Luminous Patterns

by Philips · Netherlands · MET281 · Published 29 Aug 2015
About this material

Luminous Patterns opens up a world of exciting new possibilities for designers. All these lights are digitally connected, enabling you to craft dynamic effects that bring a space to life, from vibrant sequences to subtle ambiances.

Philips created this collection of four light effects. Sparkling points of light have an enchanting combination of warmth and brilliance with a rich, golden light that resembles real candles. Radiant lines of light enhance spaces with a visual motion. Luminous 2D patterns are lasercut so that you can infuse a graphic pattern with a gentle luminosity. And glowing 3D patterns are laser-cut and bent into a variety of shapes, creating delightful patterns of light with shadow and depth.

Luminous Patterns panels are built to order and are available in a range of standard or custom finishes. The light effects can be arranged in a choice of distinctive patterns, including those by Dutch graphic designer Jessica Nielsen. The stock patterns can be applied to various panel sizes and can span multiple panel layouts. You can also design your own custom layouts of light nodes to create a bespoke feature.

From flickering candles to sparkling sunlight, natural dynamic lighting stimulates the senses like nothing else. New technologies are being developed to permit lighting systems to be embedded directly into architectural surfaces. Philips explores how these new technologies – including conductive inks, flexible electronics, digital fabrication and eco-friendly materials – may fuse together to drive future innovation, including the impact on architectural system detailing, maintenance and life-cycle considerations.
