Inside Lumina's fluted glass, the light source becomes a field of reflections. Xavier Carrasquet created the suspended system for Faro Barcelona, pairing sculptural geometry with interchangeable modules. A star-shaped glass profile makes the light visible instead of concealing it inside the fixture.
The effect starts with the material. The flutes capture and multiply reflections from the light source, while the angular profile spreads and filters the illumination. Light breaks apart and expands through the glass, creating a warm texture without direct glare.
That is Lumina's central idea: the lamp becomes a physical presence in the room.
The system has two modules and a basic glass element. Designers can use the modules separately or combine them. They can be linked and grouped, aligned or freely suspended, giving architects and interior designers options for building vertical or horizontal arrangements while retaining the same formal identity.
Lumina can follow an architectural line, create a visual rhythm, gather light around one point or spread it across a larger area. The room's scale and geometry determine the arrangement. The system avoids a fixed silhouette, giving the room a structure to work with.
The approach differs from a conventional pendant built around one finished shape. Lumina treats suspension as a design tool, allowing the system to form a concentrated arrangement or a more open sequence. The glass still controls how people see the light.
Faro Barcelona connects the collection's form with light and architecture. Its technical elements help produce warm light without glare, while remaining visually secondary to the glass geometry. The technology supports the experience instead of becoming the subject.
That room-scale approach differs from the research infrastructure focus described in the earlier telescope report. Here, material reflection and spatial composition shape the result.
Xavier Carrasquet describes Lumina as a design that turns light into visible matter. He also links technical precision with emotional depth. The collection is meant to remain discreet yet recognisable through its clean form and the atmosphere created by the glass.
Faro Barcelona presented Lumina on 07/10/2026. The collection gives the company a clear design position in suspended lighting, beyond adding another decorative object.
The system directs light and controls diffusion, giving architects freedom to shape the installation. Lumina shows how lighting can work as an active part of architecture.
