Alphabet of Light Linear 180 Suspension by Artemide was designed by BIG — Bjarke Ingels Group — the Copenhagen and New York-based architecture practice known for buildings that reframe familiar programmatic and formal conventions with wit and structural clarity. Alphabet of Light is BIG's modular lighting system built from a family of geometric elements — straight lines, curves and letterforms — that can be combined into custom compositions ranging from simple linear pendants to full architectural signage and typographic installations. The Linear 180 is a 180cm straight-line module, the fundamental building block from which larger compositions are assembled.
The Alphabet of Light system's modularity is its defining design proposition: rather than a fixed pendant form, it offers architects and designers a kit of parts from which bespoke lighting compositions can be configured to the specific dimensions and character of a space. The Linear 180 module can be used alone as a single continuous line of light over a reception desk, meeting table or retail counter, or combined with curved and angled elements to build custom letterforms, wayfinding installations or sculptural lighting compositions unique to a single project. Its LED core produces an even, continuous glow along the full 180cm length.
Architects and interior designers specifying the Alphabet of Light Linear 180 for corporate, retail, hospitality and cultural interior projects will find the DWG drawing and CAD block essential for linear pendant placement and modular composition planning. The 3D model supports BIM-accurate spatial documentation. A flexible and architecturally ambitious specification for any project building a bespoke modular lighting installation with BIG's design system.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
