Lodes – Map
(Italy) – Following its preview at Euroluce in April, Lodes modular lighting system, Map, is now avabilble to the market.
Developed in partnership with Berlin-based studio Geckler Michels, Map strikes a balance between aesthetics with advanced lighting performance. The design’s visual element is a fabric tape, stretched between various modules, which powers the entire system and offers multiple compositional options. Like a map that reconfigures space and constellations, Map enables free positioning of lights, creating rhythms and reanimations for any environment.
Ideal for spaces with a single power source, Map offers a solution for ceiling and wall applications, enabling customisable configurations that go beyond traditional track lighting or integrated LED strip systems. The system’s versatility makes it suitable for environments with architectural constraints, such as low ceilings or the lack of central lighting points, ensuring optimal light distribution without major structural alterations.
The ribbon, available in an eight-metre reel and five centimetres in height, is stretched between various lighting points, providing continuous power even without additional ceiling or wall power sources. Each module, measuring 130mm in diameter and 63mm in height, features a PMMA lens offered in multiple options to meet different lighting needs, from directional illumination to diffused ambient effects. Once the lens is fitted, the module is magnetically sealed for a seamless finish.
Reflecting on the new collaboration, Lodes Managing Director Massimiliano Tosetto comments: “Map was conceived to meet the need for a decorative electrified track, offering lighting designers unprecedented design flexibility. Whether for residential spaces or commercial projects, Map provides a bespoke solution that empowers designers to create the ideal configuration for their needs, defining the space through a distinctive visual language.
