Stella
Special design from HOBO engineers
Stepped‑Edge Form
Stella features a precise stepped edge that gives the fixture a defined, confident presence. Its tiered geometry introduces depth and direction, allowing the form to feel structured, balanced, and visually intentional. This articulated contour highlights the fixture’s craftsmanship while adding a distinct character that elevates both modern and minimal interiors.
Architectural Versatility
Stella is designed for projects that require both visual clarity and functional adaptability. Its stepped vertical form integrates naturally into contemporary environments, while the wide range of colors, finishes, and mounting options allows it to fit ceilings of different types and heights. The fixture supports designers by offering a clean tiered geometry that strengthens spatial composition and a modular system that accommodates diverse project requirements.

Sizes
Stella comes in multiple sizes that scale gracefully across different environments. Each dimension preserves the same stepped geometry, creating a rhythmic play of light and shadow. Its sculpted form adds depth and direction, bringing architectural precision and visual harmony to any space.
Variable Heights
Stella maintains a consistent 6 cm width profile while offering multiple height variations to complement different architectural compositions. The stepped vertical structure allows the fixture to scale from subtle layered accents to more expressive tiered forms, all while preserving its signature soft‑edge geometry and cohesive visual identity.
Installation
Mounting Flexibility
Stella maintains a consistent 6 cm width profile while offering multiple height options to suit different spatial compositions. The adjustable height range allows the fixture to scale from subtle tiered accents to more pronounced vertical expressions, all while preserving its stepped geometry and unified visual identity.

Optical Performance Options
Stella is available in two optical systems: a lens engine for smooth, uniform illumination and a reflector engine that delivers higher output with more defined beam control. The reflector model provides stronger light treatment and crisp distribution, while the lens version offers softer transitions and balanced visual comfort. Together, they give designers the flexibility to match performance to the needs of each space.
Reflector Engine
The reflector model offers a more defined beam profile with crisp edges and strong center intensity, making it suitable for focused highlighting and precise spatial accents. It comes in three beam angles—14°, 24°, and 36°—providing a full range from narrow punch to wider general illumination. Its engineered reflector geometry enhances efficiency while preserving the stepped‑form identity of the Stella design.
Lens Engine
The lens version of Stella delivers controlled, uniform illumination with a clean beam transition ideal for precise and refined lighting. It is available in three beam angles—17°, 24°, and 36°—allowing designers to choose between tighter accents or broader washes while maintaining excellent visual comfort. The optical lens ensures smooth distribution and consistent performance across different ceiling heights and applications, all while reinforcing the stepped‑form identity of the Stella design.
Light control
Stella offers a wide spectrum of light color, from very warm tones suited for intimate, atmospheric spaces to cooler whites ideal for clear, functional environments. For projects requiring dynamic control, Stella is also available as tunable white, allowing designers to shift the light temperature throughout the day to match mood, activity, or circadian‑aligned lighting strategies.
Model Selection Notes
Stella offers both reflector and lens models, but smaller sizes require the lens engine due to optical depth limitations. The reflector version, while delivering higher output and stronger beam control, needs more internal height and is therefore not suitable for compact formats. The lens model ensures consistent performance across all sizes, especially where minimal height is essential, while maintaining the stepped‑form identity of the Stella design.
Finishing
Finishing options
Stella’s three‑piece construction and multiple installation models allow each component to be finished independently. The body, canopy, and trimless or recessed elements can all be specified in different colors, using either painted finishes from a wide RAL range or numerous anodized tones. This flexibility supports complex design palettes, enabling precise color matching or intentional contrast across every installation type.
Stella can be specified for specialized environments where precise optical control, independent component finishing, and size‑based engine selection allow designers to align performance and appearance with exact project requirements.
Stella supports highly precise finish selection, offering an extensive range of painted and anodized options—including closely related tonal families such as coordinated browns—allowing designers to match materials, palettes, and project intent with exact chromatic control.
Stella allows precise chromatic control through a wide range of painted tones and anodized finishes, and the ability to combine subtle painted grain textures with anodized surfaces creates exceptionally refined material compositions suitable for advanced project detailing.
Complete Design Package
Stella brings every essential element into one unified system—optics, sizes, finishes, installation methods, and performance options—allowing designers to specify the entire solution from a single, coherent product family. From precise optical engines to extensive finishing choices and adaptable mounting systems, everything required to meet project intent is fully integrated and available within the Stella line.
Stella’s finishing system spans from classic, executive‑grade selections to youthful, vibrant options, enabling designers to specify a single product family that performs equally well in a professional director’s office and a child‑oriented environment.
System Integration
Capsule is fully compatible with HOBO’s broader architectural systems, allowing it to merge seamlessly into SOLID structures or mount within HOBO’s 48V track platforms. This interoperability lets designers unify different lighting typologies—pendants, linear systems, and spot modules—under one coordinated design language. With shared finishes, optical options, and installation logic, Capsule becomes part of a larger modular ecosystem that adapts to diverse architectural programs.
