Hue’s Liane ropes turn lighting into architectural art at IFA 2026
Philips Hue unveiled its Liane 360° Rope Lights at IFA 2026, a premium, architecturally focused lighting system that can be hung or shaped to emit a full 360° color wash using OmniGlow tech. A 17-rope, 3-meter chandelier shown in a Berlin loft costs about $7,000; individual 3-meter ropes start at $399.99 and 5-meter runs at $549.99. Hue also expanded its Signe line with new pendant, pendulum, and pole options starting around $319.99, plus Festavia outdoor/indoor lights and new, cheaper TV-sync options. The lineup emphasizes lighting as decor and illumination, with color-changing capability and AI-driven automation that can even integrate with Sonos, underscoring Hue’s design-forward approach—but it remains a premium purchase.
