In a world where innovation and sustainability move towards environmental action, Philips MyCreation emerges as a forward-thinking design brand, representing a win for the environment and future generations.
Signify, the world leader in lighting has pioneered breakthroughs in lighting for more than 125 years. With the introduction of this brand, they strengthened their purpose to unlock the extraordinary potential of light for brighter lives and a better world.
This new brand came to life as a response to pressing environmental challenges, by contributing to a circular economy, reducing CO2 emissions, and eliminating waste. The heart of this brand lies in 3D printing technology, where all printed parts are made with at least 55% of recycled or bio-circular plastics.
This production approach enables the creation of one-of-a-kind designs that can be custom-fit to brands and spaces, with a minimal carbon footprint.
If you’re a design enthusiast with an eye for unique lighting solutions, you’re in for a treat. There are not one but two exciting paths to select your perfect luminaire: by choosing among pre-designed products, or by co-creating a personalized design.
The first path invites you to explore a world of pre-designed lighting solutions that you can customize to fit your unique needs. Whether you’re a business, designer or an individual, you’ll find a treasure trove of high-quality luminaires, including downlights, projectors, and pendants. What sets these apart is the flexibility to mix and match design elements like color, texture, and shape, offering endless possibilities.
An example of the pre-designed lighting is the trio of special edition pendant products, each with its own captivating story. The Spring Oasis collection breathes new life into repurposed water jugs, the Coastal Breeze collection takes sustainability to the coast of Cornwall by recycling fishing nets, and last but not least, the Jewels collection, which proudly wears the IF Design Award as a badge of honor, with pendants that are genuine works of art.
For those who crave something truly one-of-a-kind, the second path is all about co-creating a unique luminaire together with Philips MyCreation’s top designers to bring the customers’ vision to life. This collaborative journey empowers the client to craft a luminaire that not only fits the space but also aligns with each brand’s identity.
The process is a breeze with six simple steps: share your project, sketch ideas, select your design, texture & color, specify details, fine-tune the prototype, and voilà — your unique creation is ready to be printed and delivered.
In this way, the future of lighting design is not only brilliantly illuminated but also sustainable and customizable. Whether you choose from pre-designed options or embark on a co-creation journey, your lighting dreams can now become a reality.
So, if you’re ready to light up your world with innovative and unmatched design possibilities, look no further for a beacon of inspiration.
