COELUX – Experience the Sky – won a coveted Good Design Award ( Gold ) in the Product Design category in recognition for outstanding design and innovation.
Born from the desire to communicate natural light, CoeLux is the result of a 12-year scientific research project by Professor Paolo Di Trapani, a physicist of the Department of Science and High Technology at the University of Insubria in Como.
It is a system able to reproduce sun and sky.
“ CoeLux is a clever merger of science, knowledge, technology and creativity to deliver great product. A first floor apartment resident can now install a skylight without upsetting the second floor neighbour! Beautifully resolved.
This is a significant achievement considering the number and calibre of entries received this year.” ……………………………. The Good Design Awards Jury citation
