RIBAG’s philosophy is characterised by a pioneering spirit and a passion for lighting aesthetics. The family-owned company’s timeless lamps are designed with a great deal of technical expertise and attention to detail. Kept deliberately simple and functional, the high-quality products impress with their uniform shapes.

Fascinated by the simple aesthetics of the neon tube, Heinrich Richner developed the world’s first design lighting range with fluorescent technology in 1995 and thereby founded RIBAG. Since then, the lamps and lights have been developed and manufactured with a special passion for future-oriented technologies and with a focus on high design quality. Inspiration comes from architecture, nature, or is simply based on intuition, with no idea merely following some passing trend but instead always being carefully thought out.

In the company’s own design studio, its design and lighting-technology experts are continually working on the lighting tools of the future. Numerous awards and distinctions testify to the success of the company and its operation. Alongside the premium “Made in Switzerland” quality, the service concept also plays a central role. In this way, RIBAG supports architects and builders with all lighting-related matters, and offers tailor-made lighting solutions with respect to design, technology, and economy. One of RIBAG’s latest products is the Mesh office lighting system, winner of the 2017 Red Dot Design Award. The characteristic look in combination with intelligent lighting technology ensures tailor-made lighting for both meetings and workplaces. The energy-optimized direct and indirect light components (75 %/25 %), the perfect glare control (UGR <16) and the variation of light colour and intensity (2700 K to 5700 K) also enable demanding visual tasks to be carried out. The graceful Vertico lighting collection is an ideal solution when atmospheric lighting tasks and impressive lighting scenarios are required. The milled and refined metal parts from ultra-pure aluminium and the timeless shapes are fascinating, while the unique focusing capability of the light cone means that even the highest lighting requirements are met. The lighting series also features a variable beam angle and adjustable light colour.
