FLOS’s Wirering is a simple, stripped-down luminaire that is midway between a wall and floor lamp.

Using the cylindrical Flindt Bollard as his starting point, Danish designer Christian Flindt created Louis Poulsen’s new Flindt Wall, a circular wall-mounted luminaire that brings bold, sculptural illumination to both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Litecontrol’s Vora 50L architectural recessed troffer utilizes laser-etched, acrylic light guides for edge lighting, resulting in uniform illumination across the entire surface of the luminaire. A center mixing chamber captures excess light exiting the opposite end of the light guides and recycles it uniformly within the chamber, which allows users visual access to a portion of the luminaire that is typically shielded with a diffuser.
