INTERVIEW: CRAIG COGUT
The interest in Nordic wellness and the LivNordic brand has been incredible
services, taking advantage of science and knowledge on the wellness side.” In certain areas, such as sleep health
and digestive disorders, Pegasus is able to help directly by contributing ideas and expertise from its other wellness-related companies – such as the Lighting Science Group, a firm developing LED lighting to aid sleep and improve health (see opposite), or PanTheryx, a medical nutrition company specialising in intestinal problems. Alongside Six Senses, Pegasus is
also focused on expanding and adding value to Raison d’Etre, particularly its educational platform (the company runs online spa management programmes) and its LivNordic brand, which combines Scandinavian design, fitness, bathing, treatments and products in a single concept (see p32). “The interest in Nordic wellness and the LivNordic brand has been incredible,” says Cogut. “In addition to the original LivNordic spa in Stockholm, we’ve now entered the cruise industry with a LivNordic Spa on the Viking Star; and we have another two cruise ship spas planned for next year, plus another five on land.”
LIGHTING SCIENCE GROUP
Lighting Science Group is a Pegasus portfolio company developing LED lighting that’s not only energy effi cient but that also addresses environmental and health concerns. Its products are specifi cally designed to support natural melatonin production, improve sleep, boost alertness, accelerate plant growth and protect wildlife. Using patented
technology originally developed for the International Space Station and the US
South Pole Station, the company has created a range of LED bulbs and lamps that eliminate wavelengths of light which disrupt circadian rhythms in humans, animals and plants. Products on off er in the health- and wellness-related Rhythm Series include Good Night™, which uses
spectrum-fi ltering technology to reduce melatonin-suppressing blue light; and Awake & Alert™, which emits a blue-enriched white light aimed at increasing energy and alertness. Resorts already making use of the technology include Miraval Resort & Spa in the US, which has installed Good Night lamps throughout its 116 guest rooms; and, of course, Six Senses, which features Good Night lamps in all of its guest rooms and spas, and Awake & Alert lamps in its gyms and exercise rooms.
