IN THE TUBE & IN THE TUBE 360° - Industrial Design & Innovative Lighting

Avant-Garde Lighting: Discover the IN THE TUBE and IN THE TUBE 360° Collections by DCW Éditions

DCW Éditions, renowned for its commitment to innovation and high-quality design, presents two revolutionary lighting collections: IN THE TUBE and IN THE TUBE 360°. Designed by acclaimed architects Dominique Perrault and Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost, these collections reinterpret traditional lighting with a modern, industrial edge.

What makes the IN THE TUBE 360° collection unique?

The IN THE TUBE 360° collection stands out for its ability to deliver homogeneous 360-degree lighting along the entire length of the tube. Ideal for a wide range of indoor and outdoor spaces, each luminaire integrates a borosilicate glass reflector and a fully enclosed LED light source. Available in various lengths (40 cm, 70 cm, 100 cm, 160 cm), these luminaires can be installed as pendants, wall lights, or ceiling fixtures, offering maximum flexibility.

IN THE TUBE 360°: homogeneous lighting along the entire tube

Thanks to an integrated LED source housed in an aluminum profile and protected by a borosilicate glass tube, the IN THE TUBE 360° collection diffuses a continuous, uniform 360-degree light without interruption along the entire luminaire.

Dimensions and proportions: a key design element

IN THE TUBE 360° luminaires are available in multiple lengths — 40 cm, 70 cm, 100 cm, and 160 cm — as well as in different diameters, directly influencing their visual presence and perceived power within a space.

Choosing the right dimension is not only about length: the tube diameter plays a crucial role in the overall balance of the luminaire, particularly in large volumes or serial installations.

This variety of formats allows seamless integration as pendant, wall-mounted, or ceiling-mounted lighting, indoors and outdoors (with DRIVER BOX, ensuring protection against humidity).

IN THE TUBE: directional, modular, architectural lighting

The IN THE TUBE collection adopts a different lighting approach. Here, the light is directional, emitted from a light source placed inside a borosilicate glass tube, sealed with black or transparent aluminum end caps.

Like the 360° version, IN THE TUBE is available in several lengths — 40 cm, 70 cm, 100 cm, and 160 cm — as well as in different diameters, making it easy to adapt the luminaire to ceiling height, room size, and desired lighting effect.

A smaller diameter creates a discreet, graphic signature, while a larger diameter enhances the sculptural and industrial character of the luminaire, especially in wall installations or multi-light compositions.

The internal reflectors (gold, silver, or copper finishes), as well as decorative metal meshes, modulate light diffusion, creating soft, comfortable, and glare-free lighting.

IN THE TUBE wall lights: classic or angled versions

IN THE TUBE wall-mounted models are available in several mounting configurations, allowing them to adapt to architectural constraints and desired lighting effects.

Depending on the version, the wall light can be chosen in a classic straight mounting for linear, balanced lighting, or in an angled version, enabling the tube to be oriented for a more dynamic graphic effect, whether on a wall or in an architectural corner.

This diversity of configurations reinforces the modularity of the IN THE TUBE collection, suitable for both residential and professional projects, offering true freedom in lighting design.

IN THE TUBE or IN THE TUBE 360°: how to make the right choice?

The essential difference between the two collections lies in light diffusion.

IN THE TUBE 360° favors enveloping, homogeneous lighting, ideal for structuring a space or creating an overall luminous ambiance.

IN THE TUBE, on the other hand, offers more directional lighting, perfect for highlighting a wall, a corridor, or a specific area.

In both cases, choosing the right tube length and diameter is crucial to achieving a balanced result consistent with the architecture and intended use.

Collections as aesthetic as they are functional

The IN THE TUBE and IN THE TUBE 360° collections appeal through their refined industrial design, the quality of their materials, and their outstanding robustness. They naturally find their place in:

contemporary interiors,
professional environments,
demanding architectural projects.

Their modularity, in terms of both dimensions and configurations, allows for bespoke lighting scenographies that are durable, elegant, and expressive.

How does the IN THE TUBE collection compare to IN THE TUBE 360°?

While IN THE TUBE 360° is based on a complete LED lighting system around the tube, the IN THE TUBE collection uses traditional light sources housed inside borosilicate glass tubes.

This series also offers installation flexibility, with options for horizontal or vertical mounting, wall-mounted or suspended configurations. IN THE TUBE luminaires are distinguished by their tubular reflector closed by aluminum end caps, available in black or transparent finishes, and by two types of decorative metal meshes that soften the light for reduced glare.

What are the aesthetic and practical advantages of these collections?

The IN THE TUBE and IN THE TUBE 360° collections are designed to be both visually striking and highly functional. Their clean industrial design blends seamlessly into modern interiors, while the quality of the lighting and material durability ensure exceptional longevity and performance for both residential and professional use.

Conclusion

The IN THE TUBE and IN THE TUBE 360° collections by DCW Éditions represent the pinnacle of innovation in lighting design. Whether you choose 360-degree enveloping light or a more traditional directional style, these luminaires bring a distinctive character to any space while offering unparalleled functionality and flexibility.
