LUCTRA® light in the architecture firm AIX

Satisfaction and good working conditions as key factors

AIX is one of Sweden’s biggest architecture firms, with headquarters in Stockholm. Its office is characterised by a creative and dynamic environment, where flexible cooperation and high expectations for the deliverables are ever-present. AIX prioritises sustainability and protection of valuable resources, both in their projects and their own office. The office’ design is pleasant and clear. However, AIX focuses primarily on the people. Employee satisfaction and good working conditions are extremely important for the company.

AIX operates in four different business areas, which often entails interdisciplinary collaboration. As a result, it must be easy to re-organise offices for the respective project team. The workstations are designed to promote individual creativity and interpersonal communication.

AIX’s office is in an industrial location, which makes good lighting and air conditioning a major challenge. That is why they chose LUCTRA®. The new LED technology provides employees with lighting that simulates natural sunlight and lets them adjust the colour and intensity of light. Another important factor is that the lamps do not heat up as is the case with obsolete lighting systems when the buildings get very hot in the summer months.

Since autumn 2018, the local employees have been working under biologically effective LUCTRA® light. Eva Göransson, Vice President: “We want to offer our employees ideal conditions for success and good work. Lighting that the can be adapted to their personal needs is part of that. After testing Luctra for an extended period with great results, the advantages we saw were so significant that it made our choice simple.”

About LUCTRA®:

LUCTRA® is the brand for good light in the office or at home. For this purpose, the table, floor and mobile lamps included in the range provide light which not only illuminates, but also makes people happy, more efficient and simultaneously less tired. This works, because it transmits the right impulses for every situation.

To accomplish this, the professional, biologically effective LED lamp system takes advantage of the latest scientific findings on the effect of light on human beings. It follows the principle of Human Centric Lighting, for short HCL, by focusing on human beings with their personal lighting needs for healthier and more efficient working and living. LUCTRA® light can almost perfectly simulate natural daylight and thus supports the user’s personal inner clock.

LUCTRA® has already received numerous renowned design prizes such as the German Design Award and was brought to market in 2015 by the long-established company DURABLE Hunke & Jochheim GmbH & Co. KG. This company has been dedicated to professional work for almost a century: to its organisation, its processes and its equipment. DURABLE currently employs 700 workers worldwide and has its Head Office in Iserlohn/Germany. All LUCTRA® lamps are assembled manually by expert staff at the LUCTRA® production plant in Kamen (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany).
