Transformation of an incandescent lamp producer, Osram, into a cutting-edge photonics company
Osram's "World of Light" Exhibition: A Multimedia Journey
Osram, a pioneering lighting technology company, has unveiled its "World of Light" multimedia exhibition – an immersive experience that combines light art, technology, and storytelling to explore the impact of light on culture, nature, and human experience.
The exhibition, housed in Osram's showroom, boasts several notable features. Visitors can trace the company's history in parallel with the development of technology, witness a captivating light cinema, and enjoy a multifunctional event area on the ground floor.
The construction of the exhibition was carried out with meticulous care to preserve the existing ceiling heights. No adjustments were made during the process, ensuring the integrity of the building's structure. The existing infrastructure was integrated sensibly into the new planning, and solutions were found to create new accesses and transitions between the floors, working harmoniously with the existing ceiling heights.
The planning phase, including tenders, began a few months before the 9-month construction time. Remarkably, the entire building functioned without disrupting regular office operations, even in a fully used property.
Osram's "World of Light" exhibition is a testament to the company's commitment to innovation and its rich heritage in lighting technology. From its early roles in electric lighting manufacturing and participation in historical industry groups like the Phoebus Cartel to its contemporary multimedia explorations of light, Osram continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with light.
The company will be recognised for its efforts at Prolight + Sound 2021, where it will receive the Sinus Award. This prestigious accolade is a fitting tribute to Osram's groundbreaking work in the field of lighting technology and multimedia art.
As we look forward to the future, it's clear that Osram's "World of Light" exhibition is more than just a showroom – it's a vibrant, interactive journey that invites us to explore the transformative power of light in new and exciting ways.
The "World of Light" exhibition, hosted by Osram, is a testament to the company's dedication to the exploration of light and its integration into various aspects of life, transcending the boundaries of traditional home-and-garden or lifestyle usages. As the exhibition seamlessly merges light art, technology, and storytelling, it proves to be a groundbreaking multimedia journey in the realm of home-and-garden and technology innovation.
Osram's upcoming recognition at Prolight + Sound 2021 with the Sinus Award further emphasizes the company's pioneering role in the development of lighting technology and multimedia art, signifying a significant stride in home-and-garden and technology advancements.
