Beautiful on and visually interesting when off

The design of LP Xperi rests on the belief that a luminaire must be beautiful when on and visually interesting when off. By day, the open, geometric design captures the sun's rays and filters them through the luminaire, with an ever-changing view of the sky through the ribs.

Ribs as reflectors

As darkness falls, the luminaire ignites a luminous mix of modern design elements, materials and technology. Seen from a distance, the top of the luminaire can be screened; closer up, the underside of the ribs becomes visible. The ribs serve as reflectors that directly illuminate the space beneath them with centrally positioned LEDs. The expression is geometric yet organic. LP Xperi was announced as new in July 2018 and was available from September 2018.
