A petrol and service station of the future has opened near to Munich, Germany. The station offers a diversity of new fuelling options. The inverse gabled roof seen from afar is illuminated by ERCO.

When it comes to educational buildings, lighting planners face the challenge of lighting large, extensively used rooms cost-effectively. That was also the case in the auditoriums of the Neubrandenburg University of Applied Sciences where ERCO downlights have been used.

The Pinacoteca di Brera art gallery in Milan is currently restructuring its rooms with a new approach to exhibitions involving a series of “Dialogues” between large paintings with related religious themes. Thanks to ERCO LED lighting each masterpiece becomes more uplifting.

The new speciality market of gastronomic food supplier FrischeParadies in Stuttgart uses a differentiated lighting concept based on ERCO spotlights and downlights.

The museum for city history focuses on the culture of brewing in Hamburg with a special exhibition featuring a guidance system of striking graphics and pinpoint accent light from ERCO.

Germany's most celebrated chef, Alfons Schuhbeck, offers a realm of gourmet experiences in Munich. At the heart is his spice shop that replicates an Oriental bazaar, with flavour creations presented in ERCO LED light.

The German Museum of Technology in Berlin is one of the largest museums of its type. Its lighting was recently upgraded to ERCO LED technology. The result – improvements in efficiency and optimisation of light.

The penetrating life-look that fixates visitors from the darkness of the wall-mount could be unsettling in its intensity, yet it is only upon much closer observation of this over-sized portrait that it becomes clear that the artwork is not a photograph but rather an oil painting. The almost sculptural effect of the hyper-realistic artwork of Matthew Penn is the pinnacle of complete perfection in the Chiaroscuro style, which naturally works with dramatic contrasts between light and dark, helped, with excellent effect, by the precision accentuation delivered by ERCO spotlights. Matthew Penn is now proud, as is ERCO, that these exhibits are to be showcased at an event in the historic rooms of the Palau Robert in Barcelona from 23 September – 9 October 2016.
