Gerd Pfarré
Philosophy
pfarré lighting design creates daylight- and electrical lighting projects for architecture, land- and cityscape. We are in a position to carry out public, commercial, cultural and private projects on almost any scale. For special requirements we offer customized solutions, and designing light objects in the specific context of the architecture and the task concerned. In our projects, both aesthetical and technical longevity are as crucial as our focus on energy efficiency. Good lighting design enhances the architecture and promotes its acceptance.
