Zumtobel’s SCENO Luminaire Triumphs at IF Design Awards 2023 in Retail Lighting Category

In the three available housing colours of black, white and silver, SCENO blends discreetly into the salesroom. The different optics bring light exactly where it is needed: on the shelves and other presentation areas. The luminaire is available in four different light colours (2,700 Kelvin, 3,000 Kelvin, 3,500 Kelvin, 4,000 Kelvin) to emphasise the colours and details of different goods. Especially for the fresh food counter, there is also a MEAT module that authentically brings out red tones of food, does not falsify colours and gives an impression of special freshness.

(PRESS RELEASE) DORNBIRN, 16-May-2023 — /EuropaWire/ —  Zumtobel Group (VIE: ZAG), an Austrian company active in the development, production and sales of lighting technologies, is proud to announce that its SCENO luminaire has been honored with the esteemed IF Design Award 2023. The luminaire, unveiled in April 2022, impressed the jury consisting of 132 design experts from over 20 countries. SCENO’s discreet design and versatile applications secured its victory in the Retail Luminaire/Spotlight and Track category.

The IF Design Award, presented annually by a panel of design experts, recognizes outstanding design and innovation. Among this year’s recipients is Zumtobel’s SCENO luminaire, which received acclaim in the Retail Luminaire/Spotlight and Track category for its sophisticated design and diverse range of applications.

Aesthetic Simplicity and Brilliant Illumination

SCENO‘s unobtrusive design allows the luminaire to accentuate displayed products while captivating customers’ attention. Its timeless exterior and clean lines contribute to its appeal. SCENO provides uniform and brilliant illumination, thanks to its specially developed lens technology. Instead of a large light source, Zumtobel employs a row of miniaturized lighting chambers. Whether equipped with seven or 14 LEDs, arranged on one or two sides, the combination of lenses and glare control honeycombs ensures superior lighting quality and effective glare control, providing a high level of visual comfort. With SCENO, retailers can create an engaging atmosphere that transforms functional shopping into an emotional experience.

“It is a pleasure and an honour for us to receive the prestigious iF Design Award. For the retail application, SCENO is the logical evolution of the best features of a spotlight and a linear luminaire. It skilfully masters the high demands in terms of flexibility, brilliance and sustainability in the sense of adapting to constantly changing room concepts in retail. With just one luminaire, it is possible to put various target areas with different requirements, positions and orientations in the room in the right light. The lighting blends seamlessly into the architecture and directs the focus to the presentation of goods. SCENO makes shopping an experience!” — Jörg Linden, Application Manager Retail at Zumtobel.

Versatility and Customization for Diverse Applications

SCENO offers four distinct versions, allowing for design flexibility and various application options. In addition to the fixed central section, SCENO features independent wings with integrated honeycombs that can be adjusted and aligned individually within the store. Retailers can choose between single or double-leaf designs, with seven or 14 honeycombs per side. Depending on the version, the light output ranges from 2,000 to 14,000 lumens.

Tailored to Individual Needs

Available in three housing colors—black, white, and silver—SCENO seamlessly integrates into retail environments. Specifically developed for supermarkets and retail spaces, it takes into account human perspectives, directing light precisely onto shelves and presentation areas. The luminaire is available in four different light colors (2,700 Kelvin, 3,000 Kelvin, 3,500 Kelvin, 4,000 Kelvin) to enhance the colors and details of various goods. Additionally, for fresh food counters, the MEAT module authentically highlights red tones, maintains color accuracy, and conveys a sense of freshness.

Expanding Applications to Office Spaces

Beyond retail, SCENO is also ideal for office environments. With the growing need to bring employees back to the workplace, concepts like New Work, featuring open floor plans and adaptable room layouts, have gained prominence. SCENO provides a flexible lighting solution to meet changing visual tasks and usage requirements in the office. Its light modules are individually rotatable and swiveling, ensuring maximum flexibility. Combining SCENO with track systems offers even greater design freedom. For workstations, SCENO’s integration on a 3-phase track is optimal, while mounting it on SUPERSYSTEM tracks suits collaboration zones.

The IF Design Award 2023 recognition reaffirms Zumtobel’s commitment to delivering innovative and visually appealing lighting solutions across various sectors.

“SCENO uniquely combines the key themes of flexibility, modularity and brilliant accent lighting in a flat and unobtrusive luminaire design. Two independently adjustable wings as well as rotatable 3-phase track adapters or TECTON adapters enable maximum variability. The two wings can also be individually fitted with different LEDs and optics. Thanks to the specially developed optical construction of lens and reflector, the luminaire generates maximum brilliance on the product while maintaining optimised glare control – also for office lighting.” — Sven Scharfe, Product Manager Spotlights at Zumtobel.
