Today we approach the choice of lighting more consciously than in the past. The appearance of a luminaire still matters, but we pay even more attention to its functionality or individual parameters. We get our knowledge from various sources, including directly from manufacturers. The AQForm brand, wanting to share its knowledge and experience - has opened a Research and Development Center and showroom.
Designing a house is not only interior design, but also a whole series of other activities that translate into the whole arrangement. This is also the case with lighting. Every room from the kitchen to the dressing room has completely different light requirements. One accentuates, another illuminates the whole and the third has a working function. Where should we get our knowledge then? From experts who have the opportunity to participate in training courses. And such a space has been made available for architects and designers by the AQForm brand.
A place for research, analysis and development
The Research and Development Center is nothing more than a laboratory where the main character is light. It is here that its parameters and, above all, its safety are studied. On the one hand, this place, allows with even greater attention to the development of new families of luminaires, and on the other - it will allow the work of even more specialized equipment for the study and testing of products under development. The center is expected to give access to expanding knowledge about lighting, its impact on well-being and health.
In creating the Research and Development Center, we wanted to create a platform to expand awareness of lighting issues for our employees, as well as for architects, designers or students. We would like this place to be inspiring both for architects already active in the industry and for young designers, students who are just beginning their adventure with lighting design. Light is a very expansive subject. That's why we plan to organize a space where different aspects of lighting will be shown in a creative way," says Wojciech Starowieyski, CEO of AQForm.
Theater of light
Theshowroom with AQForm products is a place where luminaires are meant to play specific roles. The AQForm team is responsible for the design of the entire space. The goal was to create a space that explains how light works and its impact on our everyday environment. The result is a space that can be viewed from multiple perspectives. Which allows you to show and compare many different functions at the same time: from commercial applications, typical of restaurants, stores and hotels, through cozy home interiors, to office solutions. The exterior is neutral, the functional zones attract with saturated colors. Colors that come alive in the light. The colors selected at the level of association are related to the function represented. In addition, in each zone you can find attributes indicating the represented functions - in the home zone, kept in warm orange tones, you will find an openwork armchair, in the room representing the office - an ascetic desk and several shelves. However, these attributes were deliberately reduced to a minimum. This allows us to see how the light builds the interior, how its layers affect the various objects, but it is still the light that plays the first fiddle. We can see how lighting in the bathroom affects daily activities such as make-up, or how general lighting differs from mood lighting.
AQForm is redefining lighting. In their projects they focus on creating multifunctional luminaires, expanding their portfolio of forms. Today, the design of lamps or luminaires is approached more responsibly. There is a long way from design to production, and the entire process is analyzed right at the Research and Development Center.
