FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York, NY – April 4, 2025 – Ideoli Group, a global leader in innovative lighting and electrical solutions, is proud to announce that our work on the F1 Arcade in Washington, DC has been awarded the Winner in the Design (Best Modular Product Design) category at the 2025 Netty Awards—one of the most esteemed honors in the digital and design industries. This recognition underscores Ideoli’s ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation, modular design, and immersive lighting experiences.

The Netty Awards are a trusted benchmark celebrating excellence across more than 100 categories, honoring global agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and groundbreaking innovators from around the world. To be recognized among such distinguished company is both humbling and energizing for our team.

“The foundation of this achievement lies in the exceptional leadership and collaboration led by Kilani Digiacomo of Villa Lighting Supply, based in St. Louis,” said George Stroumboulis, CEO of Ideoli Group. “Kilani’s ability to build trusted partnerships and translate design intent into actionable solutions allowed our team to thrive and deliver beyond expectations. Together, we created a seamless process that empowered innovation and execution at every step.”

Kilani Digiacomo worked closely with Ideoli, F1 Arcade, and Anamo Design Studio (London-based) to ensure the fixtures met both high-performance demands and bold aesthetic goals. Her guidance during site visits, integration with designers, and collaboration with trade professionals played a pivotal role in the project’s success.

“Working with custom manufacturers like Ideoli goes beyond creating lighting—it’s about turning creative concepts into reality,” said Kilani Digiacomo, Director of National Accounts at Villa Lighting Supply. “This project was a testament to what true partnership and trust can accomplish—design solutions that not only elevate a space but streamline implementation and deliver long-term performance. I’m incredibly proud of what we achieved together.”

Ideoli’s in-house engineering team played a crucial role in developing custom modular lighting solutions tailored to the project’s needs.

“Collaborating so closely with Kilani and her team provided invaluable insight into the client’s goals,” said Chris Hartswick, Chief Product Officer at Ideoli. “That connection enabled us to engineer fixtures that met the perfect intersection of performance, maintenance, and aesthetics.”

The F1 Arcade project features custom LED fixtures designed to mimic the curves and flow of iconic Formula 1 racetracks. Using advanced RGBW technology and DMX control, the fixtures produce full-spectrum color capabilities and dynamic chase effects, immersing guests in the excitement of Formula 1 racing. More than just visually striking, the solution is built with durability, sustainability, and flexibility in mind—crafted from high-quality materials and engineered for efficient retrofitting to reduce waste.

Winners of the Netty Awards are selected based on creativity, technical excellence, and innovation. This win is a tribute to the hard work, precision, and passion that went into the F1 Arcade project.

As we celebrate this momentous honor, we want to recognize the unwavering dedication of our team, our partners, and especially our clients who trust us to deliver bold and brilliant solutions.
