BUT WHERE HAVE THE INVENTORS GONE? LORENZO DAMIANI



Lorenzo Damiani / Packlight / 1995 / SELF-PRODUCTION  previous next 
Osram Dulux fluorescent light bulb, including flex, switch and plug, packed in a transparent blister to be used as a «diffuser»; 14 x 6 x h 24 cm. «Packlight» proposes a reflection on the destiny of packaging and suggests taking a different look at a «poor» and usually undervalued component of the product. This was Damiani's first design. Conceived in 1995 and presented at Opos 97, it was widely published and brought Lorenzo, at the age of twenty-three, to the forefront of the Italian design scene. In 1996 «Packlight» won the Compasso d'Oro award for young designers as well as the first prize in the competition «Osram: Toward a New Ecology of Light».
