The Ahmedabad Licht Experience Centre was inaugurated by Mr Frank Schloeder, Managing Director of Hafele South Asia, and Mr Pranav Patel, Principal Lighting Designer at Zion Design.

Comprehensive and High-Quality Lighting

The new centre features a versatile range of Architectural Lighting and Furniture Lighting, each designed to deliver high-quality illumination that enhances interior aesthetics and functionality.

The Loox Range, designed for furniture lighting, ensures simplicity, flexibility, and reliability. It seamlessly integrates into various home applications, from task and decorative lighting to mood and functional illumination. Hafele’s Furniture Lighting Solutions stand out with a remarkable 10-year guarantee, an industry first in India, which reflects the brand’s confidence in the durability and performance of its products.

In 2019, Hafele entered the ceiling cove lighting market, addressing the gap for high-quality architectural lighting that balances design, performance, and affordability. Hafele’s Architectural Lighting Range includes downlights, spotlights, and wall washers, offering ergonomic, glare-free illumination. Built on the principles of 'easiness' and 'flexibility,' the range features plug-and-play assembly, customisable components, and multiple luminaire finishes.

With the launch of our Licht Experience Centre here, we aim to bring world-class lighting solutions closer to professionals and homeowners, empowering them to transform interiors with innovation and functionality.” His words reflect Hafele’s commitment to blending German engineering with deep regional insights to deliver lighting solutions that resonate with the Indian market.

Mr Pranav Patel added, “Lighting is not just about illumination; it’s about shaping emotions and creating experiences within a space. The Hafele Licht Experience Centre in Ahmedabad is a step towards inspiring designers on how the right lighting can transform interiors from functional to truly extraordinary.”
