The fascinating world of Belux so close.

Belux lights - physical appearance and an atmospheric lighting effect

Lights are the most demanding of fittings. Although an important element in any architecture as well as objects of interior design itself, lights are also subjected to great demands on their physical appearance and atmospheric lighting effect. To this end, Belux places just as much importance on the formal appearance of its lights as on the lighting quality and the atmospheric effect and knows how best to use light as a basic element of interior design.

The Swiss company was set up in 1970 by Thomas Egloff. His desire for continuing development of innovative lighting solutions and new types of lighting concepts resulted in close collaboration with internationally famous designers and architects. From the very outset, Belux was prepared to take the risks associated with experimental innovations. The collaboration with the Swiss designer Hannes Wettstein, who has long been a leading light in interior design, has been trail-blazing to the present day. Belux is currently creating a stir in the light market with designers such as Frank Gehry, Herzog & De Meuron, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec as well as Hella Jongerius. As ever, Belux stands for conceptually mature, technically sophisticated and durable quality products and keeps in the public eye by introducing new materials and technologies.

For over thirty years, Thomas Egloff has built the company into an internationally recognised manufacturer of high-quality designer lamps. In 2001 he found the ideal partner for the future in Vitra. This not only ensured the continued existence of the successful company culture but this internationally well-known furniture manufacture also opened up access to new markets, production methods and not least to a network of some of the most important designers of our time.
