About kreon
About the brand’s secret sauce…
The premise for Kreon’s design is a very clear characteristic visualization of the company’s philosophy: purity and simplicity. Wherever possible, the brand draws upon pure three-dimensional architectural forms, highlighting the essential and extracting the structural minimum.
kreon offers timeless and innovative lighting concepts, initiating a dialogue with and between architectural structures. The brand’s collection includes an array of downlights, uplights and sidelights which blend harmoniously into ceilings, floors and walls, which shows respect towards the recessed position of the light source, creating comfortable warmth and preventing unpleasant glare.
Until a few years ago, minimalism had set the trend but in recent years, architecture has become more organic and emotional. That’s why Kreon decided to introduce decorative products to the kreon collection. These new ornamental product families are developed without losing sight of the brand’s basic principles of “unity in design and simplicity in techniques”. kreon’s lighting concepts are implemented by architects, designers and engineers during the planning stages of the design process and in a variety of environments.
“kreon is keen to share its architectural lighting know-how with LTD’s audience of professionals. We are proud to be on LTD and provide solutions, made by and for humans who are curious to discover different lighting and ceiling design”
— Marnix Schrooyen, Global Sales Director, Kreon
