Xtra Magazine (Belgium) – April 2010
Lightfacet featured as a stylish solution for dividing open-plan living spaces
In April 2010, Belgian lifestyle magazine Xtra featured Lightfacet in an article about movable room dividers and flexible interior solutions. The publication highlighted the growing need to create privacy and distinct functional zones within contemporary open-plan homes.
Stylishly Separated
The article, titled “Modieus gescheiden” (“Fashionably Separated”), explored how modern homes increasingly combine multiple functions within a single space. Home offices, play areas, guest rooms and open kitchens often share the same floor plan, creating a need for flexible ways to introduce privacy without sacrificing light or openness.
Among several featured products, Lightfacet was presented as an innovative alternative to traditional room dividers.
Diamonds in the Room
Under the headline “Diamanten in de kamer” (“Diamonds in the Room”), the magazine described Lightfacet as a modular room divider created by Eindhoven designers Bas van Leeuwen and Mireille Meijs.
The article emphasized how the diamond-shaped modules can be individually opened and closed, allowing users to create their own patterns while controlling transparency and sightlines. Beyond functioning as a room divider, Lightfacet was also presented as a decorative element and even as a sun screen.
A Dynamic Architectural Element
What distinguished Lightfacet from conventional partitions was its ability to continuously transform. By rotating individual facets, users could make the divider more open or closed in specific areas, creating a unique balance between privacy, light and spatial connection.
The article noted the modular construction of the system, which allows the divider to be expanded over time and adapted to different spaces and requirements.
