How can light tell a story? In the legendary Clärchens Ballhaus in Berlin, Occhio lighting design combines the past with the present – stylishly staged by renowned set designer Uli Hanisch.
Living with feeling – rooms that tell stories
Design comes to life when it arouses emotions. When rooms not only function, but touch. At a time when we are looking for authenticity and meaning, design becomes a storyteller. Clärchens Ballhaus in Berlin is such a touching place – an architectural time capsule that has been revitalised by modern lighting design. A homage to the past, with a glimpse into the future.
Individual. Personalised. With a feel for space and light
Every room has its own language. Our task is to make this language visible and tangible. During the consultation, we take your architectural circumstances, your wishes and your style world into account – and develop a customised lighting concept from them. With Occhio, we realise lighting solutions that are not only functional, but above all atmospheric – for projects with character.
Experience design – our showroom for your inspiration
Design only unfolds its effect in the room. In our showroom, we invite you not only to see light, but to experience it. Test different lighting moods, materials and functions live – and be inspired by the variety that Occhio offers you. Whether cosy, historic or minimalist – this is where your own design story begins.
Clärchens Ballhaus | Berlin – time travel in the light of Occhio
Right in the heart of Berlin lies an iconic location: Clärchens Ballhaus, a living piece of the city’s history for over 111 years. The famous Hall of Mirrors with its aged surfaces meets the striking, raw rooms on the ground floor. For the renowned set designer Uli Hanisch, one thing was clear: this building does not need a makeover, but a production that respects history – and continues to write it.
The Sento series from Occhio fulfils this role with elegance and technical finesse. It brings targeted light into historical structures and thus manages the balancing act between museum-like dignity and a modern experience. The past becomes visible – and can be experienced anew at the same time.
