Top row, left to right:
Wrapped
Fagerhult
Fagerhultsays it’s the ‘world’s first premium pendant luminaire made of cardboard’. The Wrapped fixture is made of organic recycled cardboard – known as solid board – which has 89 per cent less climate impact per kilogram than virgin aluminium.
ReUSE and ReCYCLE
In2tec
This UK-based sustainable electronics specialist, has introduced a technology designed to allow industrial LED boards to be separated at end-of-life without damaging components. Combined with ReCYCLE, a low-energy recovery process, it enables manufacturers to reclaim materials such as substrates and electronic parts for reuse in future production.
Seraphim
Spark + Bell
Seraphín is a pendant made from recycled CD cases saved from landfil. With over 120 CD cases in each three-tier chandelier, Seraphín keeps over eight kilograms of plastic from going to waste. It features crystalline drops made from the ‘Jewel’ recycled plastic, giving an ethereal quality to its cascading, multi-tiered design.
Middle row, left to right:
Twin Dual Driver
Fagerhult
This driver powers two luminaires and cuts total environmental impact by 49 percent compared to two separate drivers. The luminaires can be up to 4.8 metres apart. Developed in association with Helvar, it boasts streamlined electronics, recycled post-consumer plastic in housing and a 49 per cent overall reduction of CO2e.
Cat-R
NVC Lighting
The Cat-R addresses the waste issues of Cat A fit-outs, by having a light engine module that can be endlessly replaced, potentially lasting the entire lifetime of the building. NVC says that when installed at the Cat A phase and the light engine module replaced at the Cat B fit-out the CO₂ emissions will be reduced by more than 50 per cent compared to complete luminaire replacement.
Lacrimosa Pro
LumiAdd
The Lacrimosa Pro, a sculptural 3D-printed pendant inspired by an asymmetric ‘twisted’ teardrop form, is made using a fully non planar 3D printing process—where the print head moves continuously across three axes—to achieves a seamless, fluid form that defies typical layer based constraints.
Bottom row, left to right:
Timba
LTS
The Timba pendant features a linear body produced from untreated regional ash wood. The luminaire housing is crafted from solid ash sourced from certified sustainable forestry in southern Germany. By sourcing locally, the company reduces transport emissions and supports regional supply chains.
Puzzle
Signify
The Puzzle is a 3D-printed linear luminaire for the workplace made from 75 per cent recycled PET. The latter material comprises post-consumer water bottles, carpets, polyester clothing and spectacles. It’s aimed at task lighting at desks, meeting rooms and other office environments. It’s available in a 4- and 5-feet linear pendant size and designed to give a soft seamless glow that helps to improve focus while working.
i10 G2
Glamox
The i10 G2 consumes 20 per cent less electricity than its first-generation LED predecessor but also uses recycled materials in its construction and packaging. The second-generation i10 G2 is a family of durable luminaires designed with sustainability and circular economy principles in mind, says Glamox. It uses 26 per cent less material than the first generation and features 100 per cent post-recycled plastics in its end caps and 20 per cent recycled steel in its body.
