| Compact Luxury: AXOR | Architecture | Architonic Posted: 28 Apr 2021 03:00 PM PDT What does the term 'luxury' mean in an increasingly urbanised world? Is luxury something tangible? Is it measured in the number of square metres or abstract financial equivalents? These questions form the basis of a whitepaper titled 'Compact Luxury', which was produced by AXOR in cooperation with London-based consultancy The Future Laboratory. With the approximately 30-page document, AXOR ventures a look into the future of urban life. Its relevance can be seen in the population forecast by the United Nations for the year 2050: in all likelihood, two-thirds of the world's population will by then live in cities, many of them in megacities, and the currently observable trend towards more compact living spaces has been forecasted to increase even more dramatically.

| LUCTRA VITAWORK: Energy saving means environmental protection | Architecture | Architonic Posted: 29 Apr 2021 03:00 PM PDT The consumption of electrical power for lighting in private households can be enormous - immeasurable in large office buildings. Depending on the company, the share for artificial lighting can account for up to 45 percent of the total expenditure for energy purchases. The electricity costs for lighting are correspondingly high. In addition to reducing electricity costs, energy-efficient lighting also helps to conserve resources and thus contributes to environmental and climate protection. With VITAWORK, LUCTRA offers an innovative and design-awarded floor lamp that brings the best lighting conditions to the workplace. The luminaire is equipped with the latest energy-saving LED technology and achieves a natural light impression on the ceiling and a high uniformity of light distribution in the room with the help of direct and indirect lighting.
