The creation of an new lighting collection

This luminaire is more than just an object that provides light, it is a statement: for reduction, for material honesty, and for uncompromising quality.

Interview with Creative Director Pascal Amacker

DIZCO was born out of the idea of developing a lamp that appears transparent, almost invisible, but when switched on - like the sun - becomes a luminous disk.

Design of miniaturized collection

"Form Follows Function" - this design guideline is also followed by Pascal Amacker, Creative Director at RIBAG. Especially with the SCOPY Spot, this principle strongly influenced the striving for a miniaturized lamp, which is compact and reduced in its form.

A visionary product is created

«At the beginning there is a vision that provides the impetus for innovation,» says Pascal Amacker, Creative Director at RIBAG. «At VIOR it was the complete new development of a sophisticated light control technology».

Research assignment for the FHNW

The Industrial Design course at the University of Applied Sciences of North-West Switzerland (FHNW) is currently working on the topic POETRY OF LIGHT: MOBILE LIGHT. This project assignment was set by RIBAG and the intention was to encourage the students to focus more closely on the topic of light and mobility and thus «mobile light».

The next chapter of a success story

The story started over two decades ago with the original lamp: TRAPEZ. Together with the advancements achieved through the models of SPINA and SPINAled with regards to technology and form, AROA now marks another milestone in RIBAG’s history.

Light is never finished

With Draft & Craft, RIBAG provides the possibility to creatively differentiate by means of individualised lighting solutions and to optimally match the lighting to both the architecture and the interior design.
