Product description    
Quadrata emerged from the need to create a product that would respond to some requirements:

- A small and visually simple luminaire, to the home and office environment
- Aimed at energy saving, therefore using an electronic ballast (class A2) or a low loss conventional ballast (class B2)
- With direct and indirect lighting. Frosted Glass for the visible diffusers and clear acrylic for the hidden apertures.
- That could be suspended or wall mounted
- That would house T5 as well as T8 fluorescent tubular lamps for the suspended version, and compact fluorescent lamps for the wall mounted version.
- Having available two kinds of body finishings: light aluminium (ral 9006 mat) and Dark Grey.

The result was this family of discreet and fluid luminaires that uses a standard 60x60mm metal tube as the body, where it only lodges a lamp and the diffusers, and a smaller box placed in the surface (ceiling or wall) that houses the ballast and other components.

Because some times just a lamp is not enough, its possible to join two tubes and create a more efficient fixture.
