How does light provide creative atmosphere?
Creating drama with contrasts
During working hours, changes in perspective have a stimulating effect and contribute to inspiration between phases of concentration. Stimulating accent lighting creates a contrast to the uniform brightness at workstations, helping to create more private zones for reflection or for intensive, creative discussions. Brilliant accents emphasise details of the interior and provide easy indentification of seating areas or information panels.
Creating focal points with vertical accents
Vertical lighting on wall panels provides pleasant lighting levels and also good legibility for discussions and creative meetings. Spotlights may be used as an alternative to wallwashers, for example with oval light distribution. With an angle of incidence of approximately 30° these deliver glare-free, attractive focal emphasis. Such vertical accents also create a wide spatial impression and optimise the feeling of brightness.
Defining private zones with horizontal accents
Individual horizontal accents create strong contrasts in the room for private, more secluded zones that support concentrated reflection or working through ideas. This lighting also enables sufficient lighting levels for reading. The accents also achieve high-contrast modelling of the interior and brilliance on surfaces.
