Framing light according to Finstral

Sponsored content

Thinking about light and having bright ideas: for Finstral, builders must be able to do both.

“Architecture is the masterly, correct and magnificent play of masses brought together in light.” This phrase by the famous architect Le Corbusier (1887-1965) illustrates the inescapable link between buildings and the light that sculpts and passes through them. The statement made in the 1930s is a motto that is still relevant today and is something to always keep in mind when designing. With his work, the architect stages the presence of light or plays with its absence, creating effects of continuity, guiding the gaze and marking the rhythm of the facade.

Finstral has been designing and manufacturing windows for more than 50 years, and has become one of the leading companies in this sector in Europe. Its decades of experience also comes from direct contact with architects and builders, with whom it studies solutions, develops new concepts and perfects every detail. The common goal is to give shape to light and define spaces through it.

The cover of F_03 "Framing Light" magazine

In addition to improving every aspect of its work on a day-to-day basis, Finstral wants to share thoughts and know-how through a magazine that covers both technical topics and project culture. The third edition of this publication is entitled F_03 "Framing Light" and is designed as an invitation to dialogue. The publication (which can be ordered online free of charge) reflects on the future of windows and doors, presents the challenges of the ecological turnaround in construction, talks about responsibility with Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao, transformation and renovation with Pritzker Prize winners Lacaton & Vassal, asks Belgian designers about their definition of normality, explores the Italomodern architectural era and reconstructs the modular idea.

This editorial experience shows how for Finstral, doors and windows are much more than just products. It also shows how the company is interested in the circulation of ideas and follows the contemporary debate, with the aim of concrete and constant improvement.
