Ross Lovegrove

One of the world’s most acclaimed designers, Welsh-born Ross Lovegrove is the mastermind behind the sun tunnel by Lovegrove. Inspired by the VELUX vision of creating better living environments through daylight, Lovegrove designed an innovative sun tunnel diffuser to harness the full potential of natural light, and bring the purity and uplifting power of sunlight into the home. “I wanted to create a moment of enlightment in the home – a contemporary interface between the tunnel of light and the interior design of the living space,” says Lovegrove.

Lovegrove’s focus on organic forms and sustainable technology complements the way VELUX products work with natural resources – the sun and air – to bring light to life. Says Lovegrove, “When I was contacted by VELUX, I felt an immediate affinity with their products and way of thinking, which I find human, technologically innovative and democratic.”

A renowned industrial designer, Lovegrove has completed projects for Sony, Apple, Airbus Industries, Kartell, VitrA, Tag Heuer, Herman Miller, Biomega, Japan Airlines and many more. His work has been shown all over the world, including exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and Guggenheim in New York; the Centre Pompidou in Paris; and London’s Design Museum.

The recipient of numerous international design awards, Lovegrove was awarded the World Technology Award by Time Magazine and CNN in 2005, and the prestigious Red Dot Design Award the same year. His design for the VELUX sun tunnel won a medal at BATIMAT's "Les Trophées du Design" in 2009, and it was also awarded the "red dot design award - best of the best 2010" distinction for the highest design quality.

Jedan od najcjenjenijih svjetskih dizajnera, velšanin Ross Lovegrove, glavna je osoba koja stoji iza dizajna VELUX Lovegrove svjetlosnog tunela. Inspiriran VELUX vizijom u kojoj dnevno svjetlo stvara kvalitetniji životni prostor, Lovegrove je dizajnirao inovativni difuzor za svjetlosni tunel pomoću kojeg se ostvaruje pun potencijal prirodnog svjetla i u dom unosi čista snaga sunčeve svjetlosti. "Želio sam stvoriti trenutak prosvjetljenja u domu - suvremeno sučelje između tunela svjetlosti i unutrašnjeg dizajna životnog prostora" kaže Lovegrove.

Lovegroveov fokus na organske oblike i održivu tehnologiju upotpunjuju način na koji VELUX proizvodi surađuju s prirodnim resursima - suncem i zrakom - kako bi donijeli svjetlost u život. Lovegrove kaže: " Kada me VELUX kontaktirao, odmah sam osjetio povezanost s njihovim proizvodima i načinom razmišljanja  koje nalazim humanim, tehnološki inovativnim i demokratskim."

Poznati industrijski dizajner Lovegrove završio je projekte za SONY, APPLE, Airbus Industries, KARTELL, VITRA, TAG HEUER, Herman Miller, BIOMEGA, Japan Airlines i mnoge druge kompanije. Njegovi radovi bili su izloženi širom svijeta, uključujući i izložbe u muzejima: Museum of Modern Art  i Guggenheim u New Yorku; Centre Pompidou u Parizu i Design Museum u Londonu.

Lovegrove je dobitnik mnogih internacionalnih nagrada za dizajn, između ostalog i World Technology Award za 2005 godinu, koju dodjeljuju magazin Time i CNN te prestižne Red dot nagrade za dizajn, za istu godinu. Njegov dizajn za VELUX svjetlosni tunel dobitnik je medalje na BATIMAT "Les Trophées du Design" 2009. kao i "red dot design award - best of the best 2010", što je odličje za najkvalitetniji dizajn.
