Workplace Lighting: Balancing Productivity and Wellbeing
As lighting designers based in Berlin and Antwerp, we create concepts that go far beyond meeting standards. Our mission is to design workplaces that enhance productivity, support health, and make a company’s identity visible.
💡 Workplace lighting influences far more than visibility.
It shapes perception, regulates the body’s circadian rhythm, and plays a crucial role in wellbeing. While regulations often define minimum standards, in practice it becomes clear: thoughtful lighting design can significantly boost motivation, creativity, and health.
Natural Light as a Source of Energy 🌞
The most powerful factor is daylight. Studies show that employees with access to natural light at the workplace experience less fatigue and stress. Generous windows, light-directing elements, or skylights are not just architectural highlights, but real resources for work quality.
Using Artificial Light Effectively ✨
Where daylight is insufficient, artificial lighting takes over. But it’s not only about brightness – it’s about quality:
Color temperature: Cooler light in the morning supports concentration, warmer light in the afternoon promotes relaxation.
Glare control: Balanced light distribution without harsh contrasts prevents eye strain.
Dynamic systems: Modern lighting adapts to time of day, room function, and individual needs.
Lighting and Health 🧘
Fatigue, headaches, or even sleep disorders can be exacerbated by poorly planned lighting. Human Centric Lighting – lighting that mimics the natural course of daylight – can help prevent this. Lighting thus becomes an active part of corporate health management.
Atmosphere and Identity 🌐
Lighting is also an expression of company culture. Whether minimalist-cool or warm and communicative – workplace lighting always tells a story. It turns rooms into brand ambassadors and fosters collaboration.
Outlook: From Workplace to Experience Space ✨
Talking about workplace lighting means thinking beyond functional requirements. The future lies in design that turns spaces into experiences: workplaces that energize rather than drain, that stimulate creativity and enhance wellbeing. Lighting is not an accessory, but a silent companion – a design tool that makes identity visible.
