Light expanding spatial limits - Sconfine luminaire range by Matteo Thun
Sconfine luminaire
With the new Sconfine luminaire range, developed in collaboration with the well-known designer Matteo Thun, Zumtobel Lighting is presenting a series of wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted and pendant luminaires that, due to the lighting they produce, simulate an expansion of spatial limits, creating an effect of depth.
Light provided by Sconfine luminaires allows to playfully expand spatial dimensions, enabling to extend a room’s spatial limits, giving visitors the impression of different room geometry.
Visual depth is created by this interplay of light, freeing the room from its metric dimensions. In this way, the lighting can dissolve spatial boundaries and create completely new spatial effects.
The luminaire range includes ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted and pendant luminaires. Chrome in various forms is part of the luminaire design, establishing the creative link throughout the range.
Sconfine Linea pendant luminaires cannot fail to impress with their elegant design. Reduced to the lighting effect it produces, the luminaire unit appears almost immaterial.
The luminaire ends are covered by chrome cases. Three design lengths, and pendant lengths of more than four metres allow for a wealth of applications, also in rooms with high ceilings such as staircases, foyers and halls.
The luminaires can be installed vertically or horizontally. Special components enable to create luminaire arrangements, whose apparently floating light lines seem to visually extend the room and dissolve its spatial geometry.
Sconfine Cubo is a wall- and ceiling-mounted luminaire incorporating LED technology, which comes into its own both as an individual luminaire and a luminaire cluster.
It creates a lively combination of light and colour. The individual luminaire fitted with a 1W LED is invisibly accommodated in the chrome-plated housing with built-in control gear.
A cube-shaped translucent reflector made of polycarbonate with diffuser-pearl optic in frosted white ensures the desired uniform illumination of the luminaire unit.
Sconfine Cubo is also available as a module comprising nine cubes in white, amber, red, blue and green light colours. Overlapping coloured light projections produce new colour mixes, with the spectrum changing continuously.
Generated at random, actuation of the individual lighting modules in a dimming range between 5 - 100 % ensures a dynamic crescendo and fading of the overall lighting.
This creates an effect of room depth. The individual cubes have different heights (70mm, 100mm, 130mm), dissolving the luminaire’s geometry.
Sconfine Sfera spherical pendant luminaires provide an ideal lighting effect due to their partly transparent luminaire unit with chrome coating.
Besides directly emitted light, light is reflected inside the luminaire unit, making it seem to float. The lamps or the LED module is visibly located in the spherical luminaire unit.
An opal inner sphere ensures optimum glare control while in conjunction with the chrome coating enhancing the impression of plasticity and room depth.
Sconfine Sfera is available with various different light sources, from energy-saving lamps to advanced LED technology. This makes it ideal for many different applications, allowing to optimally adjust it to its respective use.
