”The idea was to make a downlight that isn’t just a hole in the ceiling”, says Kristian Andréason of Andréason and Leibel about Quad — the studio’s new LED light for ateljé Lyktan”. Normally downlights don’t do much for the experience of a space, but we wanted to make an impact with this light”. Quad is a very slim, ceiling mounted luminaire with an elegant chrome edge. Its microprismatic acrylic glass diffuses the light and conceals the LED plate and the cooling system. By being wider at the base than at the point where the shade is fixed to the ceiling, the Quad also reflects its light upwards, giving it a halo-like glow. “The downlight simultaneously becomes an uplight with this subtle design touch”, says ateljé Lyktan’s design engineer Stefan Hofflander.

Quad comes in two sizes: 430x430 mm and 260x260 mm. Its name suggests a square shape but because of its heavily rounded corners it has a more abstract outline that is neither square nor round. “We want it to have a subtle impact on any interior”, says Andréason. “Playing around with the shape was crucial for achieving that”. This is Andréason Leibel’s third project for ateljé Lyktan. They have previously designed Kiwi, a task light with an incredibly thin profile, and the blown glass light, Tundra. Although these luminaires are very different from each other, they have one thing in common — their lightness of being and flexibility to work in many different environments.
