BMW Research and Innovation Center (FIZ)

The newest models of the BMW Group are designed at the Research and Innovation Center. Project groups with up to 100 employees work together in flexible, two-storey open rooms. Natural and artificial light interplay optimally in all areas of
the building. Its external appearance at night has also been taken into account. The desk lamps specially designed for all of the workstations underscore the corporate design.

    • Gläserne Manufaktur Dresden

      Project

      In Dresden, VW constructs its vehicles in a completely different way: in a production site made of glass visible to all. The light behind the transparent facades puts the production process on stage. Reflectors shine warm-toned, glare-free light
      directly on the high-quality industrial workplaces with studio character and, at the same time, avoid any exterior light emission to protect the adjacent nature park. The light follows the route of the vehicles until handover to the customers. Stage lighting for performances and cultural events complements this
      extraordinary presentation of the automobile.

    • Bugatti Headquarter Molsheim

      Project

      The new Bugatti can only be ordered at the former Bugatti guesthouse.  The building was gutted and fitted with elliptical ceiling panels.  The light corresponds to the exclusive, imposing character and the contrast between a baroque exterior and a modern interior.
