Mister Philips
With its 25 metres height and 20 metres width the dome in Eindhoven is
a true spectacle and an impressive entrance for visitors to the city.
In the radiant middle of the 30,000 lights is the bronze statue of
Anton Philips from 1951. In the first half of the twentieth century,
Anton was more than thirty years in charge of the Philips group and
let it develop into a successful multinational.
Luminarie De Cagna is an Italian family concern that was founded in
1930. Then the firm illuminated buildings and squares on festive
occasions with oil and carbide lamps. Soon they switched to electric
lights and since 2006 they use for new projects LED's only. The LED’s
are chained into great curtains of light or mounted on a wooden
structure. In this way, whole streets and even squares are fully
lightened.
