SIMES Luxury Exterior
Lighting with a Twist
SIMES, a UK partner of Zumtobel Group,
has expanded its portfolio following
collaboration with international designers
using various materials including concrete,
wood and aluminium to create the most
amazing luminaires that bring exterior
spaces to life. In the new collection, SIMES
expresses its creativity by playing with
primary geometries - the circle, square,
triangle - and works on the fundamental
principles of forms to offer new lighting
ideas.
SIMES’ individual exterior lighting ex-
pertise and strict environmental ethos
provides architects and lighting designers
with a combination of the most technolog-
ically advanced products combined with
the very latest, eye-catching aesthetics.
Ghost is a luminaire contained within a
solid concrete structure, offered in various
designs it incorporates a light blade
within the concrete surround - when it’s
off, it disappears. It has no artifice, just a
cut in the concrete with brutal and magic
inspiration, directly cast into the concrete,
fusing architecture and light in a natural
way.
Keen represents the evolution of out-
door lighting projectors. A special double
joint allows the projector to take infinite
positions for different light effects and
its minimal design makes it suitable for a
wide range of architectural applications.
Available in four sizes, Keen is engineered
with the most advanced LED technology
58 Landscape & Urban Design
and different optical solutions, ensuring a
performing light effect and energy saving
characteristics.
Stage is an ultra-thin and ultra-perform-
ing, adjustable projector generating a
luminous flux of extraordinary intensity
and visual quality. Available in symmet-
rical and asymmetrical version, Stage is
ready to house the DALI system (available
on request), necessary to manage the
quantity of light. The asymmetric version
is characterised by an innovative scoop
optic that guarantees lower luminance
resulting in maximum visual comfort.
Another new, adjustable projector is Out-
line, a basic and sophisticated design cre-
ated for a lighting system that shapes the
space with a distinctive, clean and tasteful
style. Whether as pole,
wall or floor mounted,
Outline enhances the
expressivity of pure
aluminium through
minimal and simple
lines that illuminate
space and reveal its
true potential.
Other additions to the
range include Stream-
line wall-washer and
projector, a linear
wall-washer designed
to illuminate walls
and facades with a
grazing light effect, creating a soft and
uniform diffusion, Smooth functional and
accent lighting that’s guaranteed by the
latest generation of LED, combined with
specific reflectors and Plan, a brand new
LED appliqué with single or double light
emission.
