PercePtion and

worLds of exPerience

Perception is a highly individual and complex process which

has a significant impact on our feelings and decisions. as

a company too, we repeatedly ask ourselves the questions:

how do you perceive us? how can we succeed in developing

lighting solutions with you that offer you real added value in

your projects? to achieve this, we look into the physiological

and psychological impact of light on a daily basis. in the end,

we want light to support the perception of your architecture

after all.

communicate this knowledge to you, our customers, so that

you appreciate the inherent value. for our aim is not only to

develop and produce technically perfect luminaires, but also

to find solutions for new challenges through networks and

partnerships.

in order to be able to set ever new standards in this area,

we have been collaborating for many years with a network of

architects, interior designers, lighting designers and artists.

Many innovations have been triggered through these interna-

tional project partnerships. the joint development of project-

related special solutions adjusted to individual requirements

is just one important aspect when it comes to intensifying

customer relations. we, too, benefit from the innovative

power of you, our partners, and the way you use new tech-

nologies and creative means. collaborations with artists like

James turrell, Keith sonnier or olafur eliasson and architects

like Jean nouvel, david chipperfield or Matteo thun continu-

ously push us to tackle the frontiers of the feasible. Using

this creative power, together we succeed time and again in

meeting our vision ‘creating worlds of experience’. i would

like to invite you to experience lighting solutions in the ap-

plication areas of art and culture, education and science and

healthcare, as well as, learn more about new developments.

a recent independent survey among more than 1,200 archi-

tects in germany has shown that for them, Zumtobel is the

strongest lighting brand. we consider this a confirmation of

the fact that we have managed to communicate with you in

the language of light, so that we can jointly create lighting

solutions providing real added value. for this is what it is all

about – offering the best results combined with the appropri-

ate communication.

to achieve this, it is absolutely necessary to understand how

light influences the perception of architecture. how can ar-

chitecture be complemented by holistic light solutions, which

suit your architectural expectations and enhance the experi-

ence of the users? to make this process of coming together

as successful as possible, we try to speak in your language.

Knowing the physiological effects of light and developing

highly innovative luminaires and lighting control systems is

our profession. however, what is equally important to us is to

feeling light

a flight of stairs provides the perfect setting, subtly fulfilling an important purpose.

here, in Zumtobel’s lighting forum in dornbirn, one’s perception of light is

sharpened and sensitised. the design is austere and clear, making skilful use of

effects. Just as the stairs, positioned obliquely in the the rectangular floor, are not

simply an access zone, the showroom too is more than just a permanent

exhibition stand, it communicates the different ways in which light can be used

as a design element.
