Trick
The Trick collection was created in response to the changes in everyday life that began in 2020, when the home suddenly became an office, restaurant, leisure space, and place for exercise at the same time. The main idea of the project is to let users quickly change the lighting zones of a space without rearranging the furniture. Using magnetic connections, the luminaire transforms from a source of general diffused illumination into directional functional light for a workspace, dining table, or another selected area.
The circle — one of the most recognizable symbols of light — became the basis of the design. It is composed of individual arcs, referring to the rhythm of architectural arches that have been used for centuries in architecture and decorative arts.
Each arc is a metal profile containing an integrated LED strip and a matte acrylic diffuser. The diffuser conceals the individual LEDs and creates soft, even illumination.
Magnets are positioned at the ends of the arcs. When the elements are connected, they form a circle and provide general diffused lighting. With a few simple movements, the arcs can be separated and fixed magnetically to the body of the luminaire, creating a new composition with a more directional luminous flux.
This transformation allows one luminaire to support different everyday scenarios. A space can quickly be adapted for remote work, dinner with guests, relaxation, or other activities without changing the permanent arrangement of the interior.
The same principle can be applied to public spaces. In a café, for example, the lighting can be adapted when several tables are joined together, while in an office the lighting zones can change according to the current organization of workspaces.
The magnetic system makes transformation not only functional but also tactile. Users interact directly with the luminaire by joining and separating its components. The familiar sensation of magnetic attraction turns the adjustment of light into a simple and emotionally intuitive gesture.
Trick combines human-centered design, transformation, and contemporary LED technology. A single object can change not only its own form and lighting characteristics, but also the functional perception of the surrounding space.
