boasting stunning, impeccably refurbished mansions, luxuriously decorated hotels and the famous neoclassical theatre. In such a prestigious context, the lighting system selected must be able to blend into the environment in a discreet and harmonious manner, to enhance the architecture and make streets and squares safe. GEWISS devices have successfully met both of these requirements, and local administrators for the Swiss city have expressed appreciation not only with regard to the aesthetic result, but also with reference to the recognised advantages that reliable lighting systems requiring minimal maintenance offer.
