Secto Design and Signify revolutionise workspace wellness with Human Centric Lighting

The transformative effects of Human Centric Lighting meet premium design for the very first time, showcased by Secto Design and Signify at Design Post Köln during Orgatec, the international trade fair for the future of work. This exceptional combination brings the benefits of daylight to indoor environments, enhancing well-being and performance, while incorporating the warmth of wood into workplace design.

The positive impact of daylight is increasingly acknowledged and supported by scientific research, but at the same time less and less available in our indoor-centred lifestyle. The Philips BioUP technology from Signify tackles this contradiction by increasing the biological impact of light to balance the natural rhythm of our bodies. It enhances the LED spectrum with cyan light, without the harsh blue tones commonly associated with artificial light. This lighting solution integrates a Philips LED into the elegant Owalo pendant lamp by Secto Design, resulting in a perfect fusion of cutting-edge technology with handcrafted design.

The key to ultimate well-being is to align your sleep-wake cycle, which starts during the day. “To feel well, it’s important to sleep well. To sleep well, you need daylight to sync your sleep-awake-cycle” says Jonas Modigh, Business Development Manager Nordics at Signify. The Philips BioUP technology does just that, making it a vital addition to workspaces. This alliance of advanced lighting technology and thoughtfuldesign improves not only well-being, but also employee engagement, mood, and productivity. Harmoniously designed workspaces are also known to attract and retain top talent.
