Our Notch 1, Profile Mini Frame and Portal families of luminaires have all been selected by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture & Design as winners in the Lighting category.
Now in its 71st year, Good Design® is one of the world’s most prestigious, recognized, and oldest Design Awards programs organized annually by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design in cooperation with the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies and Metropolitan Arts Press, Ltd.
In 2021, several thousand designers and visionary companies from over 55 countries entered the competition. The jurors reviewed the entries in order to assess not just the aesthetic merit of each entry, but materials selected, the level of craftsmanship, the surface structure, ergonomics, innovation, sustainability, and functionality. |

“Good Design philosophy recognizes and values the impact design has in people’s lives, understanding that design is not just about the object created, but also about the experience and how it makes us feel, think, and learn.”

PROFILE MINI FRAME
A geometrically synthesized collection of discrete pendant forms composed of two and four foot squares and triangles as well as a 2’x4’ rectangular aesthetic. The Frame optics are optimized to correlate with the closed architecture of the closed geometric forms for optimal balance of performance and visual comfort.
With a form only two inches in height, Frame offers exceptional performance for general ambient illumination applications. It is possible to achieve up to 15 ft o.c. spacing pace for aggressive and sustainable, energy efficient design with power densities of under 0.40 W/ft2. |

NOTCH 1
A linear LED recessed luminaire with a unique hollow aperture design of just 1.5”, Notch 1 changes and challenges the industry standard. Delivering an actual slot in the ceiling which can be extruded right to the vertical face of the drywall, Notch adds texture, depth and detail to an otherwise undifferentiated category of products.
With the integration of Fluxwerx Anidolic-extraction optics, Notch 1 provides precisely controlled optical symmetric and asymmetric area distributions with no view of the LED point source. Precision-engineered, high transmittance, clear acrylic lenses mix and disperse light, eliminating any visible images of the LED point source – up to 12′ o.c. spacing delivering 31 fc @ 0.39 W/ft2. |
