Best of NeoCon Gold Award – Lighting
T-BAR UP reimagines the ceiling grid as an integrated lighting system, replacing standard T-bars with indirect illumination that extends just three or six inches below the ceiling plane. By occupying space that already exists within the architecture, the fixture preserves valuable plenum space while simplifying coordination with other building systems. The result is a streamlined solution that combines lighting, structure, and performance within a single element.
Best of NeoCon Silver Award – Lighting
Developed in collaboration with Toronto design studio MSDS, Sequencer™ is a modular lighting system that balances sculptural form with adaptability. Available in one-, two-, and four-head configurations, the collection combines powder-coated aluminum with glass diffusers to create compositions that scale effortlessly from individual fixtures to larger architectural installations.
HiP Award – Environmental Impact
More than a sculptural lighting collection, Somari reflects LightArt’s ongoing commitment to sustainable design and responsible manufacturing. Produced entirely in-house at the company’s U.S. facility, the collection is designed to minimize waste, streamline production, and reduce environmental impact through advanced fabrication techniques and modular construction. Inspired by the simplicity of paper lanterns, Somari pairs timeless forms with long-lasting LED technology, showcasing how thoughtful design and sustainability can work together to create products built for both today’s spaces and tomorrow’s needs.
