“We want to use light to create worlds of experience, make work easier, improve communications and safety while being fully aware of our responsibility to the environment.”

Ever since the company was founded in 1950 by Dr. Walter Zumtobel, this vision has guided Zumtobel in developing innovative and individual lighting solutions. The objectives at the heart of this philosophy have always been the emotional effect of light within its architectural surroundings, people’s well-being, and energy- optimised use of light. Zumtobel generates unique customer benefit through the combination of technology, design, emotion and energy-efficiency.

The new MAXXI National Museum of the XXI Century Arts represented a target to develop a synergetic strategy in accordance with the development of internal (exposition galleries) and external design.

The target to provide a scenario with the right illumination throughout the day offered the chance to combine natural light with the integration of different lighting solutions. It was necessary to develop a solution which embraced solar shields and dimmable luminaries.

Zumtobel has been involved in the following Gulf projects:
Yas Island Marina Hotel (Abu Dhabi), Burj Dubai, Dubai Mall (Porsche Design, Paul Smith, G-Star, Swarovski Crystal), Atlantis Palm Hotel Dubai
