by Shane Henson — September 21, 2011—Novaled AG, a provider of OLED technologies and specific organic materials, recently unveiled the world’s latest in avant garde lighting—unique luxury light-art masterpieces hand-crafted from innovative high-tech light sources and high-edge materials. These limited-edition luminaires, which will be sold under the brand name Liternity, will likely be of interest to facilities managers concerned with procuring lighting for rooms that not only increases visibility but is pleasing to the eye as well.
The luminaires combine advanced OLED technologies just a few nanometers thick and exotic high-end materials to enable completely new and imaginative ways of designing with light in ultra-flat form factors. Gerd Guenther, chief marketing officer at Novaled, said, “Each unique state-of-the-art light piece reflects stunning artistry never before seen, and is truly a rare and beautiful art masterpiece.”
The first product of the Liternity series, a new desk lamp named Victory, also was introduced. It is the world’s first luminaire to showcase OLED lighting in an ultra-thin, ultra-strong carbon-fabric base. The desk lamp, 35 cm high and 40 cm deep, sports a dynamic silhouette from every perspective, according to Novaled. Its infamous “V for victory” design includes two arms with four embedded ultra-flat OLEDs that provide pleasant, diffuse light over the entire surface. Several layers of clear lacquer allow a fascinating 3D impression of the accurate work deep inside done by a leading carbon manufacturer. Very lightweight and nearly indestructible carbon material originally developed for aerospace applications forms an open filigree-like lamp base that adds flexibility, beauty and stability. The highly-polished “Victory” units come in a choice of colors and are available now through selected retailers in Europe, the USA and UAE. Custom-made versions also can be requested.
