Excellent – Leven & Wonen (Eindhoven Edition) — Winter 2009
Lightfacet featured in a trend report on timeless interiors
In the Winter 2009 edition of Excellent – Leven & Wonen, Lightfacet was featured in a curated shopping and interior trends section titled “Tijdloos sfeervol” (Timeless atmosphere). The article explored the enduring appeal of monochrome interiors, highlighting how white, grey and black continue to create elegant and sophisticated living environments.
Timeless atmosphere
The feature focused on products that embrace simplicity, strong silhouettes and refined patterns. Rather than following short-lived trends, the selected objects demonstrated how carefully chosen design pieces can create a lasting sense of style and harmony within the home.
Among decorative accessories, furniture and homeware, Lightfacet was presented as a striking architectural element that brings both visual interest and practical functionality to an interior.
A room divider shaped by light and pattern
The magazine described Lightfacet as a room divider composed of interconnected diamond-shaped modules that can each be opened or closed individually. This allows users to create changing patterns throughout the surface while adjusting the balance between openness and privacy.
Its geometric appearance perfectly complemented the article’s theme of monochrome elegance, where texture, shadow and form take centre stage.
Design that evolves with the space
Unlike conventional partitions, Lightfacet was presented as an interactive interior element. By rotating individual facets, users can continuously transform the appearance of the divider, creating unique compositions that respond to changing needs and lighting conditions.
The result is a room divider that functions not only as a spatial separator, but also as a sculptural design object.

The magazine described Lightfacet as a room divider consisting of interconnected diamond-shaped plastic elements that can each be opened or closed individually. The design allows users to create ever-changing patterns while introducing structure, privacy and visual rhythm into a space.
Why this feature mattered
Excellent positioned Lightfacet within a broader interior trend focused on timeless design rather than seasonal fashion.
