IALD Announces Call For Entries For 2019 Awards
(USA) - The International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) has announced the submission and entry process for the 36th Annual IALD International Lighting Design Awards is now open.
The oldest international architectural lighting design competition, the IALD International Lighting Design Awards, showcases excellence in architectural lighting design through its winning projects.
“The IALD Awards programme is designed to elevate the profile of lighting designers by recognising exceptional architectural lighting design around the globe,” said IALD President David Ghatan, IALD.
“Projects that win IALD awards are remarkable examples of the many ways in which users experience spaces—as a result of lighting and of the visual atmospheres created by quality designs.”
“We encourage projects of all sizes and scopes to enter,” said IALD Awards Chairperson Morgan Gabler, IALD. “What matters is that your project has a compelling story and makes a powerful impact on a space.”
The early bird pricing for entering the awards programme will end 2 October 2018 and the final deadline for all submissions is 5 November 2018.
The award-winning projects will be announced on Wednesday, 22 May 2019 at the 2019 IALD Education Trust Benefit Dinner and 36th Annual IALD International Lighting Design Awards Presentation in Philadelphia, PA USA.

Alteme Licht Chiara
Its delicate profile with lateral light integration and its suspension cable providing the power supply means Chiara is discreet and appears to be floating in the room. When switched off, the semi-transparent, micro-structured conical prism sheet allows a hazy view. The entire electronics are integrated into the canopy and come with an optional accessory set. It can also be accommodated in a suspended ceiling to reduce the visual impact to an absolute minimum.
Trilux Parelia LED
The Parelia LED pendant luminaire not only features an unusual length of more than two metres, its interrupted direct light component is connected with the indirect component via a light line, which also lends it a highly distinctive character. For example, it facilitates a continuous line model where the direct and indirect light components alternate along the line.
Linea Light Group Tablet FL
The Tablet FL is an aluminium upright luminaire with a metal base and optional white or black finish. It’s rectangular, slender and minimal in shape, it has two swivel modules in series with topLED sources and polycarbonate diffuser. Controlled at 350 degrees, the light on each support can be directed in all directions or limited to defined portions of the room, acting as ambient light or for relaxation corners.
Fluxwerx Loop
Loop is a series of linear suspended and recessed luminaires. Its aperture design merges geometric shapes with advanced LED technology, making the lights suitable for different environments. Equipped with the novel Radial Anidolic technology, they deliver highly efficacious, axially symmetric lighting distributions. The small transparent optical lens allows a high level of visual comfort from all viewing angles as well as a uniform illumination of work surfaces and has a high energy-efficiency.
XAL Leno Surface
Leno Surface is a strikingly flat surface-mounted luminaire suitable for both wall and ceiling mounting. Its flat design is based on LED side feed (LGP) technology paired with a magnetic mounting system. The powder-coated, extruded aluminium profile, with a total height of only 28mm, is available in white, grey or black. For the cover, there is a choice between an opal model, with a fifteen percent increased light output, and a micro-prismatic model.
Sattler Gioco
The new Sattler luminaire, based on the Golden Ratio, is available in five sizes. Whether as a rectangle or a square, direct or indirect light emission, Gioco offers a high degree of flexibility and creative scope for a wide range of applications. Its clear lines and transitions along the edges are enhanced by the anodized brush finishes. The fixture comes with an optional Acoustic Panel set, which may be added at any time and ensures a noticeable reduction of reverberation and a corresponding improvement of the overall room acoustics.
Joy Lighting Clip
Clip is an outdoor lamp series that provides indirect lighting, and as the name already suggests, it features shapes that are inspired by the contour of a clip. The top cover serves as a glare shield, while the bright inner sides at the gap disperse the light in the desired directions. The black aluminium bollard lamp measures 305 × 251 × 51mm, while the wall lamp features a depth of only 69mm. Both lamps offer a colour temperature of 3,000K at 10 watts and a light output of 250 lumens.
LED Linear VarioLed Flex VENUS True Colour
A new polyurethane encapsulation technology enabled the production of this light line for indoor and outdoor use. It is available in two models: Top View bends two-dimensionally perpendicular to the luminous surface, while the 3D model enables a homogeneous light line, which can be twisted or bent in three dimensions. Both models feature the same cross-section, an intelligent cable feed and special end caps which enable a seamless luminaire-to-luminaire installation.
Fagerhult Skywalker
With a width of 36mm and a characteristic opening between the two light sources, this pendant luminaire showcases a playful design language. Rounded corners temper the appearance of the clearly defined outer profile. Skywalker offers lighting technology complementing the human biorhythm and complies with European lighting standards. The combination of 40 percent direct and 60 percent indirect light yields a homogeneous room illumination, while the use of Tunable-White technology allows for individual adjustments.
Mawa Design wittenberg 4.0
A surface-mounted spotlight with an angular aluminium housing (powder-coated) has an even more compact structure with no visible screws or cable. With an approximately doubled light output and improved colour rendition, the spotlight has a large light emission surface and excellent glare control. The spotlight can rotate 365 degrees and can be tilted 90 degrees. The whole spotlight can be demounted rapidly due to the bayonet, which is patent pending.
Stickbulb Boom
The design of this chandelier is inspired by the dynamics of destroyed buildings. Boom combines cast-brass joints and linear wooden bulb holders of different sizes to create forms of exploding light. The chandelier is available in two configurations, the single boom in three sizes and the double boom. The wood for the original LED holders comes from dismantled water towers, which stood on old buildings in New York City.
