The first impression counts
In a hotel’s reception area, people should feel welcome and intuitively find their way around. If
appropriately chosen, the lighting in the foyer creates orientation and trust, indicates circulation
routes and makes waiting areas appealing and relaxing. In addi-tion, lighting in the lobby fulfils a
representative role: It creates ambience and gives the place identity.
Architecturally, entrance halls are usually spacious and convey a multitude of information. To
ensure that the areas are visually perceived as separate, different lighting zones are suitable.
For example, clear, activating lighting can be selected around the reception counter so that it
is immediately recognisable as a central point of contact. A warm, cosy lighting atmosphere is
chosen in front of the lifts, as well as in the hotel bar, or waiting areas.
Finally, the hotel’s foyer is also a workplace. Sufficient brightness and glare-free luminaires en-
sure good conditions for VDU work and filling out forms. The different requirements are com-
bined in a flexible lighting solution, e.g., in the slim MOVE IT 25 system. Spot luminaires such
as JUST and decorative pendant luminaires such as TULA can be used in the multifunctional
mounting tracks. The system offers the right luminaire inset for every lighting zone.
Recommendations
• Create lighting zones
• Variable adjustment of colour temperature depending
on time of day
• Create a field of tension (light / shadow)
• Horizontal lighting behind the reception desk
• Glare-free lighting with minimal shadows at the
reception desk
