Reflexion

Reflexion is a lighting design practice in Zürich, founded in 2001 by Thomas Mika, who sits on the management board alongside Martina Lehr, part of the leadership since 2012. The office works on Lichtplanung and Lichtgestaltung — the planning and design of light — treating illumination as the layer that allows architecture to unfold, for interiors that have to function around the clock.

Projects range from the Parkhaus Unterer Graben in St. Gallen, where light carries an underground car park, to workplace and public interiors, balancing the architect’s aesthetic and atmospheric intentions against the functional and economic demands of the client. The studio keeps an open team structure with cross-disciplinary exchange, internal project presentations and design workshops on light, and has a project lead responsible for western Switzerland.
