Florent Coirier & Stig Myler
Each designer we work with brings a unique blend of style and vision to our collection. So, we want to share with you stories of collaboration. What goes on in the minds of designers during the creation process, and how our R&D team makes their vision come to life.
A light by design and engineering
Designers Florent Coirier and Stig Myler talk about how their ideas intertwined and how Geometry came to be. A pendant evoking weightlessness, Geometry combines shapes and contrasts, and a little bit of mystery. Read how it started and how it evolved with the expertise of Modular Lighting Instruments to its final design.
An international collective
It’s easy to say Geometry is the child of an international team. Here we have Florent hailing from France, Stig representing Denmark, designing both for a Belgian brand. Stig came to us with a circle and the idea of rotation, and Florent added a square and rectangular shape. But both had a common vision…
Stig Myler, a door between two worlds
An avid believer in how the quality of light has an impact on our well-being, Stig thought of a circular frame for Geometry. He got the idea that the LED panel would rotate in the frame and create different light effects. What makes Geometry so special for him is its expression of being dynamic, although it is simply floating in the air. He also loves that its light can divide a space in two parts, while leaving a door open between them.
Lighting design is not just designing luminaires. It also involves the quality of light and how artificial light defines the spaces we live in - both indoor and outdoor. Stig Myler, Product Designer
Florent Coirier, a vocabulary of shapes
Florent’s contribution to the design demonstrates his love of the sky and stars, and of the stories they tell. He loves that the design is so light, it’s as if it disappears into space. For him, Geometry shows a balance between minimalism and the importance of the quality of light. At the same time, it experiments with the contrast of black and white, light being off and on.
I wanted to use shapes and play with them. How a square frame can play with a round panel. I wanted to create a good balance between these two geometrical shapes. That’s why I added a rectangle shape as well, next to the square. Florent Coirier, Product Designer
Best of both
As designing something pure, minimalistic and geometric is in Florent’s DNA, one can see how it fits perfectly with Stig’s purpose of designing lighting that improves well-being. The dialogue of shapes, the thinness of the design, are the perfect stage for showing nothing but pure, beautiful light. “It’s not surprising that someone had a similar idea. It is a good idea to maximise the design with the common strong points,” shares Florent.

Geometry
Geometry is a pendant luminaire that offers general lighting. Its light panel can pivot 360° around an axis, hidden by a frame that's either circular or square. The beauty of this full rotation is that you can go from direct to indirect light in one single flip. A rectangular frame holding two panels will please those who long for twinning with light.
