The new six-storey ZF Forum is the new head office for ZF, comprising 30,000 square metres of gross floor area. The eye-catching design of its office workplaces showcases many futuristic qualities. In addition, the short distances within the company enable colleagues to communicate directly and easily. As well as its many offices, this building is home to various facilities such as an auditorium and a conference area, as well as the ZF Technical Training area, to name just a few of its special features.

The whole of this new building, constructed in accordance with the very latest and most energy-efficient criteria, is equipped with the LAVIGO free-standing luminaire from Waldmann. This streamlined design, combined with highly innovative technology, correlates with the expectations and principles of ZF. The direct lighting component that delivers uniform light to each workplace and the indirect component that provides a pleasing level of background lighting, can both be dimmed separately. The direct lighting in particular constitutes an individual component that meets the personal needs of each user. As well as these criteria, the LAVIGO free-standing luminaire has an easy-to-reach and multi-functional operating element.
