Matera, the City of Stones, has been transformed with Neri’s SN100C LED luminaires, part of an ambitious energy upgrade by City Green Light S.r.l. in 2024. The switch from yellow sodium lamps to clear, warm LED lighting has enhanced the city’s beauty, highlighting spaces once lost in darkness and creating a more welcoming atmosphere. By day, SN100C blends seamlessly with the warm tones of Matera’s ancient stone, while by night, it illuminates the historic landscape with clarity and elegance. From the alleys to the grand cathedral, Neri’s lighting brings out the charm of this UNESCO World Heritage Site like never before.

Pictor Urban Furniture Enhances Forte dei Marmi’s Cityscape
Essential design, bold character, flexible spirit: the Pictor urban furniture collection, developed in collaboration with the architecture studio Lombardini22, transforms public space into a dynamic and contemporary experience. Benches, planters, litter bins, bike racks, and bollards make up a modular collection designed to interact with any urban context. Each element, whether used individually or in combination, integrates seamlessly into the cityscape, offering endless configurations and visual connections. In Forte dei Marmi, the Pictor collection has taken shape along the town’s shopping streets: planters of various sizes, benches with and without backrests, litter bins, and other elements have created small green rest areas—welcoming and functional.
Neri Kiosks Take Center Stage at National Landing’s New Water Park
Elegant and functional, the custom cast-iron kiosks by Neri are the architectural highlight of the newly opened Water Park in National Landing, Arlington (Washington, D.C. area). Ten custom structures welcome visitors into a refined, inviting atmosphere. Designed to blend seamlessly into the urban landscape, these kiosks serve as key reference points in the public space, turning everyday moments into opportunities for interaction, exchange, and community.
Pictor: adaptability and performance in three urban contexts
Pictor, our lighting system that perfectly adapts to every context, is the star of three installations. In Riccione, it enhances the small harbor, playing with two different heights between Viale Bellini and the walkway alongside the water. In San Salvo, it brightens the Ciclovia Adriatica, the award-winning bike path along the coast. In Logroño, Spain, it both decorates and illuminates a new residential center, adding visual rhythm and atmosphere to the urban landscape. A lighting system designed to blend elegantly: essential design, top performance, total adaptability.
