A contribution from Design Squad x Bruno Wickart
🏁 Introduction: More than light – an experience
In the past: neon tubes, glare protection, floor lamps.
Today: atmosphere, identity, focus. Light has become the co-creator of modern working environments. At a time when offices are becoming inspiring platforms for encounters, light also needs to think – and shine.
Design Squad has broken down the 6 most common lighting needs in the office for you – together with our friends from
GRAU and exclusively for the
Bruno Wickart universe.
🧩 1. co-working & individual work – light that moves with you
Lisa (room): “In open-plan working environments, light needs to be flexible and zone-capable – like a team member.”
The solutions:
- GRAU Team Mini: Compact, powerful, perfect for small desks.
Focus light in pocket format – five times brighter than classic lights.
- GRAU Team Pro: For double desks & precision work.
Glare-free, smart controllable, architecturally integrated.
- GRAU Team Cowork: Plug & Play for bench workstations and libraries.
Ideal for spontaneous projects or shared workstations.
Alex (material): “Sophisticated luminaire materials such as anodised aluminium or powder-coated steel combine design AND function.”
🤝 2. meetings – spaces of clarity and inspiration
Mia (colour): “Colour and light go hand in hand. Light must define spaces – not just illuminate them.”
The solutions:
- GRAU Flying: Floating light with 5,000 lumens – flat, soft, creative.
Ideal for brainstorming, agile teams and creative workshops.
- GRAU Team Suspension: The Swiss army knife of meeting lights.
Height-adjustable, app-controlled, 10,000 lumens, colour tune function.
Lena (light): “When a luminaire adapts to the room dynamics, people are also more agile.”
Noah (architecture): “Community zones need visual magnets – light that creates atmosphere without being intrusive.”
The solutions:
- GRAU Falling Sun: Iconic in form, atmospheric in light image.
Individually, as a chandelier or as a track – each version makes a statement.
- GRAU Salt & Fire: Soft glowing points, ideal for lounges, bar areas or café flair.
- GRAU Trace track systems: Modularly expandable for variable zones.
Lisa (room): “We’re not just talking about lighting design here – we’re talking about meeting design.”
🌈 4. identity – light as the DNA of your company
Mia (colour): “Light is an emotional amplifier – you can communicate entire values with a lighting concept.”
The solutions:
- GRAU Sun Installation: Light sculpture for stairwells or entrance areas.
Acts like a sunrise, new every day.
- GRAU Centrepiece Lighting: The digital campfire in the centre of the office.
Central, symbolic, connecting.
Alex (material): “Wood, stone, light – when materials dance with each other, real identity is created.”
🧘 5 Intimacy – for the quiet moments
Lena (light): “Retreats deserve gentle lighting – warm, soft, appreciative.”
The solutions:
- GRAU Globe & Globe Wall: High-quality spa lighting for sanitary areas or staff rooms.
- GRAU Sun & Fire Table: Warm ambient light for relaxation rooms, meditation areas or parents’ rooms.
Lisa (room): “Intimate rooms are not niches, but emotional power centres.”
💫 6. ambient lighting – the quiet foundation
Noah (architecture): “Ceiling light is like the foundation of a house – unobtrusive but crucial.”
The solutions:
- GRAU Globe (ceiling version): Diffuse light, minimalist shape – nothing distracts, everything is clear.
- GRAU Set Focus Duo: Directional spotlights with individual beam angle.
Walls, art or landmarks can be perfectly emphasised.
Mia (colour): “Neutral wall colours in particular benefit from accent lighting – suddenly everything looks more upmarket.”
🧠 Conclusion: When light speaks, rooms listen
Light makes rooms legible, moods tangible and collaboration lively.
