ELEMENTS LIGHTING — Macroscopic Home Automation & Spatial Adaptation - Frankfurt 2023
Context & Challenge
Following the success at Maison & Objet, the French brand Elements Lighting tasked AVNTGARD with adapting and up-scaling its smart showroom concept for the Ambiente trade fair. The primary architectural and engineering challenge lay in managing a massive increase in structural and technical density: adapting the layout to a new exhibition footprint while integrating a significantly more complex, high-capacity wireless home automation (domotica) network.
Spatial & Technical Execution
Macroscopic Wireless Automation Array: The intelligent electrical grid was heavily upgraded to manage approximately 100 distinct lighting points simultaneously. This massive network was engineered across 32 independent electrical circuits (linee), all governed by a high-performance, centralized wireless automation system to ensure zero latency and flawless command execution.
High-Density Infrastructure Concealment: To support the structural load of nearly 100 premium light fixtures across the walls, ceilings, and floors, AVNTGARD engineered reinforced partition walls with integrated internal routing channels. This allowed the immense network of 32 power lines to remain completely invisible, preserving a pristine, high-end retail aesthetic.
Spatial Re-Adaptation: The architectural blueprint was re-calibrated to fit the traffic dynamics and structural constraints of the Ambiente fair. The space was choreographed to guide high-volume B2B visitors through a continuous, interactive journey where they could wirelessly trigger and test different lighting typologies in real-time.
Result
A masterclass in large-scale technical adaptation. By seamlessly scaling the wireless infrastructure to control 100 lighting points across 32 lines, AVNTGARD transformed the Ambiente space into a highly functional, macroscopic interactive showroom, demonstrating the ultimate commercial and technological synergy of the Elements Lighting catalog.
