With intuitive installation and seamless connectivity, Tube Free can be composed individually or in complex configurations, its subtle presence defining balanced scenes through vertical lines, essential volumes and light.Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos.The Tube collection consists of a network of slender black tubes that can be arranged freely to channel light towards different shades. Rather than downplaying their practicality, these networks embrace function as a defining aesthetic. Tube Free releases the pendant from its point of connection, separating the tube from the ceiling by a fine black cable. The result is a more fluid, refined expression. When composed across a space, the arrangement of multiple tubes of equal or varying heights creates a lightweight structure, a delicate language of lines and volumes. Composing Pendants guarantees easy installation, simple maintenance and seamless integration, empowering designers to create personalised compositions adapted to specific spatial needs. Tube Free can function as a single fixture, casting focused illumination on a specific area, or as part of a more extensive arrangement. Suspended at varying heights, harmonious groupings of shades in two distinct diameters introduce a subtle sense of rhythm and movement. Configurations unfold as fluid, single-stroke line drawings, connecting multiple points of light. A single luminaire can extend independently through space, or multiple fixtures can be suspended from a single electrical point, maintaining a clean, unified presence. The cables can be drawn across walls and ceilings, extending each composition according to the designer’s vision. For suspended ceilings, remote and built-in fittings enhance the visual lightness of the collection by ensuring a pure, uncluttered canopy. Remote Built-in Remote (Ø 3 or 6 cm) Built-in (Ø 8 cm) For more complex architectural environments, surface and free-wire connections enable individual and cluster arrangements, ensuring the collection adapts to any space while amplifying its compositional potential. Surface Free Wire A range of colours allows for expressive compositions while preserving a refined, understated look. Rooted in neutral and earthy tones, a versatile palette of soft greys, neutral beige, crisp white, and warm terra red introduce subtle nuances that reflect the tonal shifts of day into night. Tube Free lends itself naturally to workspaces, hospitality settings, and high-ceilinged commercial and public spaces. In an open-plan lobby, a constellation of warm red pendants creates a distinctive focal point, inviting guests to mingle underneath. Branching out from a free-wire connection, a network of cables extends across the ceiling, falling at balanced intervals to brighten a conference room with a set of sober beige shades. Suspended above a stairwell, a play of diameters and colours provides visual hierarchy, defining different scenes within the space. The collection is also suited to residential projects where precision and clarity are sought. Over a dining table, a trio of asymmetrical pendants in neutral shades creates a subdued, elegant look. For a more luxurious setting, a linear arrangement of three red pendants, perfectly aligned, casts an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy. Simple in essence yet highly versatile, Tube Free adapts to every unique use and mood. Providing clarity and balance, it responds to different contexts with a quiet elegance that is both sober and expressive. Within the Composing Pendants system, the series becomes a flexible tool for creating coherent lighting structures, where formal simplicity gives rise to free-form compositions tailored to each project.
