A contribution from the Design Squad team for Bruno Wickart
✨ Introduction: More than just a transition
“Hey Mia, have you ever noticed how good conversations never develop
at your desk – but between door and door?” – Our last team meeting began with this sentence. Intermediate zones: They are the secret stars of modern working environments. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a creative flash of inspiration or a spontaneous laugh on the way to the coffee machine –
communication zones are the new office “living room”. And who makes sure they work?
Light!
Today, the Design Squad shows you how to bring intermediate areas – lounges, passageways, coffee corners – to life with lighting concepts à la Bruno Wickart. Let’s go!
Modern office environments rely on open communication, informal dialogue and collaborative thinking. But this energy needs space – and
atmosphere. Intermediate zones fulfil several tasks at once:
- Promote creative processes
- Strengthen team spirit
- Create moments of relaxation
- Express corporate culture
And the key element?
Lighting that inspires instead of dazzles.
💡 The lighting solution: Falling Leaf
Imagine this: A luminaire that not only provides light, but also
makes a statement.
Falling Leaf by GRAU: A pendant light with soul – curvy, minimalist, iconic.
🎨 Design that stands out
- Three colours: Sand White, Black, Polished
- Organic design language that makes rooms appear soft and elegant
- Sculptural – looks like a floating work of art
- Large lens for a soft, wide beam of light
- Glare-free – ideal for relaxed conversations and concentrated work
- CRI 90+ for brilliant colour rendering – perfect for creative spaces
- Bluetooth & GRAU app – control your light like your playlist
Alex (material genius): “This light feels like it’s made from a single mould. Noble, high-quality, durable.”
1. lounge with attitude
Combine
Falling Leaf with modular sofas, soft carpets and statement art. The lighting effect creates a cosy atmosphere – ideal for breaks or spontaneous team journeys.
2. coffee corner with character
Choose a matt version above the coffee station. Warm light, a neutral background, a few stylish plants – and suddenly the coffee machine becomes a meeting place for ideas.
3. hallway with function
Even passageways can be beautiful. Use Falling Leaf as a strip light. Your team will notice: “The way from A to B has never been so inspiring!”
