Rimani, a Turin-based company specialized in designing and producing innovative lighting solutions realized the illuminations for the Museo della Fabbrica of Palazzo Reale in Naples. The project was born in collaboration with the architect Giovanni Francesco Frascino and saw Rimani's expert contribution in designing lighting to enhance the architectural models, historical artifacts, display cases and exhibition rooms..
Concept and objective
The concept that guided the development of the lighting design was designed with an approach that included wall, ceiling, and floor products designed according to environmentally sustainable and low-impact principles. The main purpose was to integrate the light sources within the exhibit, so that they would be almost invisible, but at the same time able to change the effect of light projection in the presence of different exhibits from each other, thanks to the use of magnetic lenses. To guarantee the best light projection without compromising the exposure’s aesthetic, enlighteners of small dimensions were selected, able to diffuse illumination without the light source being visible to the public's eyes. In addition, micro spotlights specifically designed to enhance the details of architectural models were integrated.

Rimani’s product used
For Museo della Fabbrica’s project, Rimani offered and studied the use of 24V magnetic track and 230V magnetic track products. Through series’ product has been installed particularly: Bi magnet micro, Solar60 track, Solar 100 and Longitudinal.
Bi-Magnet micro is a magnetic system designed especially for the inside of window shops and display case and for projects that requires solutions to save space for technical and aesthetic purposes. The Micro binary is equipped with a magnetic conductive track distributed on the two sides to contain the section size. The Bi-Magnet Micro spots exist in three dimensions: with a fixed (Micro13) or variable (Micro17 and Micro23) optics. The magnetic attachment allows them to be installed on the track quickly and easily, without the use of tools.
Solar, in its variants Solar60 track, Solar100 track, is a best-in-class element characterized by accurate color rendering with exceptional vividness of whites, high intensity and extraordinary uniformity and effectiveness of beams. Structured with single LED source (no multi-ombre), Solar projectors feature 3000K color temperature and innovative and magnetic interchangeable optics, meeting the demands of the Museum.
Longitudinal is a LED linear battery at high color rendering, only 20mm in diameter, which is designed for applications where diffused light must meet quality requirements, such as on frescoes and paintings in general, on walls and vaults.

The Benefits
The solution adopted by Rimani brought numerous benefits, meeting all the technical requirements of the client in a simple but highly effective way. A key aspect of the design was the use of spot lighting of both the models and the exhibits, without causing glare. Thanks to the small size of the Micro17 spots, it was in fact possible to emphasize the three-dimensionality and materiality of the objects, making light a means of enhancing details without compromising the visual experience of visitors. Rimani's project also achieved significant feedback in terms of energy sustainability, meeting the client's need to reduce consumption without compromising the scenic impact, which with traditional lighting systems would have involved a higher use of electricity.
In this way, Rimani has demonstrated how modern technology can combine aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability, offering a lighting solution that respects the environment and meets customer expectations. Rimani acts as a partner that can solve technical challenges with simplicity and effectiveness, while also contributing to a significant improvement in energy efficiency, without sacrificing visual quality.
