The Casa de la Luz in Mallorca fascinates endlessly through its unusual architecture and ingenious light design by Occhio. Its imposing effects draw and captivate visitors like a magic wand. When you enter the house, you immediately feel embraced and welcomed. During daytime hours the architecture of glass cubic mirrors and huge window fronts reflects the entire surroundings. When evening falls, it radiates from the interior. Light, architecture and interior design interweave and interconnect, melding into one overall harmonious concept.
Helen Neumann, director of lighting design at Occhio, puts in this way: “We devised the illumination in accordance with our motto, ‘less is more,’ forging a focus in singular zones and setting accents quite consciously through light patterns on the wall. That is how we awaken homes to new life and lend them human warmth.”
Occhio – culture of light
Applying this all-encompassing philosophy has garnered Occhio many distinctions for its designs, now adorning its reputation for highest quality of light imaginable, granting it what might be called “joy of use” , an uncontested spot at the top. Founded in 1999 by Axel Meise, the company started with one simple yet revolutionary idea: to create an end-to-end, integrated light system that provides the optimal solution for every conceivable situation, thereby leaving it to human beings to orchestrate the illumination of their living spaces.
Its unique product portfolio enables private and commercial clients alike to generate in their respective buildings the highest quality of light as if in a theater. Today Occhio numbers among the most innovative, fastest-growing companies in Europe, having advanced from a German design-icon to the market leader of the branch and to a luxury label prized well beyond the borders of Europe.
