The basic idea of the arch. Marc Anderson is fairly straightforward: combine wall panels and lighting.
This is a technique that is used often but mostly where the light is used as a highlight or accent, but the intention of this project is slightly different: is to make a functional fusion between a decorative wall panel and lamp. In this project, the wall panels actually become illumination in a way that there is a true fusion between two distinct typologies.

The principal quality of the system is a blurred reading of the object typology: is it lighting or wall panelling?

The varying compositions activate and build the space. It’s a new way of thinking about and using a piece of furniture. For instance, you can create a composition on the wall of a room that can also extend to the ceiling and then be interrupted and resumed in another part of the space.

This system lends itself to both domestic and contract applications (hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, theatres, public spaces...) because of its flexibility and strong materiality.
