The Future of Light Is Adaptive: Zumtobel Showcases Four New Highlights at Light + Building 2026
- 1.LERIMA: A scalable lighting solution for modern working and learning environments, combining uniform illumination with flexible installation options and a contemporary design language.
- 2.MATRIX: A concept study for real-time, task-based lighting provision.
- 3.CIELUMA Move: The next evolution of the CIELUMA light ceiling, infusing architecture with emotion through dynamic, organic visuals.
- 4.PANOS III expansion: Additive manufacturing and a new linear format unlock a new level of design freedom.
At Light + Building 2026, Zumtobel will present a portfolio that merges technological precision with an emotional impact on spaces. Each new highlight is designed for maximum adaptability, from context-aware lighting control to custom 3D printing of design elements.
LERIMA: A holistic lighting solution for modern office spaces
With LERIMA, Zumtobel introduces a scalable lighting solution that combines architectural clarity, high visual comfort, and future-ready technology for modern work and learning environments. The innovative ECLIPSE optics reduce shadowing for exceptionally uniform illumination and minimize luminance hotspots by diffusing the light source. The result is softer lighting and improved visual perception, especially in deep work scenarios.
A fully integrated Zhaga Book 20 interface makes LERIMA retrofit-friendly and ready for smart sensing and communication, enabling a future-proof lighting infrastructure that supports digital transformation and improves energy efficiency through demand-based control. The new mountingGO installation system significantly simplifies installation and maintenance, saves time, and enables flexible adaptation of lighting solutions over time. A consistent design language across all mounting types ensures cohesive solutions across many sizes and variants.
MATRIX: Adaptive lighting for the office of the future
With its MATRIX concept study, Zumtobel pushes the limits of standard presence detection in office environments. The concept study combines multiple technologies in a novel way within a single luminaire to adapt lighting to changing activities in real time. Sensors identify specific objects and activities within the workspace; artificial intelligence (AI) analyses task patterns and immediately adjusts the lighting scene to new requirements. Whether focused screen work, video calls, working on paper, or a creative break, MATRIX automatically aligns lighting parameters to the situation. More than 100 LEDs are controlled directly with pixel-level precision, while the light is aimed as needed at different directions. This context-aware control enables optimal light for each activity, supporting wellbeing and productivity while reducing energy use by delivering only as much light as necessary.
CIELUMA Move: Where dynamics meet emotion
The internationally established, world-record-winning CIELUMA light ceiling gains a new emotional dimension with the special “Move” option. Where previously static light and optional acoustic functions were the focus, CIELUMA Move now adds a new layer of spatial staging through organic motion. Dynamic visuals with flowing forms create immersive spaces that extend beyond pure illumination.
Each CIELUMA Move is a unique design, translating specific customer requirements into distinctive lighting atmospheres, including large-scale organic shapes and optional UHD prints.
PANOS III: Design variety unlocked by 3D printing
With the expanded PANOS III family, Zumtobel sets a new benchmark for customization. New decorative elements for PANOS R150 (recessed, semi-recessed, and pendant luminaires) are produced via 3D printing. This makes custom solutions more accessible and supports sustainability. The ARENA, APOLLO, and AURA designs are manufactured from high-quality, fully recyclable polycarbonate. From fine ribbed textures to translucent color accents, these 3D-printed elements extend the proven design with individual aesthetic statements.
In addition, PANOS III linear closes the gap between a classic downlight and a traditional linear luminaire. Designed by Chris Redfern, the new variant features an elongated silhouette with softly rounded corners and can be seamlessly integrated into infrastructures such as TECTON or three-circuit track systems. With optional UGR < 19 and high-quality reflector surfaces, PANOS III linear delivers visual comfort in line with EN 12464.
“With our Light + Building highlights, we combine technological innovation with our commitment to timeless aesthetics, outstanding functionality, and excellent quality. Lighting becomes an adaptive infrastructure that aligns with space and with people’s current needs,” says Raphael Petri, Vice President Brand Zumtobel.
