With its new headquarters at the Mythenquai in Zurich, the Swiss reinsurance company Swiss Re, has set up an innovative office complex in Zurich.
The demand for architecture and high-quality materials runs through all areas – right up to the lighting concept.

Ceiling-integrated, recessed downlights provide the basic lighting of the house, wallwashers accentuate selected wall surfaces – and skillfully stage works of art.

The glass lens of Più piano stages the downlight as part of the materialization of the building, while providing a visible, brilliant point of light in the ceiling.
The flexibility of the recessed spotlights makes it easier to adjust the basic lighting even after the building has been completed. Art objects can be perfectly staged.
