TECTON II: The Future of Continuous-Row Lighting
Developed in collaboration with Italian design and engineering experts Pininfarina, TECTON

recycling, or remanufacturing. With an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), TECTON II
transparently details its CO₂ balance, material composition, and recycling potential.

data centre events. Emphasising core values such as material efficiency, robust design,
functionality, and durability.
