Intensity The right lighting level can best be determined by the individual’s visual ability and the task itself.

A sky for the office It is a well-known fact in architecture: The bigger the cubic content, the more difficult it is to guide daylight into the inner areas. MELLOW LIGHT plays with light. It brings the depth of the room to life in the mellow colours of the sky until late at night. Walls and ceilings begin to breathe and give people a renewed sense of outdoor freedom.

“1988 - the birth of the MELLOW LIGHT series. The initial design was a square recessed luminaire with two concave metal reflectors painted white. The light source, a compact fluorescent lamp, was covered by a perforated plate. The white luminaire on a white ceiling created a whole new aesthetic and quickly became a popular design tool for many architects.” Harald Schwarzer Product Manager of the first generation of MELLOW LIGHT

Taking design cues from the previous five generations of MELLOW LIGHT luminaires, we referenced this iconic vernacular to shape the future of workplace lighting.” Daniel Stromborg Practice Area Leader, Gensler

Daylight and an interplay of colours The closer artificial light comes to resemble daylight, the more invigorating the effect that it has on people. Science has often tried to explain this phenomenon, but we can already feel the effect in the mellow glow of MELLOW LIGHT, with the kind of dynamic lighting characteristics that we normally associate with daylight. This is the ideal solution for computer work and in spaces where reflections have to be eliminated and moods need to be created – even using the changing colours of the sky on request. The minimalist look helps the luminaire...
