Algæ

Some objects don’t just illuminate: they create atmospheres. Algæ is born from this idea. A lighting fixture that proposes a different way of understanding light: not as a function, but as a sensory experience. It invites you to slow down and feel the interaction between light and material.
Algæ — When Light Touches Matter

The material

At the heart of Algæ is Algaeskin, a living biomaterial made 100% from algae. Its production is sustainable, valuing bio-residues and generating no waste, using natural dyes and following a zero-waste philosophy. Algaeskin is flexible, translucent, durable, antibacterial, and biodegradable. A material that breathes, softly filters light, and offers an organic beauty that drives responsible design.

Inspired by luminaires designed for unique spaces — museums, exhibitions, installations — Algæ seeks to bring that artistic experience into an everyday object without losing its emotional power. The result is a modular, lightweight piece that allows playing with forms, scaling presence, and adapting to the space.

The aluminum structure and efficient LED technology serve as a silent support. Here, light does not dominate: it accompanies, highlights, caresses. The material takes center stage. A subtle dialogue between the natural and the technical, between craftsmanship and reproducibility. Designed to integrate gently, Algæ’s modularity allows it to be configured in multiple forms — pendant lamp, wall panel, or linear structure — easily adapting to each space and need. A versatile luminaire that grows and transforms with its environment.

Beyond words, Algæ is built on responsible logic. The biomaterial is produced without waste, from bio-algae and natural dyes. Every design decision — from materials to assembly — seeks to reduce impact and increase durability. Because good design is also about caring for the world we inhabit.
