recognition at the Austrian State Prize for Design 2026
SOLENA glass tube luminaire shortlisted as one of three finalists for the Austrian State
Prize for Design 2026 Luminaires from the EDITIONS series by Zumtobel have been recognized at the recent prestigious design awards: The compact TALUNA table lamp won the "Red Dot: Best of the Best" Award 2026 in the "Lighting and Luminaires" category. Only the best products in each category receive this quality seal. In the same category, the SKENA free-standing luminaire was awarded the Red Dot Award 2026. At the Austrian State Prize for Design 2026, the SOLENA glass tube luminaire was one of three nominated favorites in the running; SKENA received one of 14 special recognitions. With THE EDITIONS, Zumtobel offers a curated series of lighting solutions that are developed in collaboration with leading international architects, design studios and lighting designers for exclusive architectural projects and set particularly high standards of design and functionality.
The TALUNA table lamp impressed the jury of the Red Dot Design Award with its minimalist design,
reliability and sustainability. At TALUNA, the design, construction, and number of components used
are reduced to the absolute essentials. Timeless elegance, replaceable LED light source, recyclable
materials such as sheet steel, and high manufacturing quality ensure the luminaire's durability and
substance. The housing made of bent sheet steel emphasises the minimalist style. The joints of the
light housing are not welded. This reduces power consumption during production. Launching soon in
ten subtle pastel shades, TALUNA blends harmoniously into any room while making a strong design
statement.
With the SKENA free-standing luminaire, another product from THE EDITIONS collection has received
the Red Dot Design Award. SKENA is the result of a collaboration with the Hamburg-based office
BAID Architektur and a customised answer to the requirements of modern working environments. The
luminaire is ideally suited to open-plan workplaces and shared workstations. With the help of
integrated sensors, it adapts lighting levels to daylight and the presence of people in the room. With
the optionally available swarm function, several luminaires can also be connected to form a ‘light
cloud’ to create optimal workplace lighting as well as a pleasant atmosphere.
SOLENA made it into the top three products in the "Capital Goods" category at the Austrian State Award for Design 2026 and was thus shortlisted as one of the three finalists. The suspended luminaire was developed together with the architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron and the lighting designer Reflexion AG for the sustainable office building HORTUS. The luminaire combines design, function and aesthetics with a distinctive signature and radical simplicity. The result is precise, efficientillumination with a subtle shimmer that accentuates architectural details and adds depth to interiorspaces. SOLENA combines sustainability and design quality in one luminaire: designed to be modular,maintenance-friendly and recyclable, it impresses with maximum efficiency and visual excellence. In 2025, SOLENA was honored with the “Red Dot: ‘Best of the Best’” design prize for its outstanding product design.
