A. Würth GmbH & Co. KG, Künzelsau-Gaisbach, Germany

Free-Standing Luminaire LAVIGO

The Würth Group is a world market leader in its core business – trading in installation and fastening materials. With 70,000 employees in more than 80 countries, A. Würth GmbH & Co. KG is very clearly a global player. Würth AG was founded in 1945 by Adolf Würth. Following his death at a relatively young age, his son Reinhold, at the time only 19 years old, took over the running of the company, ably assisted by his mother. Under their stewardship, the company grew continuously and it is now one of the biggest corporations in Germany. The head office of Adolf Würth GmbH & Co. KG is located in the Baden-Württemberg town of Künzelsau-Gaisbach.

The aim behind the Würth Group’s decision to build a new customer centre was to enable employees to feel good about and at their place of work, and to encourage them to deliver their full potential. Various factors were brought into play to accomplish this objective: the architecture, the acoustics and in particular the design of the lighting system were all of great significance. Würth GmbH & Co. KG considered it most important to use light sources that created an atmosphere of well-being. The LAVIGO free-standing luminaire, as well as being a readily accessible and multi-functional operating element, delivers an optimum ratio of direct to indirect lighting and embodies these qualities very convincingly in a timeless design. Further to this, the purchasing decision for lighting systems was made in favour of the luminaires offered by Herbert Waldmann GmbH & Co. KG.
