Elle is a streamlined and elegant lighting instrument defined by its unique concave form, designed to blend seamlessly into architectural environments while delivering soft, uniform illumination. This minimalist luminaire stands apart with its patent-pending Curved Luminous Surface (CLS Optic™), a groundbreaking lightguide technology that enables Elle to emit diffuse yet functional light over a wide surface area. The result is a visually comfortable glow that enhances both ceilings and perimeter walls, introducing vertical design interest and elevating the overall spatial experience.
With Elle, the lens is the light. Unlike conventional luminaires that rely on visible LED points or harsh reflectors, Elle's curved lens becomes a luminous surface, casting softly feathered light with low glare and superior visual comfort. This design innovation creates a more pleasant lighting experience while allowing Elle to cover more surface area than similar-sized luminaires. The fluid form and softly lit profile offer a sculptural quality, making Elle ideal for continuous runs throughout spaces like corridors, reception areas, and architectural transitions.
Designed with versatility in mind, Elle is available in several mounting styles, including surface, wall, and pendant versions. It can be specified in direct or direct-indirect distributions to meet the functional needs of various applications. The luminaire’s discreet housing allows the curved lens to take center stage, emphasizing its architectural integration and aesthetic value. Its smooth profile and hairline joints make it an attractive solution for projects seeking visual harmony and lighting that complements the built environment.
Elle offers a choice of end caps, including flat and step options, adding to its flexibility in both form and function. Designed to echo architectural moldings at the ceiling line, Elle enhances visual transitions and can be used to highlight features such as doorways, alcoves, or columns. Whether mounted at 45° or 90°, placed in a corner, or installed as a continuous line of light, Elle provides design consistency and subtle architectural emphasis.
Technology underpins Elle's performance, with the CLS Optic™ delivering glare-free light that’s easy on the eyes and visually engaging. Engineered for ease of installation and serviceability, Elle is compatible with the Axis InstaHinge™ system—an innovative mounting solution that simplifies wall-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall configurations. The rail system compensates for wall bevels and ensures secure installation while allowing convenient access for maintenance.
Elle is offered in a range of color temperatures, including 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K, and features a durable polycarbonate lens. Its compact integral mini driver keeps the profile sleek and clean, supporting the luminaire’s unobtrusive presence in a space. As a versatile architectural lighting solution, Elle delivers form, function, and flexibility—an elegant fusion of technology and design that enhances a broad spectrum of environments.
