Entry Description

CATIRPEL is a flexible modular outdoor system designed for landscape and architectural applications that require great installation flexibility and accurate light control. Designed to enhance nature, CATIRPEL is ideal for irregular curved or undulating surfaces. The ball joint system allows for each luminaire module to be freely aimed and secured to a precise position with a locking screw. Infinite configurations, infinite possibilities.

CATIRPEL can be easily be integrated into any environment and provides individual control of each luminaire module. The ball joint system allows for each luminaire module to be freely aimed and secured to a precise position with a locking screw. CATIRPEL can be installed directly to the mounting surface or used with optional mounting accessories for trees, landscape, and surface installations.

This modular system is available in single, triple, or quintet module configurations. Each module is available as OUT or IN/OUT cable configurations, equipped with IP68 Plug’n’Play connectors for easy installation in exterior or interior applications. With flexibility in the spherical joints, there are infinite possibilities for installation. Curving around branches, trunks, cylindrical structures and architectural details with ease. CATIRPEL is the ideal solution for difficult applications.

Sustainability Approach

“Illuminating nature’s harmony; creating an organic light fixture that blends seamlessly with the world. To have the light source be unknown and shine from within the object itself. Allowing for the light and object to be fused as one. The CATIRPEL morphs into the form of a caterpillar in a tree, our fixtures weave into the surroundings, casting an enchanting spell of versatility.” – Hervé Descottes, L'Observatoire International.

CATIRPEL was designed for landscape and architectural applications that require installation flexibility and accurate light control. The modular system was designed to allow for each module to be individually aimed and locked in place and comes with a variety of mounting accessories to help address multiple applications:
