As one of the 10 winners of the contest ExpoWanted organized by DesignWanted for Milan Design Week 19, we had a chance to interview Luca Pinotti, who designed Big_b together with Francesco Stravino.
Luca Pinotti:
“It’s an interactive desk lamp. Specific gestures turn it on and off, therefore we speak of interactivity. On top of this, the form of the lamp is generated by a social critique, which is the core of the project.”
Luca Pinotti:
“We find that such contexts are an excellent opportunity for young designers, a change both to emerge and to present themselves to the public. It will be interesting to follow the next editions of this context.”
Luca Pinotti:
“This product aims at raising a social critique against the usage and disclosure of data, and the violation of privacy through interaction with the product itself. The market nowadays is moving towards new products where the interaction with the object is crucial, it is an important theme.”
Luca Pinotti:
“The most difficult phases in the development of the lamp were project engineering and communication.”
Luca Pinotti:
“We’re working to put Big_b in production as some have shown interest in investing in the project.”
Luca Pinotti:
“Big_b is a product with a strong pop influence, we imagine it in a house or in a gift shop. It is both a lighting piece and a conversational trigger.”
