TRIO 2

Like the TRIO1 floor lamp, the TRIO2 floor lamp seduces with its asymmetrical design and the combination of materials used. It immediately catches the eye with its atypical style. Very practical, this light combines several functions: light , shelf and charger. It is ideal in a living room, a waiting room or a reception hall!

 TRIO2, the first 100% eco-designed light fixture!

 Ecodesign, what is it?

Ecodesign is the integration of environmental aspects from the design stage of a product, with the aim of reducing its environmental impacts throughout its life cycle with equivalent service provided.

We decided to choose a light fixture from our collections, in this case the TRIO1 floor lamp, to identify and measure all of its environmental impacts and to experiment with as many innovations as possible to reduce these impacts.

This TRIO1 floor lamp is equipped with several features: a lighting function, it is also equipped with a tablet and 2 USB ports.

To begin with, an LCA (Life Cycle Analysis)

The Ecodesign Center therefore carried out the LCA of the TRIO1 street lamp for us and measured all of its impacts on the environment, at each stage of its life from the extraction of the raw materials necessary for its manufacture to its end of life.

Impacts of the materials used to manufacture it, impacts linked to its manufacture depending on the production methods, impacts of its packaging, its transport, its storage, its use, its possible repair to extend its lifespan and up to its recycling or disposal at the end of its life: everything has been examined in accordance with ISO 14040 and 14044 standards.

The most impactful stages of the life of this luminaire

 The bulbs:

The LCA of TRIO 1 determined that the stage of its life with the greatest impact on the environment corresponds to its use phase.

The cause: the bulbs! Their composition and energy consumption have a major impact on the environment and represent 92% of greenhouse gas emissions over the entire lifespan of the TRIO1 street lamp.

The quality of our lights gives them a very long life...which therefore requires several bulbs.

Note: the TRIO1 floor lamp is sold without a bulb. Our only lever of action is to advise our customers on the choice of the most suitable bulb for optimized lighting. (link to the instructions "Tips and tricks for choosing the right bulb for your TRIO2 floor lamp" )

The packaging

Packaging accounted for 40% of non-use greenhouse gas emissions.

Thanks to the innovations we made on the lampshade and 3D printing, we have reduced the volume of the packaging by 80%.

Environmental gains: 51% fewer greenhouse gas emissions for packaging.

The tablet

The steel tablet accounted for 24% of non-use greenhouse gas emissions.

We managed to reduce the amount of steel by 83% by using a blend of agro-sourced polymer loaded with wood fibers, shaped by 3D printing. A metal plating is positioned above the 3D printed disc to maintain the original spirit of the wood/metal design of the lamppost.

Making the disc in 3D printing also allows the lamppost feet to be easily inserted under the shelf. As a result, they are separated from the shelf in the packaging! This optimizes the packaging and reduces its weight by 54%.

Finally, 3D printing allowed us to design a hatch to easily access the USB port and its connectors, making its possible repair much easier and thus extending the lifespan of the luminaire.

Environmental gains:

61% less steel in the luminaire structure.

44% less weight of the packaged luminaire.

55% less packaging weight.

USB ports

The 2 electronic modules including USB ports accounted for 7% of greenhouse gas emissions outside of use. These modules contain rare metals with a high negative impact on the environment relative to their size and weight.

When we asked our customers, we found that one USB port was enough in 98% of cases. So we decided to equip the floor lamp with just one USB port.

Environmental gains : 50% less impact on this function

The lampshade

Lampshades accounted for 6% of non-use greenhouse gas emissions

The impacts of the lampshade were mainly the canvas polyphane and the substantial packaging in volume, necessary to protect it and ensure its storage and transport in good conditions.

We have not found any satisfactory solutions to replace polyphane.

On the other hand, we have developed an extremely innovative lampshade. A strip of polyphane fabric clips onto two metal circles equipped with simple hooks.

Environmental gains: this innovation makes it possible to reduce the volume of the lampshade packaging by 80%, it requires less volume to transport and store and therefore avoids _CO2 emissions.

 This is how the TRIO2 floor lamp was born!

All these innovations combined make it possible to reduce

the environmental impacts of the TRIO2 street lamp by 45%

on the Climate Change criterion compared to the TRIO1 street lamp.

From now on, ALUMINOR luminaires will no longer be designed as before.
