128 TECHNOLOGY / CASE STUDY HIGH CLASS
Zumtobel Lighting, the UK subsidiary of the Austrian manufacturer, has moved to a new Light Centre where lighting design is at the core of its philosophy.
Zumtobel Lighting’s move to upmarket Chalfont St. Peter in the county of Buckinghamshire involved the construction of one of Zumtobel’s most modern and inspirational Light Centres, covering an area of 340 sqm. Easily accessible from London, the new Light Centre is not only a showcase for a comprehensive range of lighting solutions, it is also a place to meet lighting professionals and those with a passion for light and architecture.
Zumtobel presents trend-setting lighting solutions for various application areas in eighteen Light Forums and Light Centres around the world. In Chalfont St. Peter, visitors can learn about innovative lighting application techniques and the innovative luminaires that aid intelligent lighting designs, through application spaces, known as ‘App Spaces’. Besides personalised advice, emphasis is always placed on experiencing light as a medium. The Zumtobel brand is inextricably associated with aesthetically attractive
design and a clear stylistic idiom. This purist design flare is evident at the Chalfont St. Peter Light Centre where Zumtobel’s full lighting design concepts and capabilities are featured. Highly atmospheric centre- stage settings and selective accent lighting allow visitors to experience the ways in which light can be used to create the right atmosphere and ideal lighting conditions in different situations. The emphasis is on presenting lighting solutions using the latest cutting-edge LED technology which combine energy saving with lighting comfort. The design concept of the Light Centre demonstrates Zumtobel’s lighting expertise and knowledge of the uses of light. It also includes a vast array of distinctive features including the first daylight demonstration in which visitors can have first-hand experience of the interaction between daylight and artificial lighting.
“The Light Centre is based on an application cube concept which allows us to provide hands-on presentations and demonstrations
of our lighting design ideas to visitors for every application, including, offices, retail, education, health & care, art & culture and façades & architecture. Authentic staging makes it possible to experience light and its effects in a completely unique way. This enables us to cater to the specific requirements of our customers and demonstrate al-ternative solutions,” comments Steve Shackleton, Zumtobel Lighting’s Marketing Director, describing this new facility and its capabilities. “Our new Light Centre will help drive our concepts, innovations and education even further still. The Light Centre is a direct response to growing business and the need for extra space to demonstrate our lighting capabilities and our ability to deliver personal-ised customer advice,” he explains.
Austrian lighting manufacturer Zumtobel has operated its sales organisation in the UK for 26 years.
