Plusminus

Overview

Plusminus is a lighting system, designed by Diez Office for Vibia, that takes the concept of the light track to a new level. A conductive textile belt sits at its core, and luminaires can be placed freely along it so that lighting solutions are created on the spot.

The belt

The belt is polyester and conducts electricity, and it can be cut as needed. It accepts multiple luminaires and works with plug-in technology. The tension can range from taut to relaxed, and each luminaire clicks into a buckle on the belt. One electrical connection supports a maximum of 60 metres of belt, and belt length is personalised for each composition. There are five belt colours.

Luminaires

Six luminaire types each have their own lighting effect. The luminaires come in five finishes, and the LED temperature is 2700 K, 3000 K or 3500 K.

Control and connection

The system is designed to accept a variety of electrical installations, with several dimming control options and several electrical connection options.

A belt in which you place all kinds of luminaires

Plusminus is the fluidity of light. A textural fabric belt conducts electricity, so light flows through the space, and the system gives professionals a toolkit for personalised lighting effects and unique atmospheres with different luminaires.

Shapes the belt can take

The belt can dip into soft curves for pendant lamps and chandeliers, be pulled taut to trace geometric track lighting, or cut across a space to form installations and room dividers. The toolkits include component pieces, colours and textures that adapt to the constraints of a space.

Luminaires on the belt

Each belt accommodates multiple luminaires, with six luminaire types ranging from diffuse light to more targeted illumination.
