Zum­to­bel pre­sented dur­ing Milan Design Week the “EL” Mas­ter­piece, jointly devel­oped with Daniel Libe­skind and edited by Sawaya & Moroni.

The pre­mière pro­vided impres­sive evi­dence of the inter­ac­tion between cre­ativ­ity, artis­tic inten­tion, sophis­ti­cated design and tech­ni­cal light­ing exper­tise, brought to per­fec­tion in the cre­ation of this work of art.

Vis­i­tors at the exclu­sive event were excited about “EL” and the con­cept behind this Mas­ter­piece: the mul­ti­coloured light of eL mim­ics and repro­duces the cos­mic light that fills the universe.

The Mas­ter­piece is 2.70 m tall and can­not fail to impress with its special-steel sur­faces pol­ished to a mir­ror fin­ish and fit­ted with 1,680 LED mod­ules. A micro-controller has been built into each mod­ule. This is the inno­v­a­tive fea­ture that makes it pos­si­ble to meet the exact­ing and com­plex demands of con­trol­ling each LED indi­vid­u­ally. This highly com­plex tech­nol­ogy is com­pletely invis­i­ble to the beholder.

“EL” is the fourth Mas­ter­piece Zum­to­bel has devel­oped and pro­duced as part of its part­ner­ships, some­times extend­ing over sev­eral years, with artists work­ing in a wide range of dis­ci­plines. Each Mas­ter­piece is both a fas­ci­nat­ing lumi­naire and a beau­ti­ful  work of art.
