The project
Lighting our new workshop came with a specific requirement: working with its metal joist structure. At Archicercle, we designed MOVELIGHT, a set of flat light fittings that sit between the joists and can slide to position the light wherever it is needed.
The design starts with the space between the joists. Rather than fixing each light in a single position, the fittings can slide along the line of joists. The existing structure therefore determines both how they fit and the path along which they move.
We integrated flat recessed LED lights into supports with cut-outs, avoiding the need for surface-mounted lights. The piece without its light installed makes the arrangement clear: an elongated white panel with a circular opening to accommodate the light.
To allow movement, we left additional cable length and accommodated it above the fitting. This cable slack is part of the solution, alongside the sliding support and the recessed light. The result is an installed lighting system for our own use, developed in response to the workshop’s layout.
The opening in the support accommodates the flat recessed light.
Additional cable length allows the fitting to move between the joists.
