Shifting the future of light

There is a light capable of anticipating, evolving and redefining its own language.

This year, SIMES expresses a vision in which light is no longer just illumination, but infrastructure capable of connecting functions, adapting to places and generating new relationships between space and people.

 


When light becomes an ecosystem

 

Shifting is not a slogan. It is a transition.

It means recognising that the way we design lighting is changing.
It is no longer just a question of lighting a space correctly, but of interpreting it. Anticipating its needs, making it more readable, safer and more connected.

For designers, this change is already underway. Today, they expect much more from lighting than just photometric performance: they demand integration, flexibility, digital control, reduced visual impact and measurable sustainability. They demand systems that are capable of evolving over time.


Shifting is the transition from a product-based approach to an infrastructure-based approach.
From a device that emits light to an element that generates relationships between space, people and technology.

Shifting also affects us as manufacturers. It means rethinking the way we conceive and develop lighting: no longer closed, definitive objects, but modular, upgradeable platforms designed for integration. Systems capable of adapting to increasingly complex urban scenarios.
The future of lighting is not a point of arrival. It is a movement. And it is within this movement that a new lighting ecosystem is born.

 

Light adapts to space, not the other way around 

Not all contexts require accents or directionality. Squares, open paths and large public spaces need broad, uniform lighting that guarantees visual comfort and continuity.

Here, light becomes a diffused and controlled presence, directed downwards and compliant with light pollution regulations. It does not invade or dazzle: it accompanies.

The Shift Pro Rotosimmetrico version, with 180° and 360° distributions, was created to meet this need: high light quality and consistent design in a single vertical element.

One element, multiple functions

 

Contemporary spaces call for simplification.

Fewer elements, less visual interference, more functions concentrated in intelligent structures.

Light becomes a platform: a vertical infrastructure capable of accommodating lighting, security, sound diffusion and connectivity in a single coherent system. Not a sum of devices, but an integrated organism that reduces complexity and multiplies design possibilities.

With Shift Pro, the pole evolves into a multifunctional modular system: configurable, adaptable, ready to respond to increasingly complex urban needs.

Fewer elements, greater efficiency

 

An ecosystem works when every element is essential.
Lighting must also reduce waste, optimise distances and ensure uniformity with the minimum number of light fixtures.

Efficiency is not only about energy, but also design: fewer poles, less interference, greater formal cleanliness.

With Any-Way's high-performance asymmetrical optics, footpaths and cycle paths can be lit over long distances with fewer fixtures, improving the uniformity and overall sustainability of the project.

Light that reacts to presence

A living space is not static. It changes throughout the day, varies according to traffic flows and adapts to events.

A lighting ecosystem must be sensitive: capable of modulating intensity, reducing consumption when the space is empty, and activating when it is occupied.

With Field, the light integrates presence sensors and DALI management, transforming itself into a programmable system. The lighting adapts to the actual use of the space, contributing to the reduction of energy waste and prolonging the life of the fixtures.

Precision, even on a small scale 

 

An ecosystem is also made up of details.

Architecture, landscape elements and vertical surfaces require millimetric control of light emission.

Miniaturisation and digital beam control allow for discreet intervention, maintaining high performance and maximum precision.

The evolution of the Pointer family, in its most compact version, Nanopointer, expands the possibilities of precision light: minimal physical presence, maximum emission quality.

Shifting the future of light means this: transforming light into an ecosystem.


A system capable of integrating functions, distributing light quality, reacting to presence and adapting over time.

Not just a new collection of products, but a new infrastructure for contemporary spaces.
