TARGETTI - Official Partner BOLD&flow 2026

21 Sep 2026

From 19 to 27 September, Targetti is taking part in BOLD – Bologna Live Design at Palazzo Isolani, bringing two projects to the heart of Bologna that explore the relationship between light, architecture and art.

Light is not merely a means of illuminating a space. It can interpret it, transform how it is perceived, create new relationships with architecture and become an expressive medium in its own right.

It is from this vision that Targetti’s participation in BOLD – Bologna Live Design 2026 stems, an event dedicated to design culture that brings Bologna to life through installations, exhibitions and opportunities for design, creativity and research to come together.

As an Official Partner of BOLD&flow 2026, Targetti is exhibiting at Palazzo Isolani with two distinct projects, both united by a desire to explore the expressive possibilities of light.

Light&Flow: when light becomes matter

In the Hall of Mirrors at Palazzo Isolani, Light&Flow presents a selection of four works from the Targetti Light Art Collection.

Four distinct artistic explorations in which light transcends its purely technical dimension to become an experience, a perception and a means of dialogue with space.

The project explores a conception of light capable of going beyond mere function: an immaterial substance that transforms the environment, creates atmospheres and generates new ways in which people relate to architecture.

Urban landscapes: a dialogue between light and architecture

Alongside Light&Flow, Targetti is also taking part in BOLD with *Paesaggi urbani* (Urban Landscapes), a project curated by Massimo Iosa Ghini.

These two projects, through different design languages, converge on a central theme in Targetti’s design philosophy: using light as an active element of architecture, capable not only of making spaces visible, but also of contributing to their identity.

The 3F Group’s culture of light

Targetti’s participation in BOLD is also one of the many ways in which the wealth of expertise within the 3F Group is expressed.

Technology, design, architectural culture and lighting research are complementary areas of expertise through which the Group’s brands interpret different needs and fields of application.

In this context, Targetti’s experience in architectural lighting brings to the Group a specific sensitivity to the relationship between light, space and design, contributing to a vision of light that combines performance, innovation and aesthetic value.

Understanding light, from every perspective

16 Sep 2026

From technical expertise to the project

A concrete example of this approach was the recent conference ‘Light, Standards and Design’, hosted by the Department of Engineering at the Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna.

It provided a forum for professionals in the sector to discuss the evolution of lighting design and the increasingly close relationship between regulations, technology and practical application.

In this context, 3F Filippi explored the topic of interior lighting and the application of UNI EN 12464-1, drawing on its experience in interpreting regulatory requirements and translating them into practical lighting design choices.

Because understanding a standard is essential. But the real value lies in the ability to grasp its implications for the project: from the required performance levels to glare control, from visual comfort to light distribution, right through to the specific characteristics of the environment and the people who use it.

Three areas of expertise, a single body of knowledge

Within the 3F Group, this technical culture is combined with a range of different and complementary skills.

3F Filippi brings to the Group extensive experience in technical and high-performance lighting, developed through its in-depth understanding of applications, regulations and the requirements of complex environments: industry, offices, retail, healthcare, infrastructure, education and sport.

Targetti broadens this perspective through the culture of architectural lighting, where technology, optics, the perception of space and integration with architecture become part of a single design language.

Duralamp complements its wealth of expertise with specialist knowledge of light sources and lighting technology solutions, with a particular focus on flexibility, efficiency and ease of application.

These diverse areas of expertise do not exist in isolation, but contribute to the development of a shared body of knowledge.

View the project in 360°

It is precisely in the convergence of these areas of expertise that one of 3F Group’s core values emerges.

A lighting design project may require high technical performance, whilst at the same time demanding precise optical control. It may need to comply with stringent regulatory requirements whilst also complementing the architecture. It may call for efficiency, durability, light quality, manageability and flexibility.

There is therefore no single perspective from which to view light.

It is necessary to understand the technology, know how to control it, be familiar with the regulations governing its application and, above all, interpret the spaces and the needs of those who use them.

It is here that the various areas of expertise within the 3F Group become a shared asset.

Knowledge as part of the 3F Group’s culture

Research, training and dialogue with the world of design are therefore an essential part of our work.

Universities, professionals, lighting designers, architects, engineers and technology partners are key stakeholders with whom we share experiences and develop new knowledge.

Events such as the one at the University of Bologna are therefore not merely opportunities for technical exploration, but reflect our understanding of our role in the lighting sector: to contribute to the dissemination of the culture of light and, through dialogue, to continue broadening our expertise.

Because understanding light means knowing how to observe it from different perspectives.

3F Filippi, Targetti and Duralamp: specialist expertise, shared knowledge.

3F Group. TUNE THE LIGHT.

3F Group at Fórum Sanitop

two companies, one synergy

28 Sep 2026

3F Filippi and Duralamp together in Portugal to present complementary solutions, technologies and expertise for professional lighting.

Fórum Sanitop is an important meeting point for manufacturers, installation and design professionals, architects and engineers: an opportunity to exchange ideas, share new perspectives and discover the latest solutions for the professional sector.

Within this context, 3F Group took part with 3F Filippi and Duralamp, two companies united by a shared vision of light while bringing different expertise and specialisations.

Two areas of expertise, one shared vision

The joint presence of 3F Filippi and Duralamp gave tangible expression to one of the values at the heart of 3F Group: connecting different experiences to offer the market a broader wealth of solutions and knowledge.

On one side, 3F Filippi brings its experience in the design and manufacture of high-technology professional lighting systems, developed to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications.

On the other, Duralamp specialises in lighting technology solutions, with an offering focused on flexibility, efficiency and ease of application.

Two distinct identities that, by working together, broaden the possibilities available to designers, installers and lighting professionals.

Solutions that complement each other

Fórum Sanitop was an opportunity to present the latest lighting solutions from both brands and, above all, to demonstrate how complementarity can create tangible value.

Different applications, technologies and approaches make it possible to address lighting projects from multiple perspectives, identifying the solution best suited to the characteristics of each space and its specific application requirements.

This ability to integrate expertise is where the 3F Group vision takes shape: not simply a collection of brands, but an ecosystem in which knowledge, technologies and experience can interact and strengthen one another.

Meeting to create new opportunities

Taking part in Fórum Sanitop also meant meeting professionals and operators from the Portuguese market directly, sharing experiences and discussing the sector’s evolving needs.

Dialogue with those who design, select and install lighting solutions every day is a fundamental part of the innovation process: it helps us understand how applications are evolving and turn real needs into new design opportunities.

The joint presence of 3F Filippi and Duralamp therefore once again reflects the value of collaboration within the Group.

Two companies. Complementary expertise. One synergy creating new possibilities for light.
