Volkswagen AG has constructed a new office building to concentrate
the capacities of IT and Sales on future-oriented technology, particu-
larly “autonomous driving”. Modern, open-plan office spaces have been
created which are expected to form a creative and motivating working
atmosphere for over 1000 employees. The design is based on maxi-
mum flexibility in furnishing to create a range of new, ever-changing
designs for organising the workplace. Only free-standing luminaires
with special features are able to comply with this requirement and the
photometric specifications. Performance in Lighting GmbH has
developed free standing lamps which illuminate the workplace and
the surrounding area to conform with lighting directives. The SL720
free-standing luminaires have an extraordinarily high lumen output
of approximately 20,000 lm. A comfortably lit atmosphere is created
by combining the series with the high and wide indirect section. The
large, brightly lit surfaces of the direct light section in the free-standing
luminaire gives the impression of daylight.
Thanks mainly due to the users who actively contributed towards the
design, the lamp concept has proven to be a great success.
