Design Inspiration

Technical lighting was sadly lacking in excitement – until Schonbek set out to reinvent the category with Geometrix®. We expressed simple geometric shapes in the brilliant medium of crystal. Suddenly, with Geometrix®, a room could be minimalist and dazzling all at once. Interior designers had a whole new toy to play with.

The basic building block of most Geometrix® designs is a lily-cut Strass® crystal octagon that’s highly refractive and incomparably brilliant. Strass® is considered the finest crystal in the world.

This unique high tech lighting collection includes chandeliers, pendants, sconces, bath bars, spotlights, track lights and crystal trim for recessed lighting.

Some Geometrix® designs are bold blocks of shimmering color. Others are light sculptures in icy clear crystal.

Geometrix® colors include many composites unique to Schonbek, and range from subtle to off the color charts. Recently we expanded the palette with new premium colors. These encompass both iridescent colors of inexpressible depth and liveliness, as well as natural earth tones in shimmering tonalities.

Every color has its complementary color or colors, making it easy for a designer to mix Geometrix® designs with harmonious results.

Geometrix® could only have arisen in the twenty-first century. At the same time, it represents an exploration of light spanning centuries. Schonbek dates back to 1870 in Bohemia.
