PIXEL-PERFECT BRILLIANCE

CRYSTAL PIXELS REIMAGINES LIGHTING WITH METICULOUS CRAFTSMANSHIP, BLENDING CRYSTAL ELEGANCE, DIGITAL NOSTALGIA, AND ARTISTIC TECHNOLOGY INTO A HARMONIOUS DISPLAY.

“COMPOSITIONALLY, CRYSTAL PIXELS IS ONE OF OUR MOST VERSATILE LAUNCHES TO DATE. INDIVIDUAL CRYSTAL PIXELS CAN BE USED SOLO OR STACKED VERTICALLY. LINEAR, GRID-LIKE OPTIONS ARE ALSO EFFECTIVE, WHILE COMPOSITIONS IN DYNAMIC CLUSTERS CAN BE DESIGNED TO EVOKE CLOUD-LIKE FORMATIONS, WAVES OR SWARMS.”

Much like paper, ink, and paint have been vital creative components, pixels also play a fundamental role in today’s digital landscape. Preciosa Lighting pays tribute to this contemporary creative element with the launch of its newest Signature Design, Crystal Pixels. Following the landmark Milan Design Week installation, Crystal Beat 2, Crystal Pixels encapsulates the allure of early digital art aesthetics. This lighting piece is meticulously handcrafted cube by cube, resulting in orthogonal grid structures, clean lines, and geometric shapes that capture the essence of early digital art’s elegance and accuracy.

Highly functional and adaptable, Crystal Pixels offers various lighting effects to create any desired atmosphere. In addition to the Injected Lighting effect that radiates light from all sides of the pendant, this lighting concept includes Functional Lighting, which directs the light beam downward through the bottom of each pixel component, effectively illuminating the space and surfaces beneath it. Another advanced option is the Directional Injected Lighting effect, which allows precise control over each of the five sides of the Crystal Pixel with RGBW lighting. Each pendant can also be individually programmed to generate dynamic and innovative lighting scenes.

Michael Vasku, co-Creative Director of Preciosa, describes Crystal Pixels as a minimalist object that highlights the rich visual quality of clear crystal without compromising functionality. He adds, “The opal Crystal Pixels can be seen as a highly decorative lighting system using PRECIOSA’s Directional Injected Light technology, making it stand out beyond any state-of-the-art alternatives.”

HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL AND ADAPTABLE, CRYSTAL PIXELS OFFERS VARIOUS LIGHTING EFFECTS TO CREATE ANY DESIRED ATMOSPHERE. IN ADDITION TO THE INJECTED LIGHTING EFFECT THAT RADIATES LIGHT FROM ALL SIDES OF THE PENDANT, THIS LIGHTING CONCEPT INCLUDES FUNCTIONAL LIGHTING, WHICH DIRECTS THE LIGHT BEAM DOWNWARD THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF EACH PIXEL COMPONENT, EFFECTIVELY ILLUMINATING THE SPACE AND SURFACES BENEATH IT.

Crystal Pixels is available in three cube sizes (130mm, 170mm, and 210mm), three materials (clear crystal, bubbled crystal, and opal), and three imprinted patterns (radial, concentric, and diagonal). With customisable sizes, materials, and programming options for each cube, Crystal Pixels offers designers the freedom to create unique lighting scenes and realise their creative vision fully.

Andreas Klug, co-Creative Director of Preciosa, emphasises the versatility of Crystal Pixels. “Individual Crystal Pixels can be used solo or stacked vertically. Linear, grid-like options are also effective, while compositions in dynamic clusters can evoke cloudlike formations, waves, or swarms,” he explains.
