LICHT KUNST LICHT

Light is energy, and energy is the business of EnBW, the third largest supplier of power, gas and water in Germany. Energy is made tangible throughout their newly opened headquarter complex, the EnBW City, while not only adhering to, but undercutting strict European regulations for reduced power consumption, which also concerns artificial and natural lighting. In the entry hall, the punchy direct downlighting is almost haptic, and a luminous cloud above the reception desk together with water feature walls represent a lighting scheme that strikes a balancing act between evoking an allegorical and sensual experience of energy – and saving energy.
