LIGHTUBE: Woodspars Develops a Lightweight Hollow Wood Tube for Architecture and Interior Design

With LIGHTUBE, Woodspars introduces a new approach to technical wood

In architecture and interior design, expectations around materials are evolving rapidly. Beyond appearance alone, specifiers are now looking for solutions that combine lightness, precision, technical integration and high-quality finishes. It is within this context that Woodspars developed LIGHTUBE, a lightweight hollow wood tube designed to meet the demands of contemporary projects.

LIGHTUBE is based on a hollow-core structure combined with a premium wood finish. This design significantly reduces weight compared with solid wood components, while preserving the visual presence and perceived quality of the material. The result is a solution that is easier to handle, install and integrate into demanding environments, while also optimizing the use of raw material.

One of the product’s main advantages lies in its inner cavity, which is designed to discreetly accommodate technical functions. Electrical wiring, data lines, LED connectors and even mechanical systems can be integrated without disrupting the formal simplicity of the object. In this way, wood is no longer limited to a structural or decorative role: it becomes a true integration medium.

This approach opens up possibilities across a wide range of applications. LIGHTUBE can be used in premium interior fit-outs, lighting and suspended elements, scenography, exhibition stands and museum design, but also in more technical environments such as cabin fittings, space dividers, cladding solutions and selected transport or onboard design projects.

Woodspars also highlights the industrial dimension behind the innovation. Designed, prototyped and manufactured in Brittany, LIGHTUBE benefits from an integrated design office, dedicated R&D capabilities and production resources specialized in complex round structures and custom-made components. This expertise allows the solution to be adapted to the aesthetic, technical and functional constraints of high-end projects.

With LIGHTUBE, Woodspars illustrates how technical wood is evolving toward lighter, more integrated and more versatile uses. It is a development likely to interest architects, designers and manufacturers looking for solutions that combine performance, material efficiency and visual quality.
