We need flexibility from our spaces more than ever, and it's not just furniture that can help up the modularity of an interior. Below are top options in today's market for lighting that's adaptable to the needs and preferences of users.

MAZHA LIGHT SYSTEM 5.0

Mario Tsai Studio

Inspired by scaffolding used in urban construction, the Mazha Light System 5.0 is a modular set up comprising straight metal rods positioned horizontally. These elements can be added upon to expand the reach of the light, and the system is equipped with different light forms and optical responses envisioned by Mario Tsai Studio.

STANT

Karman

Karman worked with Italian designer Edmondo Testaguzza to bring Stant, a direct-light pendant lamp, to life. A series of suspension and ceiling lights, Stant is characterized by motionless, linear shapes in the spirit of early 20th-century engineering structures. The designs are assembled with visible pins, which allows a user to freely insert new elements like spotlight.

AMBROSIA

Marset

Conceived by Ciszak Dalmas, Marset’s Ambrosia luminaire iterates upon traditional linestra lamps and their modular nature. Dalmas sought to create a system that merged the technicality of those lamps with poetic design. The result, Ambrosia, is available in four preset lengths that can be easily adjusted during ceiling installation.

CORDON

Martinelli Luce

Martinelli Luce’s Cordon lighting arrangement by Serge and Robert Cornelissen is composed of cylindrical forms connected by their black cable wiring. Users can position these forms on ceilings as they wish, giving way to bespoke arrangements suited to the needs of time and place.  

PITON

Muuto

Building upon the look and feel of portable, battery-powered lamps, Tom Chung envisioned Piton, a lamp suited for various environments. The Muuto design adopts the multifunctionality of flashlights with elegant material expression. It can be used lying, sitting, or standing, with 6 hours of battery life. 

NASTRO 

Tooy

Rectangular sections and curved elements come together in the Nastro collection by Studiopepe for Tooy. Suspended and wall compositions with endless configurations are possible with the architectural lighting system, which has a dimmable LED light source. 

PLUSMINUS

Vibia

Plusminus is based on a conductive textile ribbon along which luminaires can be placed to create custom lighting solutions. Diez Office designed it to offer a toolkit for personalizing lighting effects. Components, colours and textures can be adapted and combined to suit each specific scheme and site.
