During Platinan’s concept phase, there was a need to create a minimalistic luminaire – and Notor 36 was born. The luminaire blends into the ceiling and accentuates the unique and modern architecture of the building. The challenge of Notor 36 was to find the perfect balance between design, lighting comfort and energy efficiency. By stepping outside the box, we found the ideal solution.

Clients, suppliers, and installers – Platinan was built on trust and strong collaboration between many different operators. Close dialogue and flexible cooperation over a long period of time have been essential to meeting the different needs and overcoming all logistical challenges. In close collaboration with PEAB and Elektro-Centralen, we’ve installed 12 800 luminaires and 5 kilometres of spotlight track where every delivery has been carried out with the utmost precision.

Nothing is more unnecessary than a luminaire being switched on when no one is around. This is why all our luminaires can be equipped with lighting control via presence detection or pre-programmed lighting solutions to reduce unnecessary energy consumption and conserve the Earth’s resources. Smart using of energy is an excellent opportunity to make a difference and reduce the energy consumed by our luminaires. That is why energy efficiency is one of four action areas in our new sustainability promise – for good light through the years.

The phase-out of mercury-based light sources has now begun within the EU. Replacing conventional fluorescent tubes for high-quality LED or rebuilding them to meet today's standards entails increased energy savings and an improved light environment. Let us guide you towards more sustainable lighting solutions and potential energy savings (link in bio).

Upgrading and updating your lighting facility to meet tomorrow's demands results in significant energy savings and a decreased environmental impact. For example, last year, our colleague David Schönström at Fagerhult Retail, helped a customer reduce their operating costs by 4.5 million euros and greenhouse gas emissions by 8000 tonnes annually. Updating to energy-efficient LED technology can help reduce your energy consumption by more than 50%. Do you wish to take steps toward a more sustainable and energy-efficient future? Feel free to contact us at Fagerhult.

60 000 square meters, 12 800 luminaires and 5 kilometers of spotlight tracks. On behalf of Vasakronan, Fagerhult has created a wide range of custom solutions for Platinan, from the Skybar down to the garage. Platinan is a building for many purposes where every unique environment offers a unique lighting solution. With the right light for the tenants, every luminaire is placed to provide light only when needed – smart and energy efficient. 📷 @bjorn_ceder

“It became clear that when many people with different expertise are challenged to think in new ways; then really big things can happen,” says Cecilia Niva. “Many small changes will make a huge difference to the result. The work with Kvisten has given us knowledge, experience and inspiration – and optimism – which we take with us into future projects.”

For us, circularity is the only straight way forward. Our Re:Furbish initiative updates yesterday’s designs and technologies with today’s advances and innovations to meet tomorrow’s demands. With new LEDs and intuitive lighting control, a lot of energy can be saved while the lighting can be adapted to the business's current needs and improve light quality and comfort. Circularity is one of four action areas in our new sustainability promise – for good light through the years.

To us, good design is a matter of sustainability and longevity. Our core principle is to take away everything that is not necessary and make the design as clean and thought-through as possible. Kvisten is a result of this: a pendant that will add a natural, Scandinavian look and sophisticated atmosphere to any office environment.

The materials from which our products are made form an essential part of our total climate footprint. By 2030 we want all new products to be made of renewable or recycled materials. Therefore we strive towards using as pure materials as possible and Kvisten is made of certified wood sourced from sustainable forestry. 77% reused and renewable The proportion of recycled and renewable material is 77 % of Kvisten’s total weight.

Situated in the heart of Gothenburg, we find Platinan – one of our greatest innovation projects. With over 60 000 square meters, the building has become a new landmark with offices, hotels, and venues, all commissioned by the real-estate company Vasakronan. The unique architecture makes Platinan special in many ways – from its size and construction to its focus on sustainability and lighting comfort. Together with the natural light, each luminaire has been carefully placed only to bring light where it's needed.

When starting this process, our goal was set on creating a pendant with minimal climate footprints. We set all compromises aside and learned that a sustainable mindset doesn’t necessarily mean holding back. Instead, we are heading forward, with smarter ideas, higher efficiency, better design, and a more optimistic belief in future innovations. ≤144 lm/w High efficiency is always top of mind for us, and Kvisten is no exception.
