Belux

Belux was founded in Switzerland in 1970 to make lights for the workshop sector, and shifted ten years later to developing and producing designer luminaires for living and working spaces. Headquartered in Birsfelden, it has belonged to the Vitra Group since 2001 and to Kreon since 2016, while continuing to operate as a separate company.

Design collaborations shape the catalogue: Hannes Wettstein created Snodo and Ball, and the 1982 Metro system was the first low-voltage cable system worldwide. Later work includes Lifto by Benjamin Thut, Updown by Reto Schöpfer, Meter By Meter by Matteo Thun, and pieces by Naoto Fukasawa, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Herzog & de Meuron and Hella Jongerius, with LED versions of Lifto, Ypsilon, Twilight and Koi.
