Seven LED heads are mounted on two ribbons of flexible steel, fixed to "articulated" bases to "move" and create a curving shape. Geco adapts itself to every situation and brings light where, how and when you wish. Light only, no shadow: the light is not coming from only one source but it's wrapping the objects. They are lit in a complete and uniform way.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz4zJ-GbUmOktetc8Scleps8XvqugU0TGFjlbxIBIVW2dnIyVMC9Bhf21KWRf11L7AcU7v2s_7gk-O9AYt9zRgcZQSr47BNjCvjN-QFRNlE_jD0RZgrqpCITn0MT8_VvSZciUU_xjmJ6U/s1600/geco1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596724505660082146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz4zJ-GbUmOktetc8Scleps8XvqugU0TGFjlbxIBIVW2dnIyVMC9Bhf21KWRf11L7AcU7v2s_7gk-O9AYt9zRgcZQSr47BNjCvjN-QFRNlE_jD0RZgrqpCITn0MT8_VvSZciUU_xjmJ6U/s400/geco1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 404px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidVWq3AabHw4iDBxpvlCPdfxmDWVZa2VABq67AA-VHxCiLxezSYkL5oA9JKOLasWDcXD5gWKeJXvG_HE1_FxDiT9jZsGGgxrgLMTRErE52t3g9bT_oVS2CtgUma1Vk7DUSTod5OWz1gFo/s1600/geco7.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596718525067179042" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidVWq3AabHw4iDBxpvlCPdfxmDWVZa2VABq67AA-VHxCiLxezSYkL5oA9JKOLasWDcXD5gWKeJXvG_HE1_FxDiT9jZsGGgxrgLMTRErE52t3g9bT_oVS2CtgUma1Vk7DUSTod5OWz1gFo/s400/geco7.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 529px; height: 325px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyIsIUgtngwDKWxlgCPsAcgMEkYKL188FdNc09JGHO2VP4DnyzAHNIRXAUCOCZHx5KG5FQlbQ7XW4Vdl0Bm8a11U7mXzb6X5XxgUKSNB40hqLYKfg4sbRhUTrFu6KMQacjNLIJY_M48Nw/s1600/geco8.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596718143847199490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyIsIUgtngwDKWxlgCPsAcgMEkYKL188FdNc09JGHO2VP4DnyzAHNIRXAUCOCZHx5KG5FQlbQ7XW4Vdl0Bm8a11U7mXzb6X5XxgUKSNB40hqLYKfg4sbRhUTrFu6KMQacjNLIJY_M48Nw/s400/geco8.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 334px;" /></a><br /><br />"For this innovative design we finally exploited new technologies: we were not content with a conventional use of new technologies.

Each LED-head uses up 1.4W for a total of 9.8W for an unbelievable light output: 67 lumen per Watt (6 times a normal incandescent bulb). Geco uses the newest, US-born top-efficiency LED-heads: 5000K and 75 lumen (minimum guaranteed). Geco exploits all the qualities of LED technology made in the USA.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTGcQvf-VJevowdqk6PAErWvQp9LGks9xPjDddTAazWjh4iU7HVCip4qVfPwX7DjGzQjfGStibS25pFCtGrPCP1vWFbtiG_6K2sFmE0-R3vOUY5FQbo1Sg6Qbrd9N89hJAr7wElfBtzVg/s1600/geco+black.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596715907764923090" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTGcQvf-VJevowdqk6PAErWvQp9LGks9xPjDddTAazWjh4iU7HVCip4qVfPwX7DjGzQjfGStibS25pFCtGrPCP1vWFbtiG_6K2sFmE0-R3vOUY5FQbo1Sg6Qbrd9N89hJAr7wElfBtzVg/s400/geco+black.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 184px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB4crS6DGTwMabngX_5kSLok_6uq_JHYAZZABCjoa_QUC381wBmLUrc9sXLwk8x9Hgg7LFfWzv_4ggiTOciHuTx6gx79L1Fi5U4aER4NdQT7Dv3M_NWCMyk7e-4-Tl1fB2-GCNJ4elV1U/s1600/geco+white.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596715811881651618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB4crS6DGTwMabngX_5kSLok_6uq_JHYAZZABCjoa_QUC381wBmLUrc9sXLwk8x9Hgg7LFfWzv_4ggiTOciHuTx6gx79L1Fi5U4aER4NdQT7Dv3M_NWCMyk7e-4-Tl1fB2-GCNJ4elV1U/s400/geco+white.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 263px; height: 184px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbIeSmc1ZfytqHUhsS-BUKpiI51lo7_XgGoajj-s7J0KDgOuQR-rRiG8bbsk5LyAr0cXewOCqtL-Jwpk4DtQo_3YAPw2580pmYQBZw8w1Fau-xqs1ZZhggfNoBmp3Qvmh9h6IUFalUFwA/s1600/geco+lED.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596717997732629474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbIeSmc1ZfytqHUhsS-BUKpiI51lo7_XgGoajj-s7J0KDgOuQR-rRiG8bbsk5LyAr0cXewOCqtL-Jwpk4DtQo_3YAPw2580pmYQBZw8w1Fau-xqs1ZZhggfNoBmp3Qvmh9h6IUFalUFwA/s400/geco+lED.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 522px; height: 381px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUTZs3VbcC-empPGUoqkeVDYL6A_LXsnu-n3LyogBBaZULaMCVp6rjzHzEghJRHMScCtsB7_S0RnB7sSdDgqO5NsTBI3szrZ6c35w3Xc9gF_IyuoraZW7hM0kNESavP9hPlgksuQaRoWs/s1600/geco5.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596715703002474866" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUTZs3VbcC-empPGUoqkeVDYL6A_LXsnu-n3LyogBBaZULaMCVp6rjzHzEghJRHMScCtsB7_S0RnB7sSdDgqO5NsTBI3szrZ6c35w3Xc9gF_IyuoraZW7hM0kNESavP9hPlgksuQaRoWs/s400/geco5.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 322px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBVxduuKdEJLiGOGttTzZMW6rX_4nsxXxEoaoqdRGxsmSrPcwXldwCNxp5Jh64ONc_p4geRf_P7wh1_BXbbZkOwYO4gqzuz0nnsr8YqbsKntkD1M5M1wWNb5TflWmvSD0aDtDaeKPGeoI/s1600/geco10.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596715606529095810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBVxduuKdEJLiGOGttTzZMW6rX_4nsxXxEoaoqdRGxsmSrPcwXldwCNxp5Jh64ONc_p4geRf_P7wh1_BXbbZkOwYO4gqzuz0nnsr8YqbsKntkD1M5M1wWNb5TflWmvSD0aDtDaeKPGeoI/s400/geco10.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 522px; height: 323px;" /></a><br /><br />Lumina is aware of light technology's fast and continuous evolution, so they made it possible for you to replace each individual LED-head. In fact, if designed in the future, Lumina will offer LED-heads that are more efficient for lighting and energy saving. You will always have the opportunity to update Geco with the newest technologies available.<br /><br />Lumina presents Geco in 3 finishes: white, black and graphite and has versions compatibile for Europe, The United States and Japan.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lumina.it/prodotto_geco.htm">Geco Lighting Series</a>

He realised he was interested in more than just the object and its manufacturing process, and wanted to explore the social context and values associated with products. An MA in Design Products at the Royal College of Art in London fostered his interest in advertising and the construction of meaning through image.<br /><br />Finn's RCA show investigated the potential of advertising techniques in product design, in particular looking at how mechanisms such as juxtaposition, humour and surprise can function in products as opposed to adverts. Finn’s Flat Life Lights are currently in development with Artemide, an Italian lighting company. He has exhibited at Design Mai in Berlin, the Salon di Mobil, Milan and the Design Museum, London.<br /><br />Contact Info:<br />t: +44 (0) 7718990408<br />e: finn@finnmagee.com<br /><i><br />Photographs: Emma Wieslander and Bahbak Hashemi-Nezhad<br />Photographs of photographs: Luke Hayes</i>
