Thanks to its great experience, Lam32 - the Italian company specialized in the creation of custom lighting devices-proved to be the ideal partner for the lighting project of Carnal Hall in Geneva, a space for creative aggregation created inside Institut Le Rosey, one of the most prestigious colleges in the world.
Carnal Hall is a futuristic structure resembling a flying saucer crossed by a blade of light, resting on a green platform. Inside, it hosts a 900-seat auditorium, a theatre, a learning centre, design, art and cookery ateliers, and a photography lab: a space for creative aggregation destined to become the new cultural pole of Geneva.
In order to illuminate such an important and unique structure, it was necessary to create a range of custom-designed products, able to group different technological functions.
During the creation of architectural structures, architect Bernard Tschumi made all the lines of fire system smoke detection, alarm and dynamic light illumination system converge inside specific seats obtained through concrete casts in the building’s attic. This is reason why the production needed to find a creator and purveyor of specific lighting devices, able to integrate all the various aggregated functions.
Lam32, thanks to a skilful mechanical design and a precise selection of employed technologies and architecture materials, was able to meet the needs of this particular project, creating a series of special appliances with a specific design and convenient large-sized magnetic support systems (up to 9 meters long), while holding down costs and the overall weight of the manufactured objects.
To create these special devices, the company used latest-generation LEDs with high chromatic output levels and dynamic control of luminous intensity, while enabling the coexistence of all the smoke detection systems and alarms of the whole building inside the body of the appliances.
Despite the systems and the appliances being custom-made and original, the company was able to design, test and create these complex lighting systems in just six weeks, thus proving its remarkable competences as ideal partner for the creation of complex and custom lighting system.
