An immersive tour, from the UN-REVEALED | Shaping secrets exhibition to The Light Experience
The Light Gate - the new iGuzzini space in Milan dedicated to light culture - opens its doors again to the Fuorisalone public, from 9th to 14th April with an emotional experience mapped out in different, but interconnected stages.
A maze of light and shadow, reflections and niches, screens and partitions hides the
UN-REVEALED | Shaping secrets installation, an exhibition inspired by Van Cleef&Arpels “Le Secret” collection of high jewellery. The 20 young international designers from Creative Academy - Richemont's Corporate School - worked closely together with exceptional Master Craftsmen to create unique, multi-faceted items concealing - and at the same time revealing - their mysterious secrets.
This maze leads to
The Light Experience, the location in Milan where visitors can enjoy a first-hand experience of iGuzzini lighting, making it even more exciting and immersive. Displayed in a spectacular show of music and sound, the luminaires’ different light effects offer a demonstration of their real-life applications in a cryptic space, where light meets material.

During the Fuorisalone, the secrets that characterise The Light Gate also find a human voice in the exhibition’s
Lighthinking Talks. In the courtyard of The Light Gate, on 9th April at 5pm, Alessandro Mari - the Creative Director of Holden Studios - will recount the secrets of storytelling in a talk entitled ‘
Tell a secret to keep it: a story of shadows and light’; and on 11th April at the same time, Alberto Cavalli - General Director of the Cologni Foundation - will discuss the question of Art & Craft professions in ‘
The Secret of Secrets: craftsmanship and competence’.
Admission for both Lighthinking Talks is free.
