The New Era of Lighting: Introducing Plusminus

Designed by Stefan Diez, Plusminus is a groundbreaking new lighting system that gives material body to invisible electric currents, allowing light to be sculpted into whatever shape you desire.

At the heart of the Plusminus system is a flexible textile belt, which has been specially woven to seamlessly incorporate conductive fibres. Different lights can be clipped onto the belt at any point along its length, instantly illuminating to provide a click-and-connect system that offers complete freedom of creation.

Whatever lighting you need, Plusminus provides it. The conductive belt can be cut to any length and create lighting constellations of any kind.

The textile may dip into soft curves to allow for pendant lamps and elegant chandeliers; pull taut to trace rigorous, geometric track lighting suitable for an office; or else cut across a space to produce dramatic lighting installations and illuminated room dividers. If you can draw it, Plusminus can create it.

Each belt can accommodate multiple lights, which Diez has designed to suit any purpose. There are spheres like illuminated berries; conical and semi-circular shades that hang like trapeze artists, casting light across a space; and discrete spotlights and linear lights to provide more targeted illumination.

These lamps clip onto the belt in a matter of seconds, enabling fully personalised lighting and atmospheres to suit any mood and space. And if you want to change anything, they clip straight back off, creating an endlessly adaptable system.
