Lichtvizier
Light objects where poetry, colour and space come together. Each piece is unique, built around a poem and tuned to your place.
The story
Lichtvizier grew out of research into social safety in public space.
The project began in the Glazen Straatje in Ghent, a place where visibility, vulnerability and safety meet. From it came a light poem, written by Bieke Vandewalle and Alanis Blondeel, that forms the basis of every object.
Light becomes more than illumination: it carries a text, a thought, an atmosphere. A Lichtvizier brings that poetry into your own space.
How does it work?
Fragment
You choose a fragment of text from the poem that carries meaning for you. This can be personal, architectural or conceptual.
Size
Which size best suits the space? 120 or 160 cm.
Colour
The colour sets the character of the space.
Placement
Do you want to move it around regularly (freestanding) or give it a fixed spot? (pendant)
For interiors, architecture and people who want more than lighting.
Sustainable design
The plexiglass is made from 100% recycled plastic produced by GreenCast. On top of that, the whole fixture is easy to separate into its pure materials, which makes recycling straightforward.
Made to measure
You choose which fragment of the poem you want to light up. You can also pick from two sizes (120 cm / 160 cm) and four colours, and decide whether you want the fixture freestanding or suspended.
Locally produced
The plexiglass is sourced in the Netherlands and produced locally here in East Flanders together with Ledlab. With every LichtVizier you get a 3 year warranty, should anything go wrong with the fixture over time.
Unique piece
Because the fixture is made to measure, you own a "one of a kind piece". And it is not standard lighting: you buy art, with a story behind it.
The light poem
Hoe jij mijn naam scandeerten me binnen loenstje verleden laat lezenruimtes en beelden met fantasie buigt tot zinnen waarmee je me wilt winnenHoe jij met gestreelde kwastenje grijsheid probeert te verkastenmaar soms het grauwe toch nog overneemtmij zo met blote oog van je vervreemdtdoor nachtsporen die braken, avondvlinders die kraken bij vuurwerk van rood neonlichtHoe ik nu zomers gerokt met fel gelakte tenen door je blikkende straten danswant er zit muziek in je benenen jij me vraagt: "maak ik een kans?"
Composed by Bieke Vandewalle & Alanis Blondeel
