26/07/2022 - The immediacy and simplicity of the punctuation symbol becomes a concept for Platek’s new solution: the new series of DOT outdoor lamps is born, design by Jan Van Lierde.
 
Jan Van Lierde, architect and lighting designer, imagined a light fixture that could express his vision of light, considered in all its forms as a material with which to construct architecture. The video interview by Archiproducts. 
 

 
The temporal maturation of the new outdoor lighting concept was generated by a prototype in the form of a small 3D printed “pill”. Hence the development of the lighting fixture: it is precisely the small size of the housing which defines the vitality of a product to be inserted amongst the greenery of a garden or terrace.

An imperceptible presence, which, thanks to its discrete form and finish, remains so, almost camouflaged, even once lit when darkness falls. The source of the light beam disappears in the recessed optics, yet thanks to the aluminium housing and LED technology, also strongly illuminates.

A pragmatic approach to managing this luminaire led to the design of a picket support for insertion directly in the ground, and an invisible plug and play wiring system without the need for any technical intervention: the mobility of the fixture therefore allows the scenic lighting effect to be changed at will, be it to accentuate blooming flowers, foliage, or a natural detail. 
 
Elegance in simplicity, timeless lines and materials; an unequivocal message that places the relationship with nature and the possibility to enjoy its beauty at the centre of a high-quality outdoor project.
