A Trick of the Light

The innovative Trick lighting system from iGuzzini gives designers a three-dimensional lighting game to play.

A Trick of the Light

November 11th, 2015


Know for their specialisation for lighting in commercial and multi-residential spaces, iGuzzini has released what is perhaps their most innovative item yeah, the Trick lighting system.

Trick is an exceptionally clever lighting system that effectively plays three-dimensional games with the space its in. Offering the designer both architectural and artistic license, Trick’s secret comes in its toroidal nano-prismatic lens, which creates three different effects, that of the light blade, the radial and the washer. Through embracing these, users can effectively be designing with light and shadow.

Of Trick, lighting designer and IES NSW Awards 2015 judge, Mark Elliott, says “In terms of the magic of light and how light can reinforce the form of a space, Trick is an excellent example which has so many applications in sculpting facades, structures and volumes, through the illumination of window reveals and columns, as well as artistic effects both internally and externally.”
