Cosentino and Modular Lighting Instruments are proud to present a new coffee and side table collection by Justine Kegels of JJ Studio, inspired by the unique possibilities of lighting integrations. This collection celebrates the 40th anniversary of Modular’s iconic Modupoint lighting, as well as the launch of Silestone’s Le Chic Bohème collection for a luxurious yet low-maintenance option in the hospitality sector.
This table collection exemplifies what the two brands do best. With sleek Modupoint lighting that still feels contemporary over 40 years later, and a richness to the sturdy slabs of Silestone balanced lovingly on top of one another, the juxtaposition feels natural. All details, from the low height to the gentle curves of various planes, seeming to be lightly suspended in air, despite their obvious weight.
Material use here plays a key role, visual weight of high importance. The solidity of the collection is comforting, a seemingly eternal yet clearly modern take on the stone furniture we know from ages past. Lighting should be beautiful especially when not in use, a permanent and essential fixture in any living space. This is integral to the considerations of the hospitality industry, where style and substance matter equally. This collection exemplifies these notions, carefully blending the two for an elegant result.
The polished stone reflects light, filling the space with a golden glow. “I wanted to bring the stone and lighting together in harmony, creating a design that is not only functional but can also be seen as a work of art,” says Kegels. The expert combination of the Blanc Elysée and Château Brown colors from the new Silestone collection merge seamlessly with the modernist lighting elements, creating a beautifully cohesive collection.
The updated Modupoint collection, featuring a modular lighting system, is now enhanced by the introduction of the panel mount. This can be integrated into materials like wood and stone, creating an expanse of new material technology. “This technology can now also be applied to furniture, opening new doors for innovations in interior design and the hospitality sector,” said Astrid De Couvreur of Modular.
Modular Lighting Instruments is a Belgian brand specializing in immersive lighting solutions, spanning residential, retail, and commercial industries. They work diligently to integrate the latest lighting technologies in their products, fully believing that is the future of lighting experiences. We can’t help but agree, as more multifunctional furniture continues to become more popular within hospitality.
Cosentino is a globally known, family-run company that brings high-end surfaces to the world of design and architecture. Silestone is one of their many stone products, working seamlessly with the form of the design to present the material elegantly. “At Cosentino, we strongly believe in the power of partnerships with designers, both nationally and internationally. These collaborations help us push boundaries in material use, aesthetics, and functionality.” explains Cosentino’s marketing manager, Alicia Bremmers, emphasizing the importance of collaboration.
JJ Studio was founded by Justine Kegels, a multi-hyphenate ranging from photography, to design, and concept creation to styling. Graduating with a masters in architecture, proportion is deftly used within the collection to add visual interest to the layers as they float ever so slightly away from the body of the frame.
