Smart light

Spacious areas and clear structures: For the head office of chemicals and adhesives manufacturer Sika in Zurich, the architects at Itten Brechbühl chose products by Durlum that provide homogeneous lighting. The result is a highly effective look to the ceilings: round “Lumeo®-R” pendant luminaires were suspended at different heights using metal “Tomeo®-R” elements and combined in fresh green tones to create a truly playful overall configuration.

Thanks to its ventilation perforations and the use of mineral wool, “Tomeo®-R” lowers energy consumption while also dampening background noise. Moreover, the “Lumeo®-R” luminaires rely on LED technology and are therefore highly efficient, hardly protrude from the ceiling and are as light as they are striking. Available as flush-mounted, ceiling mounted or pendant luminaires and in a wide range of sizes, the round lighting unit can be easily integrated into a variety of architectural styles. The visual appearance has also been emphasized, as the “Lumeo®-R” boasts a high-grade finish made of flexible Durosatin®. In the offices, the square “Lumeo®-Q” illuminated surfaces and the “dur-Solo® Active” raft ceiling ensure even illumination and a pleasant ambient climate thanks to their thermal conductivity. (am)
