19th December 2024 | IN KBB DESIGN | BY SBID Share Tweet Pinterest LinkedIn Belgian luxury kitchen appliance brand, Novy, has launched Designer Lighting 2.0, its latest collection of smart touchless gesture-controlled lighting products for the kitchen. The collection includes the Pendant, Shelf and Wall models in a range of new lengths starting from 95cm up to 305cm. In addition, all Designer Lighting 2.0 models are now available in a new Mineral White colourway, together with Mineral Black. Providing a premium aesthetic for the contemporary kitchen, Novy’s Designer Lighting 2.0 collection has been developed to provide smart lighting solutions for kitchen specialists and interior designers to showcase in their projects. The Pendant is an ideal overhead accompaniment to a Novy vented hob installed within a kitchen island, while the Shelf and Shelf Pro models answer the growing trend for floating shelves as opposed to wall-mounted cabinets in a scheme. The Wall is a further solution that can be used to illuminate a recess in the kitchen or within a home bar, where there is an option to change the colour temperature and hue to create a specific ambience, as required. New Mineral White Colourway The Designer Lighting 2.0 collection is available in Mineral Black or new Mineral White colourways. Every model in the 2.0 collection is manufactured and hand-assembled at the Novy factory in Kuurne, Belgium. Each is hand-sprayed using a specially formulated matt finish powder-coated paint that features a mineralised structure, ensuring it is less sensitive to fingerprint marks and is easier to clean. Choice of Lengths All Pendant, Shelf and Wall models in the Designer Lighting 2.0 Collection are available in the following lengths: 95cm, 125cm,155cm,185cm, 215cm, 245cm, 275cm and 305cm. The Shelf Pro models that feature Novy’s Gesture Control Pro technology are available in the following lengths: 125cm, 155cm,185cm, 215cm, 245cm, 275cm and 305cm. Advanced Illumination The Designer Lighting 2.0 collection benefits from advanced lighting technology. All models feature smooth illumination from a powerful integrated LED strip line that delivers 3500 Lux, an equivalent of 50% more Lumen per m² than in previous versions. The adjustable light intensity and colour temperature range from 2,700K to 4,000K to deliver ambient lighting with greater depth, and stronger functional or task lighting. Gesture Controls Touchless gesture-controlled lighting is simple to use with a range of learnt gestures that activate the light and adjust the luminosity. With the Pendant, Shelf and Wall models, there is a sensor at the centre of the base. By swiping under the sensor the LEDs are activated, holding your hand under the sensor then changes the light intensity from functional to ambient, while another quick gesture will deactivate it. The Shelf Pro model features Gesture Control Pro with sensors along the entire base of the shelf so the beam can be directed where you want it, above or below the shelf. Holding your open hand just beneath the sensor accesses a palette of colour options, ideal for changing the mood in the room. Five Year Warranty Every Designer Lighting 2.0 model in the collection comes with a five-year warranty.
