Request a consultationVerkís’ approach to lighting is based on integrating science, technical expertise, and aesthetics to achieve the best possible outcomes in every project.
Lighting design is an integral part of the design process for buildings, streets, and public spaces, where lighting systems play a key role in shaping both the built environment and our everyday surroundings. Careful selection of lighting equipment is therefore essential to ensure alignment with client requirements while complementing architectural design and intent.
The Verkís lighting team has received multiple awards, including the Nordic Lighting Design Award twice, the 40under40 Lighting Award, and the Icelandic Lighting Award.
When designing interior lighting, it is essential to consider the functional requirements of the space, whether technical or architectural in nature. This ensures that experience, comfort, and safety are seamlessly integrated.
The ability to control how we illuminate our surroundings gives us significant influence over the environment but also brings responsibility. Our approach is to balance environmental conditions with human needs. It is important to minimize light pollution while creating a pleasant and functional atmosphere.
Lighting plays a major role in building design, and our specialists aim to create balance and a positive atmosphere through well-designed lighting solutions.
Verkís is a member of the Icelandic Lighting Society.
