"We work with different manufac- turers all over the world, not just local ones to make sure we find the best solution for our clients. That's why we are here." Landscape Forms – designer and manufac- turer of high-design LED lighting, site furniture, structure, and accessories – introduces Motive, the company's newest lighting line. Designed by Justin Champaign, Motive blurs the line between indoor and outdoor lighting and expands the possibilities for creating unique settings and accents. "Motive features some firsts for Landscape Forms," says Marjorie Simmons, CEO, Landscape Forms. "We feature a hidden light source and clear lens in sev- eral of the fixtures, which creates interesting and sculptural light effects." The line includes an out- door floor lamp, also a first for Landscape Forms. Motive celebrates the beauty of light and its inter- action with objects, architecture, and space. "Motive is one of our most intelligent and sophisticated lighting lines," says Kirt Martin, VP of marketing and design and chief creative officer. "The hidden light source and clear lens emphasize the sculp- tural form of the fixture's interior and at the same time illuminate architecture and space. The lights are experiential and technologically advanced, designed to be decorative elements in important places such as building entrances and art installa- tions. They are both beautiful and functional." The floor lamp exemplifies Landscape Forms' culture of design, technology, and craft. The lamp's state-of-the-art LED technology strips away all of the componentry in an ultra-minimalist form. "You see light but don't see the light source, creating an intriguing effect," says Martin. The Motive family includes area lights with clear and diffused lenses, three distribution types, and two pole heights; a path light with diffused lens and two distribution types; an ADA compliant wall- mounted light with diffused lens that emits light in 360 degrees; a pendant light with clear lens and Lambertian distribution; and a floor lamp with point source light that can be surface-mounted, hardwired, or freestanding. Motive's mid-power LED configuration produces smooth, even light, and the lamp and reflector design eliminate glare. Lights are offered in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K temperatures and are UL listed. All are available in a full colour palette and finished with Landscape Forms' proprietary Pangard II HAPS, VOC, and lead- free polyester powdercoat. The broad scope of lighting designs created by the award-winning team at Mulvey & Banani Lighting has resulted in projects that range from iconic to serene. "One design we are proud of is The Leaf – Canada's Diversity Gardens, part of the redevelopment of Assiniboine Park," says Stephen Kaye, VP. "The con- cept for this facility creates a multi-seasonal experience over four distinct worlds, or biomes. The Leaf tells Canadian cultural stories through the world of plants." Another project that attracts residents and visi- tors in the downtown Toronto area is the Urban Campfire Benches. The City was resourcing a unique solution to find street seating and engaging lighting. "We used existing tree uplighting power to create a large-scale, interactive installation that included a programmable colour lighting piece called the Firepit Bench that wraps around the trees." In addition to the creative paths, Mulvey & Banani Lighting installations include architectural feature lighting, lighting control integration with systems intelligence, and lighting retrofits for energy efficiency. Jim Ormshaw, lighting product specialist at Robinson Lighting & Bath, says trends in lighting fixture colours are changing to brass and gold, with black still being a popular choice. "Chrome, pewter, and brushed nickel were the main choices, but the golds and brass are making a resurgence for design installations, as well as consumer preference." Ormshaw says at a recent trade show, not only were the colour choices new but also the size of prod- ucts. "There are a lot of oversized items, including chandeliers and pendant lights, which are well suited for grand entrances. Additionally, manufac- turers are now starting to include Colour Changing Temperature [CCT] switches on their fixtures so end- users can easily change from 3,000 to 3,500 to 4,000 Kelvin, each of which creates a different colour tem- perature. CCT is done by most manufacturers, and I believe that by 2025, it will be an industry standard." Regarding new products, Ormshaw notes B.C.- based Kuzco Alora Mood introduced approximately 100 new fixtures, giving designers and consum- ers choices to finish any room. Another supplier, Kichler Lighting – which was purchased two years ago by Masco/Delta Plumbing – offers lighting options that match faucets in kitchens, and match- ing pendants over the island.
