Studio zweithaler
The design studio was founded
by Benjamin and Markus Pern-
thaler in 2016, combining expe-
rience in product development,
design and architecture. Their
work covers consumer goods,
furniture and lighting, and fo-
cuses on novel solutions, both in
terms of manufacturing process
and consumer usability.
MEDGAS-Technik
Based in Lienz / East Tyrol,
MEDGAS-Technik has been
manufacturing customer-fo-
cused medical products for
international markets for over 20
years. The high-quality, tried and
tested products conform to the
high standards of international
markets.
XAL
The history of XAL goes back
more than 30 years. Since then,
XAL has been working with light-
ing designers, lighting planners
and architects to develop cus-
tomer-specific luminaires of the
highest technical standard with
impressive style and aesthetics.
The quality of the stay in a healthcare facility contributes sig-
nificantly to the healing process. Typically, however, wards
and patient rooms often appear uninviting due to the techni-
cal fixtures and medical necessities. The VITA MED bedside
light system has been developed by the Zweithaler design
studio, in collaboration with XAL and MEDGAS-Technik, with
the aim of creating a more homely environment.
It has been possible to create a pleasant room atmosphere
by integrating key elements, such as the light module, stand-
ard rail unit and supply duct, in a compact, stylish design for
the wall area behind the bed. This slim and flexible modular
system allows lighting planners to use a wide variety of
room configurations. The separate modules for lighting and
mounting rails have a matching form and can be individually
combined and mounted on the supply duct. Due to its com-
pact size, the bed light is hardly noticeable and integrates
harmoniously into the interior design. Separate plug-and-
play light insets allow for simple cleaning and tool-free
maintenance of the system. The light can be controlled via
conventional light switches and the patient's hand-held de-
vice so that day-to-day life in the care facility runs smoothly.
“VITA MED meets the needs of patients, architects and medi-
cal staff in an attractive, functional and flexible manner.”
