To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the Arkoslight brand has expanded its headquarters in Valencia, Spain, by nearly 1,000 square meters, a move designed to diversify its product portfolio while offering more possibilities for innovation in inspired, experimental and interactive scenarios.
Arkoslight is a premium brand in the field of technical and architectural lighting, with a reputation for excellence in craftsmanship, innovative lighting designs and unique interpretations of light. The brand regards light as a kind of "building material", shaping sensory experience and atmosphere through the interaction between light and space. While pursuing minimalist aesthetics, it also pays attention to the technical functionality of lighting, advocating the perfect integration of decoration and practicality.
Arkoslight's expanded headquarters space was divided into two parts: it was carefully designed by renowned Spanish minimalist designer Francesc Rife and ensured that it remained in the same form as the original space. He gave the upper space a calm atmosphere to show the brand's 40 years of accumulation; the lower level showcases the brand's interactive project "Feel the Light", which aims to give visitors a deep understanding of the character and design culture through sensory experience.
The smoky mirror is the core of the whole project, and through the contrast and interaction of light and shadow, the balance of decorative and technical lighting is demonstrated. The upper floor of the exhibition hall presents Francesc Rife's new conception of the space and shows the innovative way of integrating the lamps. The upper space is mainly composed of black steel and white, continuing the minimalist style of the brand, while integrating the novel integration of lamps and lamps, conveying the brand's unremitting pursuit of design and technology, reflecting the brand's mature and stable image.
Highlights on the upper level include two modern meeting rooms that meet the needs of multi-functional businesses and present the brand's professional image, a unique metal structure inspired by the outdoor environment that recreates the fusion of nature and design, and a dynamic transitional exhibition hall that provides a creative platform for design and architecture professionals to create bespoke installations using Arkoslight lamps. To inspire collaboration and inspiration across borders.
the interactive space on the lower level creates an immersive sensory experience through the "Feel the Light" project, allowing visitors to interact directly with light and gain a deeper understanding of its technical and aesthetic properties. In a cinematic form, this space creates immersive visual and auditory experiences through multimedia and projection, interpreting the important role of light in creating an emotional and comfortable atmosphere.
The project also presents complex concepts such as refraction and reflection of light in an artistic way, allowing visitors to feel the ethereal and vital side of light through the combination of science and art.
This extension continues Arkoslight's design concept of green vegetation as the core. Designer Francesc Rife used vegetation as a connecting element in the space, and the newly created outdoor area was designed as a deep night promenade, echoing the brand's latest outdoor product collection, showing a harmonious dialogue between light and nature.
As an important milestone in celebrating the brand's 40th anniversary, Arkoslight's expansion project not only demonstrates the brand's continued growth, but also marks its innovative exploration in the field of light and design. With light at its core, this new chapter demonstrates the brand's deep understanding of design, technology and human care, further establishing its leading position in the global lighting industry.
