Stairway for InTime

Our installation for InTime in Buchholz, Hamburg follows the entire centre axis of their spiral stairway. Thirty-seven eigth-meter long stainless steel rods, holding approximately one-hundred porcelain leaves are lit by eight recessed 15W LED spots and four pendant LED spots from four meters.

Designed with a sustainable approach and appreciation for functional aesthetics, InTime’s logistics building stands out from the typical grey industrial building landscape, with its modern architecture and flattering silhouette.

With the aim of finding the perfect lighting for his new headquarters, company owner Christoph Gienow visited the Light + Building 2018 trade fair in Frankfurt. He chose an extra long version of Leaves to adorn their massive spiral staircase. Three Thincut were chosen to illuminate the conference table and create a visual continuity between the stairwell and conference room.
