Dutch Invertuals collaborated with the iconic Luxaflex® brand to explore light in new forms. Six designers share their visions, going beyond the obvious.
The collective’s distinctive approach, based on research and experiment, will give a refreshing and poetic insight into the role of light in our future living environments. Their explorations move, shine and glow, providing the audience with new insights into aesthetics, experiences and usability’s to come. By reflecting on these perspectives, the Invertuals reconsider light and its relationship with products designed by Luxaflex.
