Coordinates is a lighting system with diffuse light composed of horizontal and vertical luminaries arranged in a bright grid of various shapes and complexities. Each element is made of extruded anodized aluminium with a champagne or argent finish and a diffuser in platinum optical silicone with an integrated LED strip (CRI 95).
