Hotel Gabrielli, Venezia — pannelli Lucens accesi

Club privato, Manhattan — soffitto Lucens acceso

Bespoke luminous canvases

Woven
Light.

Textile artworks that light up from within the weave: silk and precious yarns interwoven with luminous fibres on Rubelli looms. Made to measure, with architecture and interior studios, from concept to installation.

Let's talk about your project→ Technical sheet

The principle

A decorative fabric and a filigree of light.

Light does not settle on the fabric: it is born within it and surfaces through the design. Where the motif thins, it emerges in warm gold; where the weave is dense, it rests in shadow. A warm, extended, fully dimmable light.

ONOFF

Lucens Ruskin

Damask

From the Rubelli archive, a floral arabesque worn by time: burnished gold on a silver-pewter ground. Lit, the motif becomes a silhouette and light fills the eroded spaces.

ONOFF

Lucens Dripping

Abstract

From the Rubelli archive, an abstract, almost watery erosion. Unlit it is patinated matter; lit, it is crossed by silver and blue reflections.

ONOFF

Lucens Charme Luminoso

Arabesque · light ground

From the Rubelli archive, broad, sinuous arabesque ribbons: the most graphic line of the series. Lit, it is the ground that becomes light; the scrolls stay in shadow.

ONOFF

Lucens Charme Ombra

Arabesque · dark ground

The same design, reversed. Lit, it is the line that becomes light: threads of filigree on a ground of shadow.

Where technology meets tradition.

Silk and precious yarns, interwoven with luminous fibres on the historic Rubelli looms near Como, and the lighting technology developed by Texlum: a quality light, warm and soft, with no visible source, that seems to belong to the fabric itself.

Eccentrica sul leone di San Marco, di giorno

Textum + lumen

Fabric and light, in the same thread.

The name weaves two Latin words: textum — at once text and textile — and lumen, light. From Venice, a city where light is living matter, we build works that make it visible.

Eccentrica su una vera da pozzo veneziana, di sera

“In all things that live there are certain irregularities which are not only signs of life, but sources of beauty.”

John Ruskin, The Stones of Venice

Eccentrica · The portable lamp

Eccentric, like Venetian architecture.

A portable LED lamp, inspired by the irregular, surprising architecture of Venice. The diffuser, lined with Rubelli fabric, turns light into a soft, textured glow that recalls ancient stone and sun-warmed plaster.
