Our Contribution to Nuremberg Celebrating its Most Famous Son, the Painter Albrecht Dürer: We present his Works of Art in the Best Possible Light …

In 2012 Nuremberg focused on Albrecht Dürer who was not only one of the city's most famous sons but also one of Germany's most important painters.  Commensurate with the occasion, the city renovated Albrecht Dürer's house where he created his greatest works of art. This renovation included  the remodelling of the entrance area of the house where the painting  "Masters of Dürer's Time" by Friedrich Wilhelm Wanderer introduces the visitors to Nuremberg's golden age and shows Dürer among his most famous contemporaries. The painting was digitally printed on Lightpanel frameless and softly illuminates the room. Cool white LEDs make the painting'' colours brilliant and pristine.

A feature about the "Art Triennial":

The second "Triennial" took place at the Kunsthalle Schweinfurt with many Nuremberg artists participating. Among them the artist Christian Höhn who presents his works on Lightpanel frameless.

"Art in Concrete". A Sculpture Garden at Guatemala

During the international sculpture festival "Arte En Concreto" at Guatemala, works of art combining concrete with light panels, light fibres and plexiglas® were created under the aegis of the renowned Erlangen artist Dieter Erhard.

The small light areas or delicate plastic elements form a fascinating contrast to the heaviness of the building material. The sculptures touch the beholder by their gracefulness. An example of the various application possibilities of Lightpanels and translucent plastics.

A New Record for the Light + Building 2012 – The World' s Leading Trade Fair for Lighting and Building Technology: About  196,000 Visitors Came to Frankfurt to Obtain Information About the Latest Trends.

One of the main attractions was the OSRAM stand in the festival hall with a size of more than 2000 square meters which surprised the visitors with a gigantic light sculpture this year. The highlight of the OSRAM stand, the so-called "OLED Globe“ was made by our Nuremberg partner company Axis just like all other light exhibits at the stand. Axis was also responsible for the realisation of the planning which was accomplished by the company's in-house engineering department.

Apart from the intriguing taste compositions for which Peter Maria Schnurr is famous, Iceplex, Wavepanel, Aquaplex and Invision are the secret stars of Ralf Müller’s new oeuvre. With great skill, the well-known food photographer from Dortmund presented the meals prepared by the chef, who won 2 Michelin stars, in the right perspective. The translucent acrylic glass or PETG, through their optical lightness, are the perfect framework for Schnurr’s ingeniously light cuisine. The colourful portrayals e. g. on velvet-like Iceplex in pink, orange or white are a true work of art...

Gold for Lightpanel iso

We were quite thrilled when we first heard that Lightpanel iso is among the winners of the iF material design award 2012. The joy was even greater when we were informed that our product had been selected to receive the gold award!
On Friday, February 10^th the time had finally come: The award ceremony and presentation of the gold cup to our designer team Frank H. Weimer and Rüdiger Szak took place in the festive atmosphere of the   BMW World at Munich.

The presentation of the iF gold award was celebrated by about 1,600 guests. With the presentation of the iF gold award, topping all iF competitions, the iF design awards night was the design event at the beginning of the year. At the invitation of iF International Forum Design, the award winners and guests of an economic, cultural and political background celebrated their success in one of the most famous design competitions.

Frauke Ludowig hosted the event and iF managing director Ralph Wiegmann presented the golden trophy, designed by Herbert H. Schultes, to our winning team!

Congratulations to our partner, the Ikaros Team of the University of Rosenheim, for capturing an exceptional second place in the competition! During the competition, which was held at Madrid this year, 20 international school and university teams competed against each other to determine who can design  and build the most attractive and energy-efficient solar house. On June 27^th, the moment had finally arrived: Rosenheim won first place in the categories lighting, comfort, energy balance and appliance – and missed taking first place by less than one point!

Designpanel was involved in the project with two products:We contributed the two interior sliding doors made out of ICEPLEX “ice white” to the Rosenheim solar house and the bathroom was equipped with wall panels made from IVISION “stem”.
