Luminaire Authentik — a Quebec-based female-founded lighting design and manufacturing company — has introduced the Forma Collection. This lighting system reimagines fixtures as a visual language of assembly where structural components like ceiling plates, connection points, and supports are intentionally celebrated rather than concealed. Under Luminaire Authentik’s concept, its designs create a dialogue between minimalism and postmodernist aesthetics.
Luminaire Authentik’s Forma Collection functions as an expandable and reconfigurable system that allows users to build, modify, and grow their lighting compositions over time, with each element serving as a visible part of the overall design rather than being hidden away as a functional necessity. Every fixture is fully customizable through various options for color, wiring, glass globes, and finishes.
The company prioritizes local production, with all pieces designed and manufactured in its Cowansville, Quebec, workshop, and materials sourced within a 30-kilometre radius of the facility.
