This thesis analyzes the evolution of lighting, from the discovery of fire to LED technology, examining its technological, social, cultural and, in particular, design impact. It presents renowned designers who, working with major manufacturers, have designed and produced iconic lamps in the lighting industry. It also focuses on the Made in Italy cataloging 48 lamps considered archetypes of the latter. The design theme (minimalism) is studied first historically, then technically by means of redesigns of iconic lamps belonging to this category. For the development of Libra, the case study of the Discovery lamp was taken into consideration: the materials and their relative weights were analysed; the shape of the circular profile; the fastening systems between the components. The concept developed for Libra proposes a minimal product, geometric, functional, modular, adaptable to different contexts and above all customizable.
Questa tesi analizza l’evoluzione dell’illuminazione, dalla scoperta del fuoco alla tecnologia LED, esaminandone l’impatto tecnologico, sociale, culturale e, in particolare, sul design. Essa presenta rinomati designer che, collaborando con importanti produttori, hanno progettato e realizzato lampade iconiche del settore illuminotecnico. Inoltre si concentra sul Made in Italy catalogando 48 lampade considerate archetipi di quest ultimo. Il tema progettuale (il minimalismo) viene studiato prima storicamente, poi tecnicamente per mezzo di ridisegni di lampade iconiche appartenenti a questa categoria. Per lo sviluppo di Libra è stato preso in considerazione il caso studio della lampada Discovery: sono stati analizzati i materiali e i relativi pesi; la forma del profilo circolare; i sistemi di fissaggio fra le componenti. Il concept elaborato per Libra propone un prodotto minimale, geometrico, funzionale, modulabile, adattabile a diversi contesti e soprattutto personalizzabile.

Abstract
This thesis analyzes the evolution of lighting, from the discovery of fire to LED technology, examining its technological, social, cultural and, in particular, design impact. It presents renowned designers who, working with major manufacturers, have designed and produced iconic lamps in the lighting industry. It also focuses on the Made in Italy cataloging 48 lamps considered archetypes of the latter. The design theme (minimalism) is studied first historically, then technically by means of redesigns of iconic lamps belonging to this category. For the development of Libra, the case study of the Discovery lamp was taken into consideration: the materials and their relative weights were analysed; the shape of the circular profile; the fastening systems between the components. The concept developed for Libra proposes a minimal product, geometric, functional, modular, adaptable to different contexts and above all customizable.I documenti in UNITESI sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
