Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd [5] has created a spectacular interactive installation of energy efficient, emotion-reading lights for the Salone del Mobile 2011 exhibition in Milan [6]. Designed by Ferruccio Laviani [7], the lighting installation, composed of new LED products [8], OLED panels, spotlights, and spatial sensors, reflects Panasonic’s intensive research into sustainable energy solutions [9]. Scattered in individual displays throughout three levels of the Minguzzi Museum, the new products are among the world’s most low energy [10], efficient, and compact lights. They also have some qualities that might creep you out.

Aiming for compactness of form, essential design, and ease of use and maintenance without compromising energy efficiency [12] or quality of illumination, Panasonic shows just how far lighting can go. Equipped with special sensors that can adjust lighting depending on the number of people in a room, many of their products can even pick up on the “emotional” environment.
Like the tonal range of music (this year’s theme is piano-forte), Panasonic’s lighting can be expressed in a variety of ambiences. The lights will be able to sense whether the mood is bright or somber and adjust the coloring [13] accordingly. Visitors can interact and experiment with the installation and, in Laviani’s words, “experience [the products] at first hand and thus understand them better”.
