Axolute Style Tech

The Italian electrical systems firm BTicino has published the book Axolute Style Tech on the occasion of the presentation of the high-tech electrical system Axolute, which permits creating artificial landscapes or atmospheric symphonies in keeping with the mood of the user.

The book is a luxurious volume produced by Cristina Morozzi, design critic and author of works such as Oggetti risorti (1998) or Stile Italiano... (2000).

This book revolves around new ways of interrelating with the inhabited space, where high-tech systems permit the user to illuminate rooms at will and to thus express his or her sensibility and creativity. Going to high technology to return to candlelight. This personalisation of the surrounding space responds to the expansion of the idea of accessible luxury, which has made profound inroads into the world of fashion and architecture.

The work, enriched by the artistic direction of Fabrizio Sclavi, the essays of Giusi Ferré and Marco Romanelli and the photographs of Robert Polidori and Enrico Suà Ummarino, visualises luxury and fashion spaces through words and images, places where the connection with design and architecture emerges in a very evident way.

Ib2 Sistemas was founded in Barcelona in 1994 and in 2010 it started in Finland with a new name ib2 Nordic. From the beginning, ib2sistemas has based its work on learning and product knowledge. In 2001 Ib2 sistemas joined the Technical Service of Bticino, receiving instruction for its entire range of products (repair and maintenance, data networking and automation). Ib2 Sistemas is responsible for the area in northeastern Spain. In these years of cooperation with Bticino we have increased our experience and we have advanced together with Bticino in the innovation of its products, so being able to give our customers a personalized and professional advice on our resources and needs.

Bticino History

To become a leading brand in the Italian electrical industry, the future Bticino began in 1936 as A.L.Bassani, from the name of its founders Arnaldo and Luigi Bassani. Initially centred on the production of clothing accessories, then metal hardware for a variety of applications, in 1943 it specialized its production in electrical components for the home. From the very beginning, the focus on the industrial project as a whole has been a distinguishing factor of the Company's modus operandi. In the immediate postwar period, Bticino contributed significantly to the modernization of the building heritage with innovative products that often anticipated market choices and evolution. Bassani Ticino (a name that would be adopted after 1974) was the first manufacturer in Italy to conceive of electrical components - from the "electrical panel" to the light switch - as industrial product design, not only in the perspective of standardized production and low cost, but in terms of their environmental significance, as components in a greater living system. The results of this strategy have been evident in the industrial equipment that Bticino has designed and manufactured since the early 1950's: from the switch with fuses in 1953 to the Salvamotore in 1960, to the development of a series of devices for electrical panels which responded to standards of flexibility and modularity, introduced in the mid-Sixties with Minitiker and Megatiker. In these products, the aesthetic and functional features evolve significantly, adding new performance factors such as modularity and compactness. Bassani Ticino, which historically advanced a capillary international export policy, achieving a leadership position in many geographical areas, became part of the French group Legrand in 1989, changing its name to Bticino.
