This linear, 100 percent indirect luminaire explores architectural forms using a thin-gauge aluminum housing shaped into origami-like folds. Introduced as a prototype at Lightfair, the fixture is now moving into production. For use with two 28W T5 or 54W T5HO lamps, the fixture will be available in 4- and 8-foot-lengths in both a pendant and wall-mounted version. The fixture can be connected for continuous runs or mounted individually and finished with cast-aluminum end caps. Finish colors will be available in white, metallic gray, red, black, or custom. The luminaire is designed with the environment in mind, and all of its components can be taken apart and recycled. peerless-lighting.com/origami
