Now the future lights up

Here, some of the industry’s leading players come together to create an inspiring and interactive environment. Through our three focus areas – smart lighting, innovative design and sustainability – you as a visitor will not only see, but also feel and experience the solutions of the future first-hand.

This is more than an exhibition – it is a platform where ideas, innovation and experiences meet to shape tomorrow’s lighting.

In collaboration with Andreas Wiil

Future Lighting is created in collaboration with lighting designer Andreas Wiil and his company State of Light.

“For me, sustainable lighting design is about solutions created for people. It is based on a well-composed design built on dynamics, layers, gradients and points of interaction – the interplay with the surroundings and the connection to nature.”

Activities at Future Lighting

Experience an entire day compressed into just 90 seconds, and watch as the gradients and colours shift across the horizon. The installation has been created in close collaboration with Stockholm Lighting.

Experience a nature-themed installation focusing on an alternative, climate-smart material that replaces traditional aluminium.

As a visitor, you can experience light designed to support the body’s biological clock, based on evidence-based research and the luminaires’ spectral light distribution.

Visitors will see poles equipped with smart, connected luminaires. The system, called “Koolmesh”, is an intelligent wireless control system designed for the public lighting market.

Explore the students’ work and get an insight into how KTH’s Master’s programme integrates technology, innovation and sustainability into its teaching.

Visitors can experience a real wow factor and interact with an exciting lighting installation.

Visitors will discover how lighting—from the overall experience to hardware and software—plays an increasingly important role and is becoming more integrated into the BMS of modern buildings.

Come and see how reuse and upcycling work in practice. Visitors can explore and get hands-on with current projects to gain a better understanding of circular production in the lighting industry.

Focus areas

Smart lighting

What does smart lighting really mean, and how do you create solutions that are both intelligent and cost-effective?
Here, we explore how technology, innovation and creativity interact to shape the lighting environments of the future. From the smart home to advanced system solutions – discover how the right lighting can simplify everyday life, save energy and create completely new experiences.

Innovative design

Is a light source just a lamp?
Lighting is design, emotion and function in perfect harmony. Here, we show how light can transform spaces, enhance architecture and create atmosphere. Experience how form meets function and how design becomes a central part of the overall experience.

Sustainability

In a world where sustainability is more important than ever, lighting plays a crucial role.
Here, we highlight solutions that take both the environment and people into account – from energy efficiency and circular material flows to long-lasting products that support human well-being.
