Entry DescriptionThe patented system ILE-InfinityLedExperience set into the entire structure of the bioclimatic pergola MIRA uses a combination of mirrors and LED lights to create an illusion of depth and infinity that deceives the eye and charms the heart.
Our purpose was to create a bioclimatic pergola, usually an imposing and heavy structure, that appears light, empty and almost ethereal.
What makes MIRA so special is the ILE modules integrated on the entire structure, a system based on a principle of lighting design and then developed into a visionary expression. During the day, the ILE modules appear as mirrored surfaces that reflect the surrounding landscape, so that MIRA blends in, almost invisible. When the sun sets, the real magic begins: MIRA lights up, transforming into the centrepiece of any space of your garden and outdoors. Thanks to an illusion created by mirrors and LED lights, it seems empty with infinite lights for an effect with a high emotional impact.
All the lights are dimmable and customisable with lighting effects and chromatic tone control to offer comfort and chromotherapy on all conditions. Moreover, thanks to the perimeter and ceiling lights it makes sure to light up the evening even more, so that the outdoor can be experience at all hours.
MIRA is the bioclimatic pergola that protects you from the sun and offers you the stars.
Sustainability ApproachSustainability is the only possible future, and at Sidera S.r.l. we are very aware of the policies and actions that need to be taken. All our products are manufactured in a carbon-free factory that uses solar energy to power its machinery (and more).
Moreover, Mira's main materials are 100% recyclable aluminium and glass, with low-consumption LED lighting installed.
At the moment the bioclimatic pergola is just a prototype, but in the future it will be possible to install walls of mirrored glass with high refractive power to provide thermal insulation and reduce cooling costs in the summer.
