Light, a source of life - and an energy resource that inspires us anew every day. To new technologies, to unprecedented aesthetics and to a unique way of working together, but above all, to the realisation that we too are part of nature. And as such, we face up to our responsibility towards our environment. With every idea, with every day, with every single luminaire.

The right light at the right time Human Centric Lighting (HCL) is a lighting technology that aims to improve people's well-being and performance by adapting the light spectrum to the natural circadian rhythm. By taking into account light intensity, colour temperature and mood throughout the day, HCL can increase concentration, regulate the sleep-wake rhythm and promote general well-being. This innovative technology ensures an optimal lighting environment in offices, educational and health centres.

Our products In the development of our luminaires, we are guided and inspired by the forms of architecture and nature. Geometric shapes such as lines, dots, rectangles and circles, which are found in architecture and nature, can be found in our collection, as can the organic shapes of nature.

The Basic family in the shape of a circle guarantees maximum freedom in planning thanks to its particularly wide range of products.

The guiding idea behind the development of this product family was to combine the historically anchored archetype with state-of-the-art lighting technology in order to meet the demands of contemporary architecture.
