Philips luminous textile is a unique ambient lighting system that integrates multi-coloured LEDs within textile panels. Designed to create ‘mood walls’ that can display dynamic content, the panels integrate lighting into a building’s architecture to create decorative and ambient effects.

Luminous textile panels come in standard and customised sizes. Each panel is built up of LED modules consisting of multi-colour LEDs with a 60 mm pitch fixed on acoustic foam. The panel can be mounted with bolts and magnets to ensure precise potitioning. The number of mounting points depend on the panel size. The diver box and power supply are integrated in the panel so installation is dramatically simplified. The only connections are a standard power cable and an Ethernet cable to upload and manage the dynamic content and connect the system to, for example building management systems.

The durable panels are finished with Kvadrat textiles and use a Kvadrat Soft Cells acoustic panels with patented technology to keep the fabric under constant tension within the aluminium frame. The sound-dampening nature of the fabric can also help to soften the acoustics of spaces.

What’s more, thanks to their modular construction, the panels can be installed in combination with the Kvadrat Soft Cells as part of a building’s original design, or used as a Post-fit solution to control sound absorption. Luminous textile respects all building regulations and safety norms. The Kvadrat fabrics are independently tested and meet the requirements for contract textiles for abrasion, light-fastness and flammability.

Installing the luminous textile system is as easy as plug and play. Simply fix the brackets in place and a series of magnets will help you to align the panels, quickly and accurately. Once installed, plug in the power and Ethernet connector and the system is ready to upload the content and final testing. The Ethernet connection is enabling remote content management and system monitoring.

Luminous textile panels come in standard and customised sizes for the ultimate design flexibility. Multiple panels can be arranged in numerous ways to bring each space alive. Create one huge mood wall as a dramatic backdrop to a room. Follow the rise of a staircase with staggered panels. Or scatter individual panels across a wall and spread the content across them. Anything is possible.
