The Kreon KAGI profile system has a spatial strength that wants to organise and connect the individual zones in modern architecture. It is an object of a pure construction without wanting to be visual ballast, constructed according to both the principle of the straight line and the economic principle, i.e. maximum effect with a minimum of shape or material.
Kreon KAGI constructs compositions that are in direct dialogue with the space in which they are used and consists of connecting basic elements —24V track— with simple round or square volumes and materials. These formal three-dimensional compositions, which are perceived as one whole, are always clearly constructed from individual and independent elements. The resulting object has its dynamics — formal and visual — in an architecture which, depending on the intended purpose, must be coordinated by the architect or lighting planner.
The Kreon KAGI system aims to be a guiding principle in the architecture and to provide an answer to the elementary solutions desired in a lighting plan. Kreon KAGI is an innovative and extremely versatile patented® profile system combining linear and accent lighting. The basic 24V profile can be either recessed or surface mounted and can optionally be equipped with 16 mm or 26 mm diameter light tubes for sustained soft light distribution. A junction allows a perpendicular, 90° tilted second-level connection of the 24V profile. Round or square shaped spotlights and wallwashers can be added just by clamping them on the main profiles making Kreon KAGI an essential lighting tool that can be used as a graphic play of light or guide light.
The dynamic prerequisite
The floor plan of the architecture makes walls redundant and increasingly strives for the principle of open space divided only by functional requirements. The essential elements of the Kreon KAGI profile system not only fulfil the practical and necessary function of distributing the voltage from a single point. With the ingenious addition of a linear luminaire, creating an element which the lighting planner can use to accentuate the linear attraction of the floor plan.
The rhythmic prerequisite
Good architecture not only calculates with space but also with time. In its purest form, it is filled in by the residents, who can give the same area an alternating visual aspect. KAGI allows the illumination of objects, functions or points of view by adding simple round or square light containers.
The static precondition
By using wall-wash modules on well thought of locations, the lighting planner creates a surface that is illuminated and therefore attracts attention. By planning in vertical lighting, the lighting planner not only provides orientation in the space but also highlights the illuminated partition area.
Testimonial by Daan Van den Branden, lighting designer Kreon:
"Kreon KAGI allows us to use light in one space, from one connection. There are numerous possibilities. One could use the light lines that are either unattached or attached. As a result of this setup, one has a diffuse lighting sphere lined out. Should one require more direct light, additional downlights can be secured. The position of these can be determined during assembly. Even later, more downlights can still be added. This shows the flexibility of this system.
Kreon KAGI vertical
Of course, it is also possible to install Kreon KAGI vertically. Different combinations are possible with various design options. To create true eyecatchers, this system has architectural value. With Kreon KAGI we can physically connect the devices with each other. When applied in a seating area with minimalistic design, we can create an atmospheric effect using lights and shadows, all from one connection. This makes this system applicable in renovations as well. Should it be used in spaces that need extra light, for instance, a kitchen area, additional downlights can provide all the light that is needed".
