A new Milanese Didactic Line
Milan, Italy
Raffles Milan Institute of Fashion and Design
Renaissance Pragmatism in Present Evolution
In the constant dispersion of focus in teacher-student training, Raffles outlines a new asset in the educational panorama: a training proposal in continuous dialogue with the territorial working reality. The only Italian venue chosen, not by chance, is Milan: a dynamic centre of excellence and culture recognised internationally.

A wide-ranging collaboration, with Alter Partner Studio, allowed Linea Light Group a real lighting discours in the first Italian headquarters of Raffles. It was essential, in mapping the locations, to understand the different needs and the different use of light by the users.
Gypsum and Tablet mark the space, with their presence, connecting the various common areas. A soft personality, for the walkable and connecting areas, able to compensate, where not possible, for the installation of ceiling lamps. Reception and lobby wear minimal Pool with elegance, showing off a subtle concentric decorative look. Remaining in the lobby, Batons of various shapes and sizes, clinging in compositional play to thin cables, enrich the staircase that connects to the surrounding rooms.
Moving towards the meeting room and the desk area, offset intersections of Tour ensure wide-ranging uniformity thanks to the opaline diffuser equipped with an internal power supply for SMD LED source. We return to geometric linearity by turning towards classrooms, with a triple product choice. Shore, Outline and Fylo. The first chosen for the combinations provided by the lighting effects, the second for its compositional possibilities and the last for its decorative effect and usefulness in the case of video projection. TopLED sources, on the other hand, for the workshops thanks to the round ceiling lights of the Square family. In exhibition spaces reserved for shows and exhibitions, Angular has been positioned exactly as in Linea Light Group projects for large art commissions. Thanks to a tilting movement of up to 45°, the three-phase binary projector with LED arrayLED is very versatile in providing light in a simple and efficient manner.
Not to be outdone, as the last area taken care of, is the exterior. LED strip profiles on the windows, Suelo for vertical lighting, Mini-Outline for the stairs and My White ceiling lights for the unloading/loading area. A massive project, to highlight the designers of tomorrow.
Free development of thought and technology
Milan closes in the corner programmatic formative proposals to chisel, in Via Casati, a 3000 square metre building totally dedicated to experimentation. A hybrid and layered place, with references to a human dimension in which the master-pupil relationship was, and still is, full of creative lymph.
The fields range from fashion to product to visual design, outlining an all-round proposal to celebrate the beginning of a New Renaissance of Italian flair.
