Pose® and Pose Knife Edge redefine architectural lighting by combining superior aesthetics, quality performance, and exceptional versatility in a minimalist linear form. Designed to deliver the beauty and benefits of true asymmetric lighting without the need for angled optics or bulky mounting hardware, Pose introduces new creative opportunities across a wide variety of applications. Whether used in long ribbon-like runs or to create elegant, cove-less coves, the Pose family transforms spaces with sleek, streamlined illumination. The Pose BC version is also available specifically for healthcare environments.
At the heart of Pose’s performance is its patented SurroundLite® asymmetric optic, engineered for outstanding visual comfort, soft contrast, and high efficiency. A Lambertian optic option is also available, offering a gentle, diffused glow ideal for reducing visual harshness. Users can choose between one or two illuminated sides and two optic types, yielding a total of eight configuration combinations for maximum design flexibility. The luminaire’s smooth, pixelation-free lens contributes to a clean aesthetic, while its lightweight aluminum construction enhances its floating appearance.
Pose offers extraordinary versatility in mounting and design. With two optics, up to two illuminated sides, and three mounting planes—Step, Flat, and Right Angle—Pose can be installed with the driver compartment pointing up or down, horizontally or vertically. This flexibility allows for continuous runs, creative patterns, corner configurations, or recessed cove lighting. Pose Wall Patterns enable unique architectural compositions using solid, non-luminous inner and outer corners, enhancing spatial geometry and rhythm.
Pose Knife Edge and Knife Edge DI expand this concept even further by eliminating the need for built coves altogether. Featuring the smallest knife-edge profile in the lighting industry, the luminaire is crafted from a single extrusion with an asymmetric optic on the step side and a clean, solid bottom on the flat side. The Knife Edge DI version adds multiple direct/indirect lighting options in individual fixtures or continuous systems without corners. These models offer a streamlined alternative for achieving elegant cove-like effects, reducing installation time, material use, and construction complexity.
From its clean lines and high-end finishes to its patented optics and mounting freedom, Pose® is a flexible and elegant lighting solution that adapts to nearly any architectural context. Whether you are designing for residential, commercial, or healthcare spaces, Pose enables precise, expressive, and highly efficient illumination that elevates both form and function.
