For architects, a lighting catalogue is much more than just a collection of products. It is a working tool that helps them make design decisions – from choosing the optics and installation methods to creating lighting scenarios within a space. In the new AQForm 2026–2027 catalogue, the brand presents over 50 new luminaires and extensions to existing collections, demonstrating how contemporary lighting combines design, technology and design flexibility.
The latest edition of the catalogue features a total of over 270 luminaires and nearly 240 examples of interiors and spaces where light becomes an integral part of the architecture. It is not merely a product showcase, but also a source of inspiration from completed projects – many of which were designed by architects collaborating with the brand. As a result, the AQForm catalogue remains what the manufacturer has intended it to be for years: a practical compendium of knowledge about light, rather than merely an aesthetic album.
BEADS – light as the jewellery of space
One of the most striking new releases is the BEADS collection, designed in collaboration with Maciej Ferenc. The inspiration came from the motif of beads – the glass shades resemble pieces of jewellery suspended in space, creating a decorative composition of light.
The range comprises five basic types of pendant luminaires – ball, cone, disc, ovo and cumulus – as well as systems enabling the creation of larger installations: horizontal compositions (120 and 200 cm) and vertical compositions (120 cm). With three shade shapes and four colour options – opal and transparent: graphite, fuchsia and indigo – architects can create an almost unlimited number of configurations within a single collection.
BEADS is ideal wherever lighting is intended to become part of the interior design – above a table in a restaurant, in a hotel lobby or in a formal part of the home.
BUCLO LED – multi-layered light compositions
The second major new development is the expansion of the well-known BUCLO collection. The new variants – ripples, giro, chain and hoop – are striking lighting installations based on rings of various diameters.
This solution builds on the concept of layered lighting, which is now one of the key elements of interior design. A single installation combines different directions of light emission – downwards, upwards or into the interior of the ring – creating general lighting with a distinctly decorative character.
These types of arrangements work particularly well in larger spaces: hotel lobbies, stairwells, restaurants or reception areas.
Technology at the service of design: ALULINE and QRLED next E
New additions to the AQForm catalogue also include purely design-oriented solutions, created with the flexibility of lighting systems and the architect’s work in mind.
ALULINE mini is a linear luminaire designed for Multitrack track systems. It provides even, diffused light and can also function as an uplight in the MULTITRACK up&down system, creating comfortable lighting reflected from the ceiling.
Another new addition is the QRLED next E with an oval rosette, available in single or dual-module versions. Thanks to its wide range of adjustment, it allows for the creation of precise lighting accents in spaces requiring spot lighting. The dual version offers high luminous efficacy from a single power supply point, and the luminaire is available in as many as nine finishes.
RIBBY – expansion of the award-winning collection
The 2026–2027 catalogue also introduces new variants and luminaires in the RIBBY family, which has been recognised in the world of design and honoured with the Red Dot Design Award 2025, the iF Design Award 2025 and the German Design Award 2026. The distinctive profile, inspired by nature, has become the starting point for further solutions.
Among the new additions is the RIBBY round up&down – a pendant luminaire with a round shade that emits light upwards and downwards. It is ideal for compact kitchens, small flats or intimate dining spaces.
The new RIBBY line points combines spot lighting modules providing powerful task lighting with an uplight ensuring comfortable general lighting. Thanks to a dual-circuit system, a single luminaire allows for three lighting scenarios: up, down or up&down.
The RIBBY wall up&task, on the other hand, is a wall lamp that combines general lighting with an adjustable reading spotlight – a solution particularly useful in bedrooms, hotel rooms or relaxation areas. The collection demonstrates how light can fulfil both a technical and decorative function, becoming an integral part of the interior architecture.
The launch of the AQForm 2026–2027 catalogue clearly demonstrates that light now plays a dual role in interior design. On the one hand, it creates the atmosphere and aesthetic of a space – as seen in the decorative BEADS and BUCLO collections. On the other, it is a precise design tool, exemplified by the ALULINE mini and QRLED next E luminaires.
New luminaires and developments in existing collections confirm that lighting is no longer merely a technical element. Today, it is one of the architect’s main tools, enabling them to shape the space, rhythm and character of an interior.
