Under the leadership of Mo.1950’s CEO, Corrado Molteni, the lualdimeraldi studio has been appointed as the new artistic direction of the brand, a key hub in the world of interior design. This collaboration, which began eight years ago, has steadily grown over time and now takes shape in a new strategic vision. The appointment of lualdimeraldi marks a natural evolution of a shared journey: from the initial conversations held for the Mo.1950 via Carducci (Milan) to the design of the via Molino delle Armi (Milan) Flagship Store, and now to a broader framework that will integrate content, special projects, and partnerships in a cross-disciplinary way.

At the core of Mo.1950’s business vision lies a clear idea: to transform the relationship with architecture studios into an exchange of shared values. Its three facets — custom-made, contract, and retail — speak a design language that links culture, function, aesthetics, and materials.

With over seventy years of experience and a genuine connection to Made in Italy, Mo.1950 continues its path as a project laboratory and a trusted partner for architects, designers, and professionals seeking dynamic, flexible, and contemporary solutions.

«Our goal is to give space to Mo.1950’s identity by creating a design language that generates connections between culture, material, and people», says Matteo Meraldi.

The studio, active internationally, brings with it a sensitivity capable of understanding and respecting specific contexts, local traditions, and diverse markets while maintaining a coherent vision of design as a space for dialogue between project, material, and culture — consistently placing people at the center.

«We believe this is the right moment to broaden the expressive possibilities available to designers, offering tools and products born from a flexible, ever-evolving artisanal knowledge. Customization is not simply a service but an aesthetic choice, a cultural and technical approach that enhances the uniqueness of each project», adds Matteo Lualdi.

The new artistic direction led by lualdimeraldi is rooted in an interdisciplinary approach where art, architecture, design, and photography intersect in a cross-cutting project vision that blends contemporaneity with timelessness. Personalization takes center stage — understood as a project culture, technical expertise, and the ability to reinterpret the brand’s heritage within an integrated system. This element, a defining trait of Mo.1950, is now further empowered by a renewed reflection on the evolution of craftsmanship, technological innovation, and the human value of the production chain.

Alongside the artistic direction, photographer and communication strategist Jessica Soffiati joins the team to lead marketing, bringing with her an editorial and visual approach that reinforces the brand’s narrative identity. With this new chapter, Mo.1950 strengthens its position as a creative platform open to dialogue between brands, architects, and designers, reaffirming its commitment to a thoughtful, adaptable, and authentic design approach.

Llandudno, North Wales – Venue Cymru, North Wales’ largest and most versatile performance venue, has completed a transformative upgrade to its lighting infrastructure, partnering with White Light, a d&b solutions company, to deliver a future-ready, energy-efficient solution that meets the demands of modern touring productions, local performances, and broadcast events alike.

The project, Part one funded by Arts Council Wales, and Part 2 funded by the Welsh Government’s Transforming Towns initiative, marks a significant step forward for the council-run venue, which hosts everything from West End touring shows and opera to conferences and TV recordings.
With original fixtures dating back to the venue’s opening in 1994, the need for a modern, flexible lighting system was clear. “We’re a multi-purpose venue with a very busy programme,” comments Steve Cridge, Venue Cymru’s Technical & Facilities Manager. “From pantomimes to rock and roll, opera to conferences, we needed a rig that could do it all, and do it well.”

Following extensive demos, trade show visits, and consultations with touring companies, the team selected a combination of ETC, Chauvet, and Martin fixtures. ETC’s high-end profiles now form the backbone of the front-of-house rig, delivering the brightness and colour rendering required by top-tier productions. Chauvet and Martin fixtures were chosen for their exceptional value and versatility, particularly in overhead and arena applications.

The move to LED and intelligent lighting has already delivered impressive results. “We’re seeing up to 80% savings in energy consumption from our lighting rigs,” the manager noted. “That’s huge for a venue like ours, especially with rising energy costs and our commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2030.”
Beyond sustainability, the upgrade has unlocked new creative possibilities. “Programming is faster, the heat from the rig is significantly reduced, and our clients are thrilled with the results. There’s a real buzz among the team, it feels like we’ve finally made the leap we’ve been working toward for years.”

White Light worked closely with the in-house team to ensure the solution met the venue’s technical and artistic needs. “The support from White Light has been fantastic,” Cridge comments. “They really understood what we were trying to achieve and helped us get there seamlessly.”

The rollout is being phased to accommodate the venue’s packed schedule, with training sessions planned for both ETC and Chauvet systems to ensure the team is fully equipped to maximise the new technology.
WL’s Business Development Manager for the North, Paul Botham comments: “Collaborating with Steve and the team at Venue Cymru has been a real pleasure. Their vision for the space was clear from the outset, and we’re proud to have supported them in delivering a lighting solution that meets both their creative and technical ambitions.”

As Venue Cymru continues to expand its capabilities, the lighting upgrade represents a bold investment in the future. Cridge adds: “We’re the biggest venue in North Wales, and we want to stay at the forefront of what we can offer. This project is certainly a huge step in that direction.”

CBG Light Perceptions recently worked on the restoration of the Blenheim Palace Orangery by designing an updated and efficient lighting scheme on a project that has received a prestigious 2025 RIBA South Award.

The Orangery, a refined and luxurious dining area in Blenheim Palace, is now once again open to the public for an authentically British experience. Well known for hosting one of Oxfordshire’s most elegant afternoon teas, the space also serves as an exclusive private venue for fine dining, weddings, and other special occasions.

This significant two-million-pound project on the Grade I listed building involved the replacement of the 19th-century glass roof with a solid insulated steel and slate design.

CBG Light Perceptions were tasked with overhauling the previous lighting design, which was known to generate glare and excessive brightness. Recognised for their sensitive and respectful approach to heritage conservation, CBG Light Perceptions has achieved a lighting design which complements the striking architectural textures of the new roof and captures the essence of the Orangery.

This award recognises the efforts of all involved as well as CBG Light Perceptions for reassessing the requirements of the space and coming up with an innovative, sustainable lighting solution to improve the functionality and aesthetics of the Orangery. The jury commented: “Boldly stepping away from an attitude of like-for-like repair typical in such a significant heritage setting, the project team at Blenheim Palace chose a new route for the design and delivery of the Orangery roof.”

Working closely alongside the client’s team, Historic England, the council, architects and interior designers on the comprehensive refurbishment, CBG Light Perceptions needed to consider a new lighting scheme that enhanced both the practicality and the exquisite atmosphere of the space. The design delivered significantly improved lighting throughout the Orangery while also providing a sustainable, low-energy approach. The new scheme ensures flexibility for a wide range of uses, with discreet spotlighting allowing for tailored setups during events, and a simple, pre-set dimming system enabling staff to effortlessly adjust lighting levels depending on the occasion.

The result is a sophisticated lighting solution that showcases the architectural fabric of the Orangery. The recognition of the overall project at the RIBA South Awards, held at the Bombay Sapphire Distillery in Hampshire in May 2025, is a testament to the care and collaboration invested in every element from all those involved.

Bruce Kirk, Director at CBG, added, “Successful lighting is built on a deep understanding of the space and close collaboration with the client and teams involved. Thoughtful project consultation with the client and stakeholders allows us to deliver tailored solutions that respect the heritage of a building while meeting the evolving needs of its users.”

A landmark of Edinburgh’s northern skyline since 1901, the Granton Gasholder has been reimagined as a striking public space thanks to a £20 million restoration and regeneration project. Now at the heart of Granton Gasholder Park, this 165-foot-tall, listed structure has been transformed from an industrial relic into a vibrant community focal point—complete with dynamic lighting designed and delivered by Thorn Lighting.

Working closely with landscape architects Optimised Environments (OPEN) and consultancy Tetra Tech, Thorn was tasked with creating a lighting scheme that would enhance the visual impact of the restored gasholder, while respecting its historic character and listed status. The result is a bold yet sensitive lighting design that celebrates the structure’s unique industrial beauty, provides safe and welcoming navigation through the park, and offers programmable flexibility to support community events and public art.

A Dynamic Urban Regeneration

Granton Gasholder Park forms part of the wider £1.3 billion regeneration of the Granton Waterfront area. Once a key part of Edinburgh’s gas infrastructure, the gasholder sat unused for decades. The site has been transformed into a space for play, relaxation, and reflection following extensive refurbishment—including the careful preservation of 100,000 rivets and 26 towering columns. Visitors can explore walking trails, three play areas, and a central sculpture of a breaching humpback whale, a nod to nearby Firth of Forth wildlife.

Lighting played a vital role in the transformation, helping to redefine the gasholder’s identity and make the space welcoming after dark. The lighting brief required complete control over colour and timing, a low-profile installation respectful of the structure’s heritage, and glare-free, visually comfortable illumination for all users.

Tailored Lighting for a Historic Structure

Thorn specified a trio of architectural lighting solutions to bring the design vision to life.

Eroa inground luminaires were chosen to illuminate the gasholder’s Corten lettering that says GASHOLDER1, with their 3000K output and available in multiple lengths, Eroa provides a powerful, even wash of light capable of reaching heights beyond 12 metres. The option for internal anti-glare louvres and glare-control films made it ideal for the park’s urban setting—balancing drama with visual comfort.

Contrast RGBW floodlights, mounted strategically on the gasholder itself and controlled via a DMX system, these add depth and versatility to the structure. With a consistent modern design and wide choice of beam angles, Contrast units allow precise highlighting of structural details while enabling a multitude of colour-changing scenes for events and seasonal displays. Concealing cables and achieving seamless integration with the structure required careful coordination—but the results are visually impressive and technically robust.

To enhance the user experience throughout the park, Aerie column luminaires were installed along key pathways. Their soft, unobtrusive glow delivers high visual comfort and safety, helping to reduce energy use. Aerie is discreet and adaptable, designed for demanding urban environments, and suits the site’s coastal location.

Community-Driven Design

Tetra Tech’s Chris Dunbar, Senior Project Manager for the scheme, praised the partnership with Thorn Lighting:

“Working with the Thorn team has been fantastic. We were well looked after from start to finish—not just from Derick Ramsay but also by the technical team behind the scenes and David Harris who supported with the commissioning. They all adapted to some tricky timelines and changes in the programme and still delivered an exceptional result.

I can say, not just from myself but from the immediate community and stakeholders—it’s been exceptionally well received. Local feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The vibrant illumination has given one of Edinburgh’s most recognisable landmarks a whole new lease of life.”

The project’s success is evident not just in the striking visual result, but in its reception. The park has quickly become a popular space for residents and visitors alike, with the illuminated gasholder now acting as a beacon after dark and a backdrop for a growing calendar of community activities.

Shaping the Future with Light

Granton Gasholder Park shows how thoughtful lighting can support urban regeneration and connect communities to their local heritage, from an unused industrial site to a celebrated gathering space. The lighting scheme delivered by Thorn enhances this identity, combining dynamic control with energy efficiency and architectural elegance.

Lighting is playing an ever-increasingly important role in the circular economy. Luminaires are no longer seen as part of the disposable society, thanks to a recognition that they can be upgraded and refurbished to extend their lifetime. Responsible manufacturers are integrating this approach into the design of luminaires from the outset, providing greater convenience to sustainability. David Goddard, Head of UK Projects from LEDVANCE explores this principle.

For many years the lighting industry faced the challenge of reducing electronic waste. The barrier to achieving this was the limited lifespan that traditional light sources, and even early generation LEDs, offered. To address this, responsible manufacturers have adopted manufacturing practices that enable luminaires to be part of the circular economy.

At its heart, the circular economy is a model of production and consumption that involves reusing, repairing, refurbishing existing products for as long as possible. The lifecycle of products is subsequently extended and is a move away from the linear economic model society had become reliant on. The unsustainable linear model is one which involves large quantities of cheap, and therefore rapidly disposable, products. These are never recycled or upgraded and ultimately end up being sent to landfill on an all too frequent basis.

One example of the circular economy in practice is LEDVANCE’s EVERLOOP approach. This principle enables the replacement of individual light sources and drivers in a convenient way, rather than having to replace luminaires in their entirety. The purpose behind EVERLOOP is that it is integrated into the LED from the offset, allowing for the straightforward upgrade with new drivers and new LED light sources at any time. This means the luminaires have an almost unlimited lifespan.

The ease of replacement is key to the success of this sustainability practice. Having the ability to change the driver and light source embedded into the luminaire offers a convenient choice for many across the industry. This includes installers, planners, and facilities managers, among others wanting to secure sustainable efficiency of industrial and office applications, as well as public buildings.

The EVERLOOP approach is one way that LEDVANCE is contributing to the EU’s plan to reduce electronic waste. As well as meeting legislative requirements and targets, it also represents how lighting manufacturers are demonstrating efforts and measures that go above and beyond to address sustainability matters.

There are many reasons why focusing on the reduction of electronic waste is crucial. Firstly, the re-use of existing products slows down the use of natural resources and raw materials. This means a reduction in landscape and habitat disruption as materials do not need to be mined.

A circular economy further protects the natural environment by lowering the amount of waste that is sent to landfill, or disposed of through burning. Figures from the World Resources Institute show that each year, 300 million tonnes of plastic waste is produced globally. This is in addition to 54 million tonnes of electronic waste. Designing products that can be used for much longer will reduce waste levels, and therefore pressure on the environment.

Adding to this, creating more efficient and sustainable products from the beginning of its lifecycle helps to lower energy and resource consumption. This is because, according to research published by the European Parliament, it is estimated that more than 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined during the design phase.

To put this into context, data shows that around 45% of global greenhouse gas comes from product use and manufacturing. By implementing circular economy strategies that reduce this need to keep producing more and more, will significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. This has the ability to reduce and potentially reverse some of the negative implications of climate change.

The circular economy also secures benefits that go beyond the individual products themselves. A reduction in the number of new products also lowers the associated packaging that needs to be disposed of. By upgrading the products that are in situ, there is less packaging for the replacement products – only what is needed to transport and store them safely. This in turn lowers the amount of waste, that in too many cases is still non-recyclable, that will be sent to landfill.

The role of lighting in the circular economy is clear to see, especially when there is an easy solution to challenging the outdated and detrimental linear model. The move to refurbishing and upgrading luminaires is becoming increasingly commonplace, and LEDVANCE is proud to be part of this movement.

A lighting control system from Pharos Architectural Controls is creating an immersive experience for visitors at a new sustainable visitor centre at the heart of the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

Portlantis is home to a permanent, interactive exhibition that brings to life the story of one of the world’s busiest and most innovative ports. The exhibition explores the port’s rich history while looking ahead to its future as it embraces sustainable, low-energy operations.

Comprising five stacked exhibition spaces offering fantastic views across the North Sea, the coastline and the port, the exterior of Portlantis is incredibly striking. Inside, the exhibits are brought to life with a single-universe Pharos Designer LPC (Lighting Playback Controller), specified by Ata Tech, who delivered the complete lighting and audiovisual solution.

The permanent exhibition, designed by Kossmanndejong, spans three levels – each focusing on a different theme – while two of the levels will also host temporary exhibitions. To deliver the interactive and experiential elements, the system from Pharos Architectural Controls has been integrated across various locations within the building.

The installation uses six Pharos Designer touchscreens, a mix of 5-inch and 8-inch TPS (Touch Panel Station) devices which have been strategically placed throughout the visitor centre, offering elegant touch control with fully customisable interfaces. The TPS 5 is quick and easy to use when activating presets, manual overrides, or even to use a custom colour to personalise the lighting. The scheme utilises two passcode-protected TPS 5s, located in the two education rooms. These panels are used to control the video projectors and to adjust the lighting system to the appropriate settings.

The TPS 8 is a new, spacious and elegant interface that is fully customisable using the free Pharos Designer 2 software. One of the TPS 8 panels is passcode-protected, allowing staff to control the interactive maquette table by selecting different modes and highlighting specific areas. Additional TPS 8 units have been installed in the server room for direct access to the support menu, and another is located at the shop entrance, providing overall system control including startup and shutdown functions. A final TPS 8 has been placed in the group welcome space, where it is used to select introductory movies and control the room’s lighting and audio levels. The combination of the two touchscreen sizes made it the perfect solution for the visitor centre, which can offer easy-to-use touchscreen controls for the lighting, and show control in exhibition spaces, workshops and labs throughout the day.

Across these different locations, the Designer LPC manages and controls a range of systems, including PCs, BrightSign players, projectors and Advatek PixLite controllers. It is also responsible for controlling the building management system, a Casambi lighting system, DMX lighting and automated show doors. Additionally, the Designer LPC controls the Xilica audio digital signal processor (DSP) which is connected to Genelec Smart IP Dante speakers, providing an immersive soundscape throughout the building. This comprehensive setup allowed for seamless integration and precise control of all multimedia and lighting elements throughout the Portlantis installation.

The Designer LPC is an all-in-one control solution that is ideal for interactive and integrated lighting installations. As a rugged, compact unit, the LPC is designed to offer complete reliability even when in 24/7 operation. Furthermore, the LPC features individually controllable and independently running timelines and scenes. It also offers the freedom of real-time manual overrides, with the versatility of powerful show control and integration features, perfect for managing highly complex control systems like Portlantis.

Mark de Gruyter, Sales Director at Pharos Architectural Controls said: “Portlantis is a fascinating exhibition, celebrating and championing the Port of Rotterdam. By utilising the Designer LPC, the exhibition has become an engaging way for visitors to learn thanks to impressive audio-visual effects. It’s rewarding to know our technology is playing an integral role in educating visitors to Portlantis.”

Tom Aarts, Director at Ata Tech added: “The power and versatility of the Designer LPC is astounding. It has enabled us to use just one system to control and manage such a variety of technological elements of the Portlantis experience, making the installation incredibly straightforward for us. It meant we could focus on the overall picture of what we wanted to achieve, knowing the LPC would deliver everything we needed from a control perspective. We’re delighted to have chosen Pharos as our partner for this project.”

Ata Tech collaborated closely with the project’s main contractor, Bruns, design studio Kossmanndejong, and a team of creative partners to develop a robust technical platform that brings the Port of Rotterdam’s story to life. The result is an engaging and memorable experience that captures the port’s past, present, and future – entertaining and inspiring visitors from around the globe.
