Forward-looking design study of the light contour

Under the direction of Lorenz Noelle, the Ambright design team conducted a study on the targeted further development of the light edge of SparkShape luminaires. The aim was to reinterpret the characteristic light edge as a central, sculptural design element and to enhance its effect in the room and in the design language.

Intensive research into materials, manufacturing technologies, light intensity, edge shapes, and proportions resulted in a precisely designed, elegantly rounded finish that creates a much more prominent light contour.

This new light contour emphasizes the shape of the SparkShape luminaires even when viewed from the side – it gives the flat bodies more volume, increases the long-distance effect, and allows the surface material to recede visually. In this way, the light contour itself becomes the central aesthetic element with a distinctive, sculptural presence.

For the first time, printed-light technology makes it possible to specifically modulate the visibility of the luminaire end with a delicate overall thickness of only 6 millimeters – sometimes clearly accentuated, sometimes subtly embedded in the architecture.

The study impressively demonstrates how precisely designed light contours open up new possibilities in architectural lighting design by harmoniously combining form, structure, and spatial effect. With this project, Ambright reaffirms its commitment to combining innovation, technology, and design for the benefit of modern architecture and its customers.

For the future, designers now have the option of deciding for themselves whether they want to work with the striking light edge or prefer the new, softer light contour—depending on the light image and effect they want to achieve.
