At INELCOM we are firmly convinced that our history and our culture are essential elements to grow and advance in society. The INELCOM Contemporary Art Collection was born from this idea, a long-term project where we show how and what challenges we face from the company through works by established artists and young authors. The works gathered under the collection are based on four concepts strongly linked to the company and in turn questions that make us reflect on current social concerns and challenges:

INELCOM LIGHTING is explicitly present within the collection through the thematic line “energy”. The concern for the conservation of the environment and the search for greater efficiency with the least environmental impact of INELCOM LIGHTING products allows this line of business to be linked with other concepts dealt with in the exhibition
