A Convergence of Art and Technology
In the heart of Milan, the Mandalaki Design Studio, a beacon of innovation in design and technology, has unveiled the Halo Project. This optical marvel not only redefines the boundaries of art installations but also offers a new perspective on space perception. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Halo Project stands as a testament to the fusion of art, design, and technology.
At its core, the Halo Project is an optical instrument, but to merely label it as such would be an understatement. Carved from a solid plate of high-end materials such as black anodized aluminum, refined iron, brass, and glass, its physical form embodies purity and minimalism. Yet, it is the advanced LED technology and its sophisticated optical system that steal the show, casting vast and precise projections of colors and shades that transform spaces into immersive experiences.
Founded in 2012 by Enrico De Lotto, George Kolliopoulos, and Giovanni Senin, with Davide Giovannardi joining the partnership a year later, Mandalaki Design Studio has always been at the intersection of art, design, and technology. Their approach combines rigorous research with innovative industrial design processes, resulting in creations that surpass conventional illumination to become high-conceptual value pieces.
The Halo Project, photographed by Marco Menghi and originating from Massa Carrara, Italy, in 2020, is a shining example of Mandalaki’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of design and technology. It invites viewers to explore the depth of space through light, offering a unique experience that is both enlightening and inspiring.
This piece not only highlights the innovative spirit of the Mandalaki Design Studio but also underscores the evolving relationship between art installations and space perception. As we move forward, the Halo Project serves as a beacon, guiding us towards a future where art and technology converge in the most beautiful and unexpected ways.
