Au fil des années, beaucoup a été écrit sur la relation profonde entre la lumière et l'architecture. Cette nouvelle entreprise offre un aperçu unique du parcours de l'architecte Jan Van Lierde, dont les expériences variées ont abouti à la création de Black54. Sa carrière s'étend sur des décennies de pratique architecturale, de développement de produits, de conseil en éclairage, ainsi qu'un monde de voyages et de rencontres inspirantes.

De son sac à dos rempli d'idées est né un distillat qui emprunte une nouvelle voie—non seulement dans la vision de la lumière en tant que produit, mais aussi dans la manière dont la communication et la distribution ont été repensées. C'est une traversée d'une vie passionnée par la lumière et l'architecture.

Une entreprise respectueuse repose sur des partenariats—des partenaires en recherche, en production, et surtout en marketing et en vente.

Black54 adopte une approche stratégique pour les trois prochaines années, visant à nouer des relations à long terme et à développer de nouveaux concepts et produits.

Notre objectif est de créer des relations significatives, en profitant de chaque étape de notre processus, tout en construisant une communauté qui ressemble à un club privé, avec des membres et des invités spéciaux qui explorent notre univers de design et de technologie.

ESSENTIALS

Light as an Element of Architecture:

Black54 creates accent lighting that complements architecture quiet, flexible, and built to enhance spatial quality without excess.

CONTROLS

Intelligent Light, Intuitive Experience:

Lighting should respond like nature. Our systems offer precise, user-centered control that supports rhythm, comfort, and clarity.

EASE OF INSTALL

Designed for the Entire Process:

From smart packaging to intuitive wiring, Black54 simplifies installation with clean, efficient solutionstailored to the job site. 

UGR < 6

Optical Performance Without Distraction:

Every luminaire is engineered to stay below UGR 10—delivering high output, perfect color, and visual calm in every beam.

SHAPE OF DESIGN

A Language of Purpose:

Form follows function. Our minimal aesthetic is shaped by use, finished with care, and built to last across time and context.

ESG

Built with a View Toward Tomorrow:

Sustainability guides every step—from long-life performance to responsible materials and a circular product lifecycle.

IP44​

Protection Built In:

Resists dust and moisture for reliable use in humid or semi-outdoor zones. Prevents corrosion and ingress to keep performance stable over time.

40 mm DEPTH

Minimal Space, Full Output:

Fits into shallow cavities and acoustic panels without sacrificing optical quality. Ideal for renovations and tight layouts.

ADJUSTABLE BEAM

One Fixture, Multiple Effects:

Beam angle can be tuned on site from accent to general lighting. Reduces product variants and supports changing layouts.

TUNABLE WHITE

Adaptive Color Temperature:

Ranges from 1800 K to 4000 K for warm ambience or focused task light. Aligns artificial light with natural daily cycles.

FLEXIBILTY

Modular by Design:

Supports recessed, surface, pendant, and track use. Easily integrates with sensors and control systems.
