Partners in shine: Platek

As we create 24-hour cities to meet our 24-hour lifestyles, exterior lighting is becoming an imperative feature for public spaces and buildings, hospitality venues and even residences. But as the variety of these exterior lighting projects increase, so do the challenges.

Platek is an outdoor decorative and architectural lighting manufacturer with an in-house lighting engineer team, working closely with architects, designers and urban planners to provide in-depth lightscape advice on a huge range of projects. With over 3,500 different products at their disposal, Platek has the experience and expertise to oversee entire projects, start to finish.

Projects such as large public buildings, spaces and gardens have a responsibility to respect the incumbent landscape with complementary hardware, to provide safe and secure passage through low-traffic areas or eventually evolve to become a part of the environment itself, camouflaged in natural or urban foliage during the day, while bringing the space to life at night.

Hospitality projects often demand varied lighting requirements for a wide range of applications. Be it mixing soft, calming temperatures for relaxation and wellbeing, respecting safety and security regulations in common areas or by sculpting the lighting architecture to create sensual, private atmospheres in large spaces.

While for residential applications, lighting arrangements require the flexibility to adapt to multiple lifestyles, creating a comfortable atmosphere for all. All installations must endure a heavy workload, tough enough for the rigours of family life, yet provide spectacular scenery to surprise and reward its inhabitants, brightening up the everyday.

Whatever the project, Platek will be there, lighting the way.
