Entry DescriptionMicrogroove was created to transform light into an essential gesture. Its design is subtle in presence but remarkable in how it shapes surfaces and volumes. The fluted detailing along its body is more than an aesthetic feature: it highlights the delicate 33 mm profile and gives the fixture a tactile, almost architectural identity.
As a complete family, Microgroove adapts seamlessly to any context while maintaining a cohesive design language. In pendant form, it conveys a sense of lightness; as a projector or semi-recessed fixture, it offers flexibility in orientation and endless compositional possibilities; in its system configuration, it reaches its most innovative expression, using the metal structure itself as a conductor for extra-low voltage. This approach removes visible wiring and creates pure, continuous lines, harmonizing technical precision with elegant form.
The lighting experience is equally refined: with 20°, 40°, and 60° beam options, and exceptional color rendering quality, Microgroove is perfect for applications ranging from subtle accents to comprehensive illumination. Fully dimmable via Triac or DALI, it provides complete control over the atmosphere. More than a product, Microgroove is a tool for expression: essential in form, meticulous in engineering, and open to diverse architectural interpretations.
Sustainability ApproachThe Microgroove embodies sustainability in three dimensions.
In terms of climate action, its high-efficiency LED module (9.5 W for up to 628 lm) delivers outstanding luminous performance with low energy consumption, reducing emissions throughout its entire lifespan.
Regarding the circular economy, the luminaire is designed for easy disassembly and material separation, featuring a durable housing and replaceable modules. This approach extends the product’s life cycle and prevents full disposal, while customization in colors and versions enhances its aesthetic and functional longevity.
In governance, it reflects established sustainable practices, including the use of recycled resins and partnerships with cooperatives that redirect tons of plastic for reuse every year.
Microgroove thus combines design and responsibility, illuminating spaces with care and attention to detail.
