Episode XII: Zero Lighting

Architectural-decorative lighting, with a twist.
Now available in Canada and the United States.

Background

Swedish lighting manufacturer, Zero Lighting, bills itself as a company producing lighting for the contract market. CEO Per Gill describes their products as “architectural-decorative with a twist.” The company was founded in 1978 by Per’s father, Roland Gill, and Andris Nolendorfs, who tapped Börge Lindau as their first designer. Once they had both retired, Per and his brother Thomas took the reins of the company in 1997. By 2007, the duo had shifted their focus toward manufacturing more contemporary designs with a list of high-profile Swedish designers.

Manufacturing and Evolution

In 1990, Zero Lighting's operations moved to premises in Pukeberg glassworks, which led to an interest in the possibilities of glass lighting fixtures. For a decade, a large part of the product range was made with this material.

Zero Lighting's collections grew and varied throughout the following years, as 2004 began a new era and a series of new collaborations with renowned designers of the younger generation.

Iconic Products

Elements Collection

Elements is a complete family, originated from Note Design Studio’s fascination for the Nordic mountains and its light. Dawn, dusk, midnight sun. Glittering lakes, wilderness, and flora. Elements simple shapes direct the light, and well-balanced materials give the design elasticity and great usability.

Can Collection

The Can collection, designed by Mattias Stahlbom in 2007, consists of a table, floor, and pendant lamp. These sleek, modern lamps are made of aluminum, and are available in black or white finishes, both with the interior painted yellow. Other colours available upon request.

PXL Collection

The PXL collection consists of a table and pendant lamp. Designed by Fredrik Mattson, it has attracted a lot of attention and can truly be called eye candy. The designer's own words: "The traditional archetype of a lamp form is sliced up and transformed into rings. The result resembles a bit of a 3-D "low-resolution object" with its pixel and edgy character."

Thirty Wall Lamp

How can an LED fixture look great from all angles in corridors, public areas, and stairwells? Answer: THIRTY – a rotating LED light for ceilings and walls, which can be turned 350 degrees to meet the user’s wishes. The angled diffuser of microprisma provides softly filtered light, that together with the rounded asymmetrical shape form a harmonic whole. THIRTY works very well in both formal and more playful configurations.

Par Pendant Lamp

Designers Broberg & Ridderstrale asked themselves which was the best-loved light source of them all. The answer was Par 38, also known as press glass spot, which led to the pendant fitting Par. The designers wish to accentuate all the pleasant qualities of the light source. A warm, glare-free light, with an attractive molten glass lens, which has been emphasized in the shape of the casing, covering both stand and lamp holder. So simple. So beautiful.
