The vertical story
Strong lines that bring verticals to your interior, Extruded is made for dialogue. Light to shadow, people to people. Discover how this design found itself inside the mind of designer Alain Gilles and made its way to our engineer's workspace.
Simple and strong
Extruded Stripped shows its design with one strong, vertical presence. Different sizes, mounting options, and several colour combinations provide attractive possibilities for interiors. The simplicity was not so easy to build, however. A three-way collaboration and a lot of thinking can testify to that.
It was the ribs
Seeing the ribbed cardboard used by architects for mock-ups sparked a new thought in the mind of designer Alain Gilles. For the ribs to catch the light of day in just the right way, their shape and sharpness would need a lot of fine tuning. This meant a lot of testing back and forth. An intense collaboration soon began between the designer, a Modular engineer, and an extruder expert.

Slim and elegant
Always keeping modularity in mind, we based the shaft's diameter on the size of the reflector. This allowed us to maintain a slim shape while having enough room for ventilation. Additionally, omitting the driver inside the design reinforced Alain's aspiration to create an elegant architectural element.
Stripped to the essence
Extruded Stripped stays true to its pure design. We designed a special front ring. Its sloped curve catches the reflector's light beautifully. And with the prismatic diffuser we added, it gives a nice, softer, and more homogeneous light beam.
"We spent a significant amount of time perfecting the ring's shape to ensure it complements the overall design of the luminaire. It's an element that really defines Extruded Stripped." Wouter Denoulet – Development Engineer

Two-in-one cable
For Extruded Stripped, we took the vertical line to the next level. Just one smooth, straight cable can be seen holding the luminaire. We chose a more flexible cable so that it can hang nicely stretched and without any bumps.
