Light is a social science and the innovation that guides it comes from curiosity and dialogue. This is how
Lighthinking - a cultural project made up by different initiatives - has been conceived. Moments of sharing rich in contamination for a new reading of light. During the Fuorisalone, light is transformed into language to reveal the secrets of storytelling and craftsmanship in
Lighthinking Talks given by exceptional speakers.
