Light Forms was specified by architects Kinzo to deliver all the lighting solutions for the new Munich office of an international software firm, with a brief that demanded innovation, individuality, and technical finesse.

Guided by Kinzo’s vision of a workspace that feels both personalised and distinctly Munich, Light Forms ensured lighting became more than a functional layer – it was designed as a core architectural element and a driver of atmosphere across the office’s 5,500 sqm.

Light Forms solutions combined statement pieces with highly functional systems. The Serpentine system and MoonBands introduced a contemporary signature, while custom Lightplane 2.5 fixtures provided clear, functional illumination along high-traffic circulation routes. For focused and comfortable task lighting, Light Forms integrated Nova Medium downlights across workstations and meeting rooms.

In the central social zones, a striking visual focal point was created with MoonRings, complemented by a bespoke ceiling rose – fabricated to a unique UK specification. Conceived as both a technical and a sculptural centrepiece, it symbolises the fusion of engineering precision and artistic expression.

From this centrepiece, ELOA Glass Pendants in both Hebe and Haumea versions were suspended, adding warmth and a touch of elegance that set the tone for the wider space. Each lighting decision was carefully coordinated with Kinzo to balance performance with ambience – ensuring the office’s users enjoy a workplace that inspires comfort, collaboration, and identity, all with a modern finish.

Reflecting on the result, Laura from Kinzo said: “Light Forms’ technical expertise elevated our concept in every space. Their bespoke solutions, especially the custom ceiling rose and feature lighting brought our ideas to light and made the office truly distinctive.”

The Munich office demonstrates what’s possible when architectural vision and lighting design work hand in hand. By uniting technical precision with creative expression, Light Forms helped shape an environment that is both functional and inspiring. In this project, lighting doesn’t just illuminate; it defines character, enhances wellbeing, and expresses the company’s identity in every detail.
