When planning an architectural and interior design project, a large number of elements must be taken into account to achieve the best result, among them, lighting is one of the most important.
Among all the possibilities and types of luminaires that exist in lighting, the linear luminaire is one of the most recurrent typologies among architects and interior designers in any type of space.
Why is it a favorite? They are very versatile pieces that adapt to very diverse spaces and also offer a continuous, homogeneous and comfortable light avoiding annoying glare or shadows.
Within the wide portfolio of Faro Barcelona designs, here we recommend 5 linear luminaires to illuminate any type of space and make your project a success.
1. NESO
The NESO linear luminaire is a system of magnetic rails that allows to combine different types of luminaires for both general lighting and accent lighting. It integrates perfectly into the architecture and can be installed on ceiling or wall (recessed, suspended or surface mounted rails) to make all the desired combinations.
In addition, thanks to the magnet system, it is very easy to add luminaires or change their position. The NESO system has 5 different luminaire designs to integrate into the rails:
- NESO point: Fixed accent luminaire with two degrees of opening and three sizes available.
- NESO line: Diffused general lighting luminaire.
- NESO top: Suspension accent luminaire.
- NESO unik: Decorative general lighting luminaire.
- NESO hole: Accent oriented accent luminaire.
The entire NESO system is available to be controlled with DALI system that allows dimming of the light intensity.
2. VIA
VIA is a linear luminaire designed by FARO Barcelona available for recessed, surface, and suspended installation. Thanks to its accessories, it allows creating continuous lines of light.
In addition, it is a perfect lighting solution for work areas in hotels and offices, as it offers visual comfort thanks to its diffuser that softens the light.
It is compatible with the DALI system for a domotic control of the light and has a prismatic diffuser accessory to direct the light.
3. FONOVIA
FONOVIA is a concept of linear suspended light that allows a double functionality:
- To create moments of concentration thanks to its fabric with sound-absorbing properties.
- To illuminate while ensuring the comfort and well-being of people thanks to the soft light generated by the diffuser.
- It accompanies moments of concentration and privacy and its sustainable recycled PET fabric favors acoustic absorption.
It is an ideal luminaire for crowded spaces and meeting rooms. It is available in 2 standard sizes and there is also the possibility of creating a custom length by increasing the number of panels.
4. SCUBA
The SCUBA model is an industrial-style linear surface and pendant luminaire made of stainless steel and available in two sizes (60 and 120 cm). Although it is a luminaire designed for outdoor use with IP66, it also adapts perfectly to a wide variety of indoor spaces. This linear luminaire is available in two versions: surface and suspension.
5. LED strips
The LED strips is a linear luminaire that adapts to any shape and place. The small size of these luminaires makes them perfect for framing spaces and illuminating indirectly, being incorporated behind architectural and design details such as curtains or curtain rails.
LED strips are one of the main protagonists in architectural and interior design projects, and are already a real trend that will undoubtedly continue in the coming years.
Linear LED luminaires are timeless and highly versatile elements. Their way of lighting can be adapted to different styles, spaces and shapes, being able to be both a protagonist element and a part of the decoration that is fully integrated into a space.
The possibility of using a linear luminaire with different light temperatures, and the discreet designs and sizes available, make it possible for this lighting to be perfectly integrated into the architecture and create all kinds of environments.
