How does Multiline design bespoke lighting for projects?

1) We start with the space, not the profile

Every bespoke lighting project begins with context:

• What is the purpose of the space: its function, use and required comfort?
• What is the architectural character of the design: lines, rhythm and sightlines?
• Which practical conditions are fixed: ceiling build-up, technical installations and mounting height?

Once this foundation is clear, we can determine whether bespoke lighting adds value and which type of solution best suits the project.

2) Engineering: from idea to a feasible concept

An idea is only as good as its execution. Lighting that looks attractive on a drawing may encounter very practical challenges on site: supporting structures, recesses, climate or acoustic ceilings, sensors, sprinklers, cable routes and more. No challenge is too great, provided it can be solved cost-effectively through customisation. That is why we translate the design into a concept that is not only visually strong, but also technically feasible for installation.

We take the following into account:

• Mounting principles
• Positioning of drivers and power supplies
• Accessibility for maintenance and repairs
• Connections, cable entry points and possible interruptions
• The desired lighting effect: light distribution, glare control and visual comfort

With bespoke lighting, almost anything is possible. However, there is an important difference between a solution that simply looks good and one that can also be installed and handed over smoothly. Wherever possible, we standardise intelligently to keep the overall concept logical, efficient and manageable.

3) In-house production: speed and quality

At Multiline, we manufacture in-house, allowing us to respond quickly while monitoring quality through every stage of finishing and assembly.

This means we know exactly what is possible from a design perspective. It is also why bespoke lighting does not necessarily have to require more time. When the process is properly coordinated, the project can maintain its momentum.

4) Efficient project management for bespoke lighting

Last but not least: communication.

In projects involving a significant amount of bespoke lighting, every stakeholder needs certainty: the architect, consulting engineer, installer and client. That is why we coordinate closely throughout the project: Does the design still match the on-site situation? Is delivery aligned with the construction schedule? Is installation feasible in terms of logistics and electrical connections?

Depending on the project, we work with sample pieces, clear detail drawings or on-site visits to provide additional explanation. This ensures that the final result does not depend on interpretation on site.

On a construction site, clarity is essential: which luminaire goes where, in which sequence and with what connection logic? Where required, we support the installation process so that the bespoke solution delivers exactly what was designed.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”

In many projects, we use bespoke lighting to ensure light lines align precisely with the rhythm of the building. Linear systems such as Rekta provide a strong foundation for this: you retain the visual calm of one product family, while we tailor the length, finish and integration to your specific context.
