UV-Printed Light: How the STUDIO Series Turns Ceilings Into Photographic Art

Imagine a hotel lobby ceiling that is not painted or clad, but printed — a photographic sky, a forest canopy, a brand pattern — glowing with light from behind. That is the idea behind our STUDIO Series: architectural backlighting fused with photographic-quality UV printing.

How it works

Using advanced UV flatbed digital printing, custom artwork is applied directly to the panel surface. The UV-cured inks bond to an opal diffuser, so the image carries photographic color accuracy and durability while the panel still transmits smooth, even light. The result: imagery that is not just displayed, but illuminated from within.

Two ways to specify it

The Aura STUDIO Series brings UV-printed graphics to wall panels with a clean, frameless face — ideal for feature walls and branded environments. The Cloud STUDIO Series takes the same technology overhead, turning ceilings into printed, glowing canopies for lobbies and hospitality spaces.

Where it makes an impact

Hospitality lobbies, themed retail, healthcare wayfinding and calming environments, corporate branding, and experiential spaces. Anywhere a designer wants a large-format image that also serves as a light source — biophilic ceilings in a clinic, a brand mural behind a reception desk, a dramatic sky over a restaurant.

The takeaway

The STUDIO Series erases the line between graphics and lighting. Instead of hanging art and lighting it, you specify art that is the light. If you have a surface that could tell a story, talk to your local rep about a UV-printed backlit panel.
