Light Cognitive won with its design for a light that mimics nature and brings the benefits of natural light into any space regardless of the time of year. This distinctive and award-winning design creates the feeling of standing next to a large window or under the open sky, in light that shifts and changes naturally throughout the day.

“This project addresses the importance of light in our lives. It is not so much about the form and shape, but more about human reactions and interventions within a space. It's about the light, not the lamp itself.” – Head Judge Margriet Vollenburg
Light Cognitive’s sales have grown this year despite coronavirus, and the company has gained new international customers. Demand is now global, in addition to the company’s current market area in Europe. The company believes that Light Cognitive artificial skylights are a significant way to upgrade windowless spaces and basements, both in homes and businesses.
“We are very honoured to get this recognition. Our goal is to bring beautiful light and clear skies within everyone's reach.” – Marketing Director Anne Salomaa
Retail design has been a new growth area for Light Cognitive. The company was shortlisted for the Architectural Lighting Design award for their new circular skylight, LC Oculus, which had its debut in a retail project in Barcelona. The “oculus” was originally a circular opening found at the top of a dome in Ancient Roman architecture. Light Cognitive’s unique artificial skylight creates a similar feeling of openness and allows guests at a windowless shop to feel a connection to nature.

€243B Tech Spend Ahead, but Only 1 in 4 Firms Achieves Scale: WBAM Research Reveals Structural Paradox24.6.2026 13:28:00 EEST | Press release
According to research conducted by Monitor Deloitte, a consultancy firm, and Objectway, a growth partner for the financial services industry, wealth, banking and asset management (WBAM) firms are investing at record levels, with Technology & Operations spending reaching €173 billion globally and set to hit €243 billion by 2029. However, yet only around one in four firms has achieved true front-to-back scalability, growing their business without a proportional rise in cost and complexity. This paradox emerges as WBAM firms face record-high levels of structural complexity, driven by a perfect storm of rising client expectations, accelerating regulation and ongoing cross-border fragmentation. These forces are placing an unprecedented strain on operating models that were not designed to withstand such a high level of change.
