SparkShape

A custom-made luminaire designed in-house with technology that allows complete freedom of design in terms of form: Ambright makes this vision a reality. With the Munich-based company's "SparkShapes", it is possible to embed active components such as LEDs, drivers, attachment points and optics in a specially developed carrier material. An individual shape is then carved out of this, six millimetres slim. A clear recognition feature: the continuous light edge. In addition to the shape of the luminaire, the orientation and intensity of the LEDs can also be freely specified. "The existing range of established luminaire manufacturers comes from the catalogue. Our product, on the other hand, is designable, more digital and more agile: With this technology, virtually any shape can be produced in any size," says founder and CEO Dr.-Ing. Florian Ilchmann.

Two examples of the great variance of these high-quality unique pieces can currently be experienced at smow München in Hohenzollernstrasse 70: In addition to design classics and furnishing advice, the renowned retailer has recently started offering two pendant lights that Managing Director Christian Prüller designed himself using Ambright technology. "The possibility of creating your own design with Ambright's innovation and a reduced material is ingenious. The luminaires can thus be designed together with the customers and are each unique," Christian Prüller reports with enthusiasm. His creations show a luminaire as a thinker's bubble that refers to a painting and homogeneously illuminates a double workstation, as well as a partly separate Yin and Yang symbol that is ideally positioned in the staircase like a mobile. "Each element can be controlled individually via Casambi – or you can activate only the light edge, which creates a variety of atmospheres in all cases," he adds. smow has thus become a creative collaborator for Ambright's idea of producing unique premium luminaires in small quantities. "The lights are very well received by customers because it is completely transparent where they come from. Light means emotion and that is as personal as Ambright's luminaires," says Christian Prüller.
