COMPOSITION GOURMANDE, the highlight of this exhibition, is a work composed of 14 panels in PMMA, on which are fixed about twenty multicoloured "delicacies" in a rainbow shade. Tribute to women from all over the world in all their diversity. This work occupies a complete wall area, and is illuminated by 14 projectors creating a magical play of shadows.

Accompanying this installation, several ceramic works and a grandiose plaster sculpture are displayed in the exhibition hall.

DAMIER, organic shape of ceramic tiles in four colours red, yellow, black, gold. Placed on the ground, it follows the relief.

GUIRELANDE, multicoloured ceramic balls suspended in descending order, a way to brighten up the environment all year round.

THOUSANDS of BITS, a series of multicolored ceramic balls. Each ball is a real assembly of small pieces of clay covered with ceramic. Long realization time, high risk of implosion at the time of cooking. Each of them remains fragile despite their mass and compact shape. They fascinate, they attract, but won't they explode and spread their content around them?

OSCAR, a sculpture formed by a stack of 3 blocks of plaster, can be compared to the skeleton we used to have in our classrooms. This one was most often held in standing in a corner, observing us, subject to our stupidest jokes, but allowing everyone to discover a strange and inaccessible world. Like that skeleton from our childhood....

LE PETIT POUCET (series of 10 white plaster balls)
Like the Little Thumb that seeks its way... Small white pebbles, bigger and bigger, have been laid out to find it... Remove one, and you will be lost.

4 SCULPTURES
These small plaster sculptures are part of a personal "dictionary". Each sculpture represents a word, an idea, like an alphabet that is built up little by little to obtain a sequence of words that can be associated with each other to compose a message.

QUEEN OF SHEBA An evocation of this mythical kingdom in the south-west of the Arabian Peninsula and of the particular architecture of the houses that protect its inhabitants from the sun's rays while preserving a certain freshness. One day, a queen lived there, and captured the heart of a wise king. l'homme…

MARTIALE RIGIDITY:  That day, I lacked inspiration and raw material... After a little trip in the trash, I came out with an empty bottle of whisky, hence this massive and straight parallelepipedal shape of an unfailing authority.

TROIS PETITS SUISSES: This was the time when my children ate astronomical quantities of multicoloured creamy cheese called petits suisses at every meal, most often three by three, opening them simultaneously and then dipping the spoon alternately into each of them...

THE CLOWN: Today the white clown is sad. He has his hat on backwards, but his eye remains sharp, open to the world, ready to catch the slightest thrill...

They are vividly showcased and presented with the most important data in a concise manner on our website.

All highlights at a glance.

Zumtobel. The Light.

Not only does it offer homogeneous lighting for rooms, corridors and conference rooms, it is also ideal for accent lighting of individual seating areas or workplaces. In addition, it is low-key and fits into any architectural environment. The best thing about it: Some PANOS infinity luminaires also come with tunableWhite technology – for even more natural artificial light.

All the facets of PANOS infinity

Zumtobel. The Light.

The LIGHT FIELDS evolution is available in several versions. As a pendant, surface-mounted, built-in or free-standing luminaire. But one thing is always the same: its minimalist and unique design. One that comes with innovative technologies, to ensure perfect, glare-free light. Everything you want in contemporary office lighting.

Minimalist design in four models

Zumtobel. The Light.

A luminaire that makes an impression with its linear and geometric design. And it’s exactly that which makes it a good choice for any office architecture. And gives it a light and streamlined look. A plus point: There are luminaires in four different colours – white, silver, black and bronze – each with glossy or matt reflectors. For the right lighting effect in any office.

More about the design icon

Zumtobel. Das Licht.

No sooner said than done. In order to supply the right lighting for any working day situation, Zumtobel transformed the headquarters into a tunableWhite project. Thanks to the LITENET hlighting management system, the employees are now able to adjust the light exactly to their needs. The luminaires installed include SLOTLIGHT infinity, LIGHT FIELDS, ONDARIA and CAELA.

Discover tunableWhite in action

Zumtobel. The Light.

That’s what the new headquarters of one of Milan’s largest logistics companies looks like. A dark 1970s building has been transformed into a modern, open and transparent complex. The main components: aluminium, glass, stone. Zumtobel was particularly inspired by the building’s large-scale use of glass when designing the lighting solution. One that combines artificial light with daylight. And that uses the MIREL evolution and PANOS infinity dimmable luminaires.

Historical meets modern

Zumtobel. The Light.

For 150 years, architects have been designing furniture and luminaires to complete their constructions, but unlike the furniture of the Viennese Secession, Art Deco, Bauhaus or Modern movements, the architects' furniture from the 1960s to the present day has not been studied much.
Through prototypes, unique pieces, limited editions or large series, the exhibition invites visitors to discover the furniture production of architects from 1959 to the present day.

VorteXX
Zumtobel implemented the VorteXX lighting sculpture in collaboration with Sawaya & Moroni, following an idea developed jointly by architects Zaha Hadid and Patrik Schumacher. VorteXX is a perfect symbiosis of organic lines and a surprisingly dynamic modulation of light colours. This impressive design is based on the vision of an infinite ribbon of light. Its charismatically curved outlines remind the beholder of a double helix and seem like a continuously flowing form – weightless, impulsive and radiant.

„Wir freuen uns sehr, für unsere Kunden mit dem neuen Lichtzentrum Zürich eine zukunftsorientierte Plattform geschaffen zu haben, die von Licht bis hin zu IoT-Lösungen alles zeigt. Die finalen Räumlichkeiten begeistern und laden ein, gemeinsam mit unseren Kunden Lichtlösungen zu diskutieren und zu gestalten. Es ist ein Ort, an dem Licht erlebt werden kann und es ist uns enorm wichtig, dass wir unseren Kunden dieses Licht-Erlebnis vermitteln können“, so Marc-André Rusch, Geschäftsleitung Zumtobel Schweiz.

Präsentation SUPERSYSTEM integral collection mit EOOS-Designer Harald Gründl
Anlässlich der Eröffnung präsentierte EOOS-Designer Harald Gründl aus Wien, Österreich, die neue Zumtobel-Produkt-Kollektion SUPERSYSTEM integral collection mittels eigens dafür entworfenen Wandreliefs, die als Ausstellungsstücke im neuen Lichtzentrum verbleiben. Die von EOOS entworfene SUPERSYSTEM integral collection von Zumtobel gibt Lichtplanern ein Werkzeug für exzellente Lichttechnik an die Hand, darauf ausgerichtet, die Lichtquelle nahezu unsichtbar zu machen.

Faszination Licht
In den neuen Räumlichkeiten zeigt die Zumtobel Group das breite Produktportfolio und die Kompetenz der Marken Zumtobel (Indoor) sowie Thorn und Hess (Outdoor): Licht für spezifische Anwendungen, professionelle Lichtlösungen und die dazugehörigen Services. Die neue Art der Produktpräsentation in Kuben setzt besondere räumliche Akzente und gliedert sich nach Anwendungsbereichen. Eine völlig neue Möglichkeit in der Interaktion mit dem Kunden bietet der flexibel bespielbare Teil des Lichtzentrums, in dem kundenspezifische Lichtlösungen für Industrie und Büro variabel präsentiert werden können.

Besonderes Glanzstück in der Ausstellung ist das Zumtobel Masterpiece des US-amerikanischen Stararchitekten Daniel Libeskind, das hinter der Glasfassade schon von außen sichtbar ist.

Wie in allen Zumtobel Lichtzentren bilden der Licht-Erlebnisraum (Faszinosum) und die Brand-Wall ein eindrucksvolles Entree und lassen den Besucher gleich zu Beginn der Faszination des Lichts folgen. Im Licht-Erlebnisraum wird Licht als Werkstoff und reine Materie markenneutral gezeigt.

Einladendes Raumkonzept
Mit der Renovierung wurde der Inhalt des seit 1999 existenten Lichtzentrums – damals von Lichtkünstler James Turrell eröffnet – neu aufgesetzt. Grundidee des neuen Lichtzentrums in Zürich ist ein offener und in Teilen flexibel bespielbarer Raum, dessen unterschiedliche Themenbereiche die Nutzer dazu einladen, sich auszutauschen und zu vernetzen. Das neue Lichtzentrum ist für Kunden und Mitarbeiter eine lebendige und dynamische Begegnungszone – ein Ort der Inspiration, der zugleich Raum zur Präsentation der neuesten Produkt- und Systeminnovationen sowie smarter Lichtlösungen bietet.

Die Idee der Zumtobel Lichtzentren entstand vor mehr als 25 Jahren aus dem Gedanken heraus, einen Ort zu schaffen, an dem das beste Licht für eine bestimmte Anwendung erlebbar wird – dieser Unternehmensphilosophie folgt auch das neue Lichtzentrum in Zürich.

One of the flattest surface-mounted luminaires in our range. With very high lighting efficiency. No wonder then, that MIREL evolution, which was developed jointly with the STUDIO AMBROZUS design office, is a frequently used luminaire – above all for office and educational lighting. Whether as an individual pendant version or a continuous row with loop-through wiring. It meets with approval for new build projects thanks to the wide variety of modules and variants, but is also just the right solution for refurbishment projects. In standard and slim designs, easy and cost-effective 1:1 replacement of the old fluorescent lamp technology is possible without additional effort. Simply remove the old luminaire and insert the new luminaire.

Discover the most progressive shape of grid luminaires

Zumtobel. The Light.

It can be flush-mounted, surface mounted or integrated as a pendant luminaire – yet never distracts from the architecture. Available in three different sizes, the luminaires, when grouped together, give the impression of a pleasant illuminated ceiling. It was designed together with STUDIO AMBROZUS.

Discover the timeless classic

Zumtobel. The Light.

Whether installed around a corner, in the ceiling or along a wall – it is seamlessly integrated. We also supply it as a pendant luminaire. With SLOTLIGHT infinity's slim shape and integration in the wall, it is possible to see room geometries more clearly and redefine room zones, creating an uncluttered ceiling look and ideal lighting of the rooms. It meets with approval in many universities and schools.

Zumtobel. The Light.

A study by the University of Aalborg has shown the motivation behind the use of light by teachers as a learning support and structuring element in lessons. At the push of a button, the different lighting scenes of the ONDARIA II tunableWhite luminaires immerse the classrooms of the Herstedlund School in Denmark in an atmosphere which is conducive to learning. Bright or dimmed, with stimulating blue share or with cosy reddish scene. A perfect pilot project!

In teaching or advisory roles, employees from Zumtobel support educational institutions such as the technical universities in Graz, Darmstadt and Liechtenstein. At the renowned Central Saint Martins University of the Arts in London, Zumtobel recently collaborated with students, experts and architectural studios on an innovation research project. At the end of the project, the top five students selected from the group of 60 were invited by Zumtobel to visit its headquarters in Dornbirn – for a meeting that would benefit both sides.

Zumtobel. The Light.

The new Zumtobel microsite showcases the potential benefits of the various light colours, luminance levels and control options – and demonstrates how the emotional qualities of natural white light can be perfectly captured indoors. Whether the solution is used in office environments, shops, industry or even museums, the light will not only adapt to whatever people are doing and their mood but also complement the spatial setting.

This results in a feeling of cosiness, with the light aiding concentration and helping to ensure that everyone’s needs are met – visually, emotionally and biologically.

tunableWhite – from warm to cool with every possible shade in between

Zumtobel. The Light.

The system adapts to suit the application and architecture, providing horizontal, vertical, accent and indirect lighting – all of the tools that a lighting designer needs. The collection boasts outstanding glare suppression with the sophisticated aesthetic of renowned Austrian design studio EOOS.
