Year

As part of the renovation of the entrance hall and the grand staircase, the recessed luminaires from the 1980s were removed. Drawing on the still-existing original fixtures from the 1930s, we developed new large glass pendant luminaires together with Christ & Gantenbein Architekten. A particular challenge was the production of the heavy glass shade and achieving the high light output required.
