Software Firm Requested Lighting to Reflect Company’s Innovation
When it was time to create a lighting plan for the new office of an international software firm in Munich, Germany, the Berlin-based architectural firm Kinzo specified lighting products from Light Forms to meet the brief that requested innovation, individuality, and technical finesse.
Guided by Kinzo’s vision of a workspace that feels both customized and distinctly Munich, Light Forms ensured lighting became more than a functional layer — it was designed as a core architectural element and a driver of atmosphere across the entire office space.
The lighting solutions combine statement pieces with highly functional systems. For example, the Serpentine system and MoonBands introduce a contemporary signature, while custom Lightplane 2.5 fixtures provided clear, functional illumination along high-traffic routes. For focused and comfortable task lighting, Light Forms integrated Nova Medium downlights across workstations and meeting rooms.
In the central social zones, a visual focal point was created with the lighting manufacturer’s MoonRings, complemented by a bespoke ceiling rose that was fabricated to a unique UK specification. Conceived as both a technical and a sculptural centerpiece, it symbolizes the fusion of engineering precision and artistic expression.
From this centerpiece, ELOA glass pendants in both Hebe and Haumea versions were suspended, adding warmth and a touch of elegance that set the tone for the wider space. Each lighting decision was carefully coordinated with Kinzo to balance performance with ambience, thus ensuring the company employees enjoy a workplace that inspires comfort, collaboration, and identity — all with a modern finish.
Reflecting on the result, Laura Kummer, partner at Kinzo, noted, “Light Forms’ technical expertise elevated our concept in every space. Their bespoke solutions, especially the custom ceiling rose and feature lighting brought our ideas to light and made the office truly distinctive.”
The Munich office demonstrates what’s possible when architectural vision and lighting design work hand in hand. By uniting technical precision with creative expression, Light Forms was credited with helping to shape an environment that is both functional and inspiring. In this project, lighting doesn’t just illuminate; it defines character, enhances wellbeing, and expresses the company’s identity in every detail.
