Story
From fluorescent tube to surreal arc
Tubelight was born from BCXSY's love for fluorescent tubes. The collective wanted to bend reality in a way that is both simple and surreal, and the result is a pure, minimalistic suspension light with a twist that sets it apart from traditional fixtures.
An office staple made strange
BCXSY takes something recognisable and turns it into an alienating object that is both mesmerising and intriguing: an unexpected, modern take on fluorescent lights that brings an office staple to life.
