Swedbank's International Headquarters Aglow with acdc LED Luminaires

Swedbank’s new international headquarters by architectural firm 3XN is an innovative interpretation if the core values of the organisation: openness, simplicity and care. These have been translated into a modern architectural space with an emphasis on transparency and the creation of a good social environment. Stretching across an entire block, the building takes the form of a triple V structure – a design concept intended to both break up the volume and make it easier to connect both people and spaces. The largely transparent facades bring in plenty of daylight, highlighting the spectacular semi-public atrium spaces.  Natural wayfinding is another key part of the design, with two spiral staircases providing key orientation points.  Social spaces are placed around a central axis facilitating interaction and good internal communication for employees.

Zumtobel Unveils Outdoor LED Modular Lights for Nighttime Cityscape Illumination

Modern LED outdoor lighting today takes into account all visual levels in an urban space and is not just limited to a norm-standard level of illuminance to light up those elements of the nocturnal cityscape in focus. Rather, this is about placing emphasis on the needs of people in living spaces at night. It's therefore worth brightening up urban spaces with spherical light components to create centres for human communication, creating visual points of attraction, and improving three-dimensional awareness. Moreover, special architectural features should be highlighted and complex space structures brought to life. This increases recognition value for a region and creates reliable guidance and orientation, even at night. In this way, security and wellbeing are significantly improved by lighting quality – always without wasting resources or increasing light pollution.

Zumtobel Launches Multisensor for Detecting Light and Motion

Although rapid technological advances are now allowing highly automated installation processes, the demand for high quality manual work is not decreasing. As a result, industrial workstations at which complex installation tasks are carried out require a high illuminance of up to 700 lx. However, improving the quality of light can often result in higher energy consumption, thus higher costs. In fact, however, this high illuminance is only needed at individual workstations; traffic routes or storage areas often only need 200 lx. The solution to this problem has been developed by Zumtobel with its ATIVO multisensor. The principle is incredibly simple: A task-based, flexibly adaptable zone control system ensures that the light is reduced according to time and activity in places where it isn't required. At workstations that demand a high level of concentration to ensure good productivity, the lighting level is increased. For added safety, the lighting level in general areas and corridors is also increased. The motion sensor recognises when people or vehicles are in the corridors and dims up automatically. The ATIVO DALI IP64 Kit that is already available is specially designed for detecting light and motion in even high-ceiling rooms. The contrast sensor system with its intelligent object detection is, unlike normal PIR and radar sensors, not only much more accurate, but also quicker – and therefore less prone to error. The ATIVO Sensor DALI Kit can be used in a wide variety of situations, including sports and multifunction events halls, industrial, production and assembly facilites, even in high-bay warehouses and logistics centres. In these situations, the sensor can precisely detect motion in rooms with ceilings between 6m and 20m.

Zumtobel Lights up Austrian Art and Concert Hall with LEDs

The 1,000 square metres of new space for art, culture and artistic creativity has been built largely underground in Arlberg. The architecture of Jürgen Kitzmüller is very natural and uses a pared-down stylistic idiom. "The rooms only develop their full effect with the right light," explains the architect Jürgen Kitzmüller. With its flexible and modern equipment, the architecture of Europe's highest Contemporary Art & Concert Hall concentrates on the essentials. The wood-panelled concert auditorium has been designed so that the curved walls and cavities behind these produce outstanding acoustics.

Minimalism LED Lamp from Zumtobel Provides Glare-free Illumination

The TIGNUM table lamp represents an elegant addition to any officeenvironment. The appearance of the product is dominated by the clean, straight lines of a housing that seems to float centrally over a desk that is carefully illuminated with efficient and glare-free neutral white LED light. The sketches of Graz-based designers  Benjamin und Markus Pernthaler were immediately characterised by rigid lines and an extremely flat design, thanks in no small part to the inclusion of an external mains adapter. The blend of purist design and powder-coated aluminium profile conveys a clear feeling of quality. Both the luminous efficiency of 85 lm/W and the superior functionality of TIGNUM push the established boundaries, whilst the sleek haptic rotary control adds intuitive handling and the option of stepless dimming. The adjustable lighting element, measuring 107 centimetres in length, can also be slid horizontally to achieve the optimum positioning for every workplace.
