Volumetric Diffuser
Hidden Diffuser
Indirect
Creation of visual hierarchies through
projected light, emphasising the materiality
and texture of the surrounding environment
Reflected

Full-circle grazing light
Direct
Directed grazing light
Mood Grazer
Tunable white or infinite colour regulation
to curate the perfect atmosphere
Surface Grazer
Linear
Bathing a vertical surface with
light projected from a linear lighting
application
Spot
Bathing a vertical surface with
light projected from a spot lighting
application
Vertical lighting to give structure and
amplitude to a space. Diffuse light is
reflected from the illuminated surface for
a soft and homogeneous atmosphere
