Folio

Folio is an Italian architectural lighting brand, designed and manufactured in Brescia by Cifralluminio, specializing in edge-lit LED luminaires that distribute light uniformly to the very edges of thin methacrylate and stretch-fabric diffusers. Founded in 2009 out of Cifralluminio's illuminated-signage heritage, Folio produces a fully custom and architectural range of decorative and technical fixtures — suspended, ceiling, and wall luminaires in round, linear, hexagonal, and large-format panel forms — along with patented Spot.Mate and Track.Mate accessories that add adjustable point lighting to its diffuse light. Folio opened its US sales subsidiary, Folio USA, in 2018.

Technologies & platforms

Folio Edge Lighting technology

A laser-engraved light-guide technology that spreads LED light evenly across the entire diffuser surface, keeping illumination uniform to the edges regardless of the panel's size, shape, or reduced thickness.

Spot.Mate

Patented integrated lighting accessory that adds compact adjustable and orientable spotlights to Folio luminaires, combining diffuse and point light in a single fixture.

Track.Mate

Patented Folio track system with modular components that integrate directional spot and linear light sources into architectural runs.

Stretch Fabric System

Large-format Round and Zero luminaires built with a tensioned stretch-fabric diffuser (plain white or custom printed) over an aluminum frame for diffuse, homogeneous illumination.
