The universe created the sun. All other lights can be created with PLEXIGLAS®.

The great thing about PLEXIGLAS® is that it is always in impressive shape – to be specific, in precisely the shape you require. That’s because our high-performance plastic can be individually formed, making it possible to create entirely new lighting concepts. PLEXIGLAS® also outshines conventional materials in terms of transparency and durability.
