Task Lighting

The employees at the Kvadrat Showrooms use ERCO's Lucy model for their task lights. It is individually adjustable, glare-free and, being equipped with modern, compact fluorescent lamps or halogen lamps, it offers economical working light with good colour rendition quality - an important factor when dealing with textiles.

Wallwashing
Together with Kvadrat, the French designers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec designed these tiles and named them simply: "Tiles". Interlocking at just four points, they combine to form flat surfaces, walls and even whole rooms - providing versatility and good acoustic properties. Suspended tracks follow these colourful temporary walls, while Optec wallwashers provide uniform vertical illumination.

Further elements of the lighting concept are: T16 light structures over the work desks plus Optec spotlights for accent lighting.
