InOpera

Founded as a creative hub for HYLEtech, it has evolved into an independent production company specializing in the development and industrialization of complex and custom projects. Organized as a Creative HUB with an R&D laboratory and dedicated production facility, the company innovates the industrial process through an open and multidisciplinary vision that integrates technical, design, and creative skills.

The experience gained with HYLEtech has consolidated an advanced approach to matter and to technology, now applied to different materials and processes, transforming heterogeneous concepts into concrete, achievable, and scalable solutions. InOpera works across the Retail, Luxury Living, Restaurant, Yachting and Hotellerie sectors, supporting brands and designers from prototyping to installation, with direct, industrial control of every stage of the process.

What We Do

Creative HYLEtech HUB

HYLEtech’s Creative HUB, designed to implement new forms of design based on this innovative technology. From the very first projects, InOpera’s expertise has been fundamental in enabling solutions that combine design, art, and architecture, establishing a synergy that continues over time.

HYLEtech allows working with a material that contains its own light, and InOpera transforms it into concrete works, realizing the dream of contemporary alchemy: creating starting from matter that becomes light, with projects that combine experimentation, technology, and manufacturing capability.

Contract projects and custom production

InOpera supports brands and designers in the realization of complex contract projects, translating ideas into tangible and functional solutions.

Thanks to an integrated approach to design, prototyping, and industrial production, the company creates architectural surfaces and systems, built-in and integrated furniture, loose furniture, architectural and decorative lighting, temporary installations, and interior accessories. Each project is customized to harmonize with its context, delivering high quality standards on an industrial scale while ensuring the uniqueness and identity of each creation.

Emanuel Gargano - Compositions

After studying at ISIA (Institute of Higher Education in the Artistic Industries) in Urbino, Emanuel Gargano moved to London, collaborating with international designers and exploring the relationship between light and space. Today, he divides his time between New York and his studio in Assisi, bringing a poetic and rigorous vision to design.

InOpera entrusted Gargano with the Compositions collection, where light does not merely illuminate, but defines and generates the very shape of objects. His Compositions create islands of light that interact with each other, attracting, repelling, and merging, transforming iconography and layout into star maps and offering a unique sensory experience, in which perception, matter, and light merge into a single composition.

The boundary and the aura

In Gargano's Compositions, this boundary is ungovernable: the objects project light from within, which spreads into the surrounding darkness. The form is therefore composed of a peiron and its aura: the boundary that embraces the body is not, as in Aristotle’s view, immobile. The works are not illuminated by the patterns of an external light source; they themselves become masses of light that seem to expand the space rather than be contained by it.

Septenaries

The numbering of the Compositions follows an arithmetic progression based on the number 7. Seven are the planets. Seven are the aspects of what we see: body, distance, shape, size, color, movement, and rest. Seven are the types of movement: up, down, forward, backward, right, left, and circular. Plato composed the soul out of seven numbers. Seven are the vowels, seven the alterations of the voice, seven are the ages of life: child, boy, adolescent, youth, man, elder, old man. (Iamblichus, The Theology of Arithmetic). For Emanuel Gargano, the essential meaning of seven concerns the light—the aura—that expands the perimeter of the object of the Compositions.

Triennale Milan - 2025

In the Triennale exhibition space (April 8-13), with a collection of works designed by Emanuel Gragano. InOpera presents HYLEtech: a new material, center of orbit for unprecedented technical and perceptual possibilities will orbit, new ideas for design, art, and architecture. For Plato, hyle is the original matter that can take any form. HYLEtech is matter made of aluminum and light, a sort of fifth element. HYLEtech’s inner light is a light that, from the center of matter, expands like an aura. The boundary of an object is determined by the intensity of the light it radiates. Light thus contributes to creating a form rather than simply illuminating it. Products and works become light that has taken on a thickness, light thickness.
