High profile

At the 2022 Milan Design Week, MVRDV and Delta Light presented the 'High profile' series, a range of luminaires inspired by residual product: leftover aluminium profiles. The design looks critically at the manufacturing process, finding not only opportunity but also beauty in elements that are normally discarded as waste. Awards: 2022 Dezeen Awards Winner (Lighting Design); 2022 Arc22 Longlisted (Innovation); 2024 Architelier award Winner, Light+Building 2024 (Social Responsibility).
