Canadian Lighting Company Archilume Unveils Alto

Alto

May 22, 2018

Inspired by minimalist shapes condensed to their most basic yet visually strong essential forms, Archilume’s functional lighting arrangements lend a sculptural element to modern spaces. The new luminaire systems share Archilume’s signature characteristic: glare-free illumination employing the principle of total internal reflection optics, a natural phenomenon perfected and brought to the world of decorative lighting by Archilume.

Defined by a strong upper conical shape, Alto’s form finishes at its base with a jewel-like transparent element reminiscent of a craftsman cut diamond. Alto emits a flattering warm light that is free from glare owing to Archilume’s signature application of total internal reflection optics. This design, incorporating the latest warm dimming LED technology, transitions form a color temperature of 3000 degrees Kelvin at full brightness to a warm color temperature of 1800 degrees Kelvin when dimmed. Alto can hang as a single element or be grouped to create an inspiring installation on a grand scale. Alto is fully compatible with Archilume’s Configurate canopy system for expanded creative lighting expressions.
