LUMENTILE originates from an idea of disruptive innovation, where the joint use of new technologies creates added value and new functionalities for traditional materials, thus turning the classical ceramic tile into a "multifunctional electronic luminous tile" realized by large area and organic electronics.
It will exploit frontier technologies in large-area and organic electronics and photonics to develop a new generation of modular luminous components for design-driven applications, where a different meaning is given to the use of light driven by the design, by empowering it to be used as a radical different designed element for architecture, as a skin integrated element for interior design, lighting or advertising purposes.
