Essential, fascinating and mysterious, artificial light has gradually turned from its simple 'victor over light' status as the first bulb was invented in 1882 to a sublimating vector of our universe, both unique and part of our daily life.

Its successive (r)evolutions have made it more compact, more flexible, infinitely more open to creative uses. It has become a material that artists and designers can shape to create emotions. However, just like sunlight, artificial light has until today kept some form of power over man, split between attraction towards this vital force and the danger of its burning, dazzling rays.

In the light of this third millenium, after 10 years of research, planilum - a technology co-developed by SAAZS and Saint-Gobain innovations - redefines our relationship with light from the ground up, by suppressing the very reasons for our past fears.

Pure, graphic and sensual, light becomes a soothing element that lets you touch it, look at it - it becomes a living material.

With the Light prose project, SAAZS celebrates this new form of intimacy with light through groundbreaking objects, emblems of this new reality, this new experience that will redefine your daily life.
