View Mini

A re-scaled form of the minimalist architectural aesthetic of the original View suspended luminaire series that is achieved through continued advancement in optics technology, View Mini blends seamlessly with architecture.

With a form only 3.5” in height, View Mini offers exceptional performance for general ambient illumination applications. Appearing like a floating fenestration that remains transparent even when illuminated, the luminaire’s Anidolic-Extraction optical technology provides precisely controlled distributions with no view of the source, delivering exceptional visual comfort and wide on-center spacing of up to 15ft on center, 35 fc at 0.4 W/ft2.

With no electrical connections at fixture joints required, View Mini can be installed as an independent pendant or as a continuous lighting system with virtually seamless runs.

A choice of various output and distribution options allows View Mini to be used as a lighting solution in various environments and conditions. In addition, View Mini is also available with an independent up-down lighting control option that provides fully dimmable or switchable independent control of the upper and lower hemispherical distributions.

Hyphen

Hyphen carries on the small-scale aesthetics and ultra-narrow optics of Fluxwerx Portal and Lines luminaire families. Embodied in discrete 10″ or 20″ forms with an ultra-narrow, linear aesthetic, Hyphen delineates a dashed path. Available in recessed and surface, and fixed and adjustable versions, Hyphen transcends traditional general area illumination and downlighting with its unique options and exceptional visual comfort.

Hyphen is available in three high performance distributions—65° Wide, 45° Medium and a 25°x75° Narrow Ellipse. Available in a breadth of length, optical, mounting and distribution options, there is an application-based solution for every need.

The Hyphen collection of luminaires offers four distinct optical options: Single optics in 10 and 20 inch lengths, and for twice the output, Twin optics—also in 10 and 20 inch lengths.

Designed to integrate into any plenum substrate with a minimum depth of ½” and a maximum depth of 1.25”, Hyphen Recessed can be chosen in either Trim or Trimless fixed variants and an adjustable version delivering a 60° lateral range of motion. No matter which you choose, you’re never locked in.

Hyphen Surface goes even further. Single and Twin Optic Hyphen Surface feature minimalist aesthetics and unique and specific functional forms, both delivering 90° vertical-motion and 360° horizontal rotational adjustability.

A pure synthesis of design and architecture, Hyphen is engineered to include exceptional performance, comfort and value—without compromise.

About the iF DESIGN AWARD:

For 68 years, the iF DESIGN AWARD has been recognized as an arbiter of quality for exceptional design. The iF label is renowned worldwide for outstanding design services, and the iF DESIGN AWARD is one of the most important design prizes in the world. Submissions are awarded in the following disciplines: Product, Packaging, Communication and Service Design, Architecture and Interior Architecture as well as Professional Concepts.

The LIT Lighting Design Awards and The Architectural Products Magazine have both selected Fluxwerx Hyphen family of luminaires as the winner in their respective Lighting Product Design categories. A recipient of Red Dot 2023 product design award in the Lighting category, Hyphen transcends traditional general area illumination and downlighting with its unique options and exceptional visual comfort.

Embodied in discrete 10″ or 20″ forms with an ultra-narrow, linear aesthetic, Hyphen is available in recessed and surface mount in both fixed and adjustable versions. Used on its own or coordinated, Hyphen is the complementary continuation of the ultra-narrow 0.71″ optical aesthetic of Fluxwerx Portal and Lines families. Together, these luminaire families present a comprehensive collection of aesthetically aligned Fluxwerx solutions.

It is our goal to deliver products with meaningful differentiation for the lighting community by merging application based optics with modern industrial design. Hyphen pushes the boundaries of scale in an architectural design with no compromise in lighting performance and we are honored that it is being recognized with these prestigious awards.
