The difference between good and great lighting is in the design

More light does not equal better lighting. The best lighting has from the very beginning been designed to suit its users and to match the atmosphere of the space. Instead of the number of light fixtures, our design begins with the desired outcome.

Light as the architect of night-time

The period of limited sunlight is long in the Nordic countries, which emphasizes the need for additional light. When the hours of sunlight are scarce, it is lighting which creates environments and spaces and brings people together.

Bringing out stories from the darkness

From the beginning, the light designed for a building or a target is a way to express its ambiance, significance, and purpose. In this way, a façade rises up from the darkness as a unique, fascinating story.

Lighting creates energy

Light is more than a number of luxe and energy consumed. Lighting can be used for creating energy. Light accentuates its target, produces comfort and provides an experience for the viewer.
