Luxurious lighting

The partnership between Axalta and Belgian brands TAL and Lithoss – both leaders in design solutions – was ignited 15 years ago. As sister brands manufacturing light fixtures and switches respectively, TAL and Lithoss produce distinctive pieces of design that embody craftsmanship and elegance. Working with Axalta was a natural fit: the brands share a commitment to design, sustainability, and aesthetic and functional excellence.

Responsive to trends

According to the brands’ designer Tom Vande Ghinste, black and white have been standard colours in architectural lighting for the past two decades. When trends do break through, Tom says the company is ready to react: “Because we are smaller, we can be flexible and respond more quickly to customer needs and trends.”

Two metallic colours from Axalta’s Anodic Collection – Anodic Brown and Anodic Bronze – feature as standard for TAL / Lithoss light fittings and accessories. The timeless feel they bring to the products is evident in products such as the classic Microscoop lumiere and the contemporary Cockpit switch.

The SuprAnodic coatings provide a robust, luxurious and modern alternative to a traditional brushed anodised finish. Developed in Alesta® AP quality, the coatings add a level of protection that cannot be matched by true anodisation, which can be vulnerable to scratches. This means they stay beautiful for longer.

A contemporary aesthetic

“The Axalta colours offer durability and a contemporary aesthetic,” says Tom. “Anodic Brown provides a warm, earthy tone, while Anodic Bronze offers a timeless, glossy finish. Both colours combine versatility, durability and sustainability for contemporary design projects.”

The shimmering hues of Anodic Brown and Anodic Bronze are echoed in the Human Evoke trend, which celebrates our emotional and social connections to the wider world. The spirit of this palette, which combines modernity and timelessness, captures the design approach of TAL and Lithoss.
