Tesel array at night: seven hexagonal tiles, the centre one lit warm

Doc 01 · Product overview

Sunlight-quality light, engineered for architecture.

10 CH · 440–750 NM · 228 MM FLAT-TO-FLAT

Sunlight, composed.

Ten channels · 440–750 nm

How it works

One module. Any composition.

A flat-top hexagon in machined aluminum, with a precision glass optic.

Tiles connect to each other magnetically, and the magnets do the aligning. Easy to install, easy to rearrange.

Arrays grow along any edge. Start with a cluster, extend a run, open a void in the center.

Add or reposition tiles after handover without touching the ceiling or the wall finish.

Spectral quality

Engineered to render like daylight.

Most white light is built from a few channels, which leaves gaps across the spectrum. Tesel uses a ten channel spectral engine to fill in that curve, so color is rendered rather than approximated.

The experience

Color and sunlight in one fixture.

Art reads as intended.

Pigment, glaze and patina hold their true color. Nothing flattens, nothing shifts as the light warms through the day.

Materials show their depth.

Walnut, travertine, brushed brass and raw wool keep the grain and warmth they have in daylight.

Skin looks like skin.

People read warm and even across a room, the way they do outdoors.

Applications

Made for spaces that are looked at closely.

nanometer range: 440–750
mm flat-to-flat: 228

Ten independent channels, so the shape of the spectrum is a design decision rather than a bin code. Coverage from deep blue to far red, past the point the eye can follow, so the reds in wood, skin, and textile hold instead of going flat. One tile size, and any array that tiles a plane.

Early access

Two conversations. One request away.

We are working with a small group of lighting designers, architects and specifiers ahead of launch. Tell us about the space and we will be in touch.

We will only use this to talk to you about your project.

Every request is reviewed personally before anything is sent.
