Be Excellence / Do Your Best / Have Everything

We have the ability to harness light

 

As architects and designers, we have the power to create new spatial experiences

by illuminating traditionally opaque forms, planes and architectural elements. We

can add depth and dimension to spaces, redefining and shaping experiences. We

continue to bring innovative translucent materials to the built environment – merging

light and form, breaking new grounds.

 

Dream, design and execute amazing projects defined by light. In the following

pages, explore the possibilities, learn basic lighting techniques, increase energy

efficiency and discover the power of Luxface translucent materials.

 

Light & Shadow

The signature translucency of Ecoresin panels transforms interior spaces. Use the

customizability of Ecoresin to alter color, texture and finish, which in turn

refines light transmission and diffusion.

 

Ceiling Features

Expansive spaces often call for large, illustrious features. Work with Luxface Architecture

to create complex installations that require advanced material expertise includingthe following:

digital modeling, geometry rationalizing, prototyping and more.

 

AN EVEN GLOW

Hot striping can enhance or detract from the aesthetic intent. Obtain an even glow by mounting

the lights the appropriate distance from the material and specifying the correct diffusing interlay.

 

Capture Light

Acrylic resin is a monolithic material that captures the light and emits a soft, luxurious glow.

Use illuminated Acrylic resin to create structural horizontal planes that float with ethereal grace.

 

LIGHTING CHROMA

Frontlight material from above or backlight below at 90 degrees to the surface for a scattering and

illuminating effect. With these techniques, Luxface Acrylic resin grabs the light and appears as art

becoming the feature in a space.

 

The Right Material For Your Application

Luxface offers multiple material platforms to meet your specific aestheticand performance requirements.

Whithin each platform, you can specify thetranslucency for your installation.

 

DAYLIGHT SPACE

To appreciate illuminated installations in a day-lit space there needs to be a significant

contrast from the surrounding environment. Cast light three times brighter than the light

designed for the evening environment. If this intensity is not achievable, try colored lights

for a more noticeable effect.

 

Grazing Texture

Ecoresin panels offers embossed textures with eye-catching light refraction. Add depth

and drama to your space by grazing light across these dynamic surfaces.

Filter Through Organics

Create the unexpected with raw organic elements encapsulated in glowing translucent resin.

Backlit organic interlayers provide a dramatic contrast for lightbox features.

 

OPTIMUM OPACITY

Use Phantom or Ghost with organic interlayers in Ecoresin panels to optimize light diffusion and create a warm soft glow.

 

Construct Light

Specify Luxface Fabrication to create striking lightboxes and glowing structures. From

heat-formed curves to precise mitered corners, Luxface Fabrication offers expertise to

make your design intent a reality

 

Create Color with Light

Create a dramatic focal point with an illuminated sculpture. Breath vibrant energy

with a light changing effect.

 

LIGHT TO COLOR

Use colored LED lights with white or neutral materials to add color that can be modified

or programmed to change over time. Light can sync with musical beats and color

changes can express interior themes.

 

LIGHT FOR COLOR

To intensify the hue of the material use matching color tinted lights.

Lighting Luxface Material

The following factors will infl uence the fi nal illuminated material appearance. Draw from these options individually or

collectively to create your signature look.

 

MATERIAL FORM & SHAPE

FLAT TO CONTOURED; ORGANIC COMPLEX  CURVES TO STRUCTURED LINE BENDS

Light will travel within these shapes creating relational patterns of light and shadow.

 

COLORED LIGHT

Red, Green and Blue Lights

Match the light color to the material color to achieve a rich effect. Combine hues for new colors.

Material Type

 

MATERIAL OPACITY

Translucent To Opaque Light remains captured within more opaque material, creating a richer effect.

 

MATERIAL GAUGE

Thin To Thickness, The thicker the gauge, the brighter the material will appear.

 

ECORESIN INTERLAYERS

Fabric, Film, Object, Organic

Interlayers reflect, absorb and refract the light creating unimaginable effects. Test lighting to determine case specific results.

FINISH

Patent, Patina, Sandstone, Or Embossed

The more texture the brighter the material surface.
