The Ghost range originates from
a simple but revolutionary idea
that thanks to careful engineering
became an industrial luminaire: to
create out-and-out luminous cavities
inside concrete and conceal the
fixture so to make the light a unique
feature in the architecture.
This concept, initially conceived for
cast concrete walls, is now available
in new innovative variants that
turn it into a luminaire suitable
for different construction materials:
insulation panels, breeze blocks,
concrete walls or other construction
materials that require a surface
finish like plasterboard, mosaic or
ceramic tiles, stone or wood.
In the collection “The Structural Light” of SIMES,
light integrates into the architecture so as to
become itself a live material like concrete, brick or
stone, capable of perceiving and of living spaces
in a functional and pleasant manner. The concept
is the one of total and global integration with the
context and the architecture. Ghost and Brick
of Light are the real synthesis of this constantly
evolving research.
The base of inspiration for the
Brick Light project has been the
modularity, the resistance and the
uniqueness of an an element that
has accompanied humanity in its
constructive progress over the last
5000 years.
Brick light is a luminous brick in full
glass thought and conceived as a
real construction brick. It the same
dimensions of a clay brick, it can
freely be inserted in the construction
phase.
Brick light makes light becoming
a structural element and through
the shape of the brick it acquires
its own materiality to define and to
increase the value of the volumes of
the architecture.
