LINETIK free-standing LED luminaire focuses on the essentials

LINETIK stands out from the office lighting crowd with a delicate design language. Despite its distinctive look, this free-standing luminaire can be integrated effortlessly into any office environment. Even more amazing is the fact that the slim body, at 24 x 24 mm cross section, and compact base conceal a revolutionary lighting concept: light exactly where the user needs it. "The requirements for LINETIK were clear. Ensure the best lighting technology in the smallest space, delivering light that can be individually controlled by the user," says Sebastian Schubnell, Zumtobel Project Manager for Future Lighting Solutions, about the idea behind this innovative LED luminaire.

Zumtobel found the right partners for this ambitious project in three designers - Simon Fisher and Matt Free from »F Mark Ltd and Luke Smith-Wightman. "We have questioned absolutely everything – from existing lighting solutions to the way offices are designed. The unique shape of LINETIK grew out of a desire to really only use what is needed," explains Matt Free, Director at F Mark Ltd.

A radical approach that focuses on the real essentials - the best light for every task in every workplace for every employee. No stone was left unturned in the development of a new optical system to achieve this target. Despite the compact physical dimensions, the optical system had to use minimal energy to deliver a precise lighting distribution – light that is directed exactly where the individual requires it, without the inconvenience of glare and anything less than complete uniformity.
