Lean Lines: Framing Spaces with Plusminus

In order to delineate a particular activity zone or scene, a designer relies on a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary elements coming together as a whole – volumes, facades, surfaces, textures, colours, objects, light and acoustics. Plusminus introduces masterful new ways to capture and manipulate these elements, framing multiple volumes of different dimensions to create a range of atmospheres within a single space.

Tracing a slender outline, the fabric belt outlines a contained area within an open layout, defining an interior with illuminated transverse trajectories. It can be drawn out to frame a meeting point or to determine multiple workstations, as well as spotlighting important features, such as artwork or a secluded corner. Designed to offer both architectural and decorative lighting effects, luminaires can be positioned at any point within a space, giving the designer total freedom of composition and the tools to generate a sense of wellbeing no matter what the intended use.

Stretching from wall to wall Plusminus creates a false ceiling, reducing a room’s volume and bringing light closer to the desired area of activity. Its soothing straight lines will adapt to even the most modest of interior environments, while kinetic criss-crossed and zig-zagged configurations will create an intriguing visual language of their own.

The inherent adaptability of Plusminus provides the perfect solution for spaces that feature special architectural characteristics, such as a vaulted ceiling or statement exposed brickwork. An invisible tensor wire introduces an air of weightlessness, lifting or lowering the belt to create varying degrees of tension and allowing the designer to indulge in complex compositions and breathtaking arrangements. Moreover, Plusminus’ single point of connection and innovative click and connect system means they can work on an immense scale, delineating volumes from ground level right up to ceiling height.
