On behalf of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, LÖSCHE DESIGN designed the world´s first application of OLEDs in the field of floor lamps in the form of a decorative “mood lamp”. With this design LÖSCHE DESIGN expands its influence in designing lighting applications. You can actually touch and individually turn the circular OLED light modules, which emit light from both sides, due to absence of heat radiation.

The entire design of the lamp is based upon the filigree and lightness of the thin glass tiles.
In cooperation with Osram, the young Bavarian designer achieved advancement in technology for using OLEDS in the field of home-lighting through the development of floor lamps.

Recently the company presented part of the designed lamp in a home lighting scenario at this year’s “Light and Building” in Frankfurt. In this way the complete results of the cooperative project between the developers of OLED lighting in the Osram Opto Semiconductors company in Regensburg and the industrial designer were presented.

Until now it has been the privilege of only a few international designers to design their products with this high-tech material. For Lösche Design it is a great opportunity as well as a challenge, because along with mechanical engineering and Life-Science, lighting is one of the biggest markets of optical technology in Germany.

OLEDs –organic light-emitting diodes – make ultra thin and high-powered screens and lighting systems possible. There is a lot of potential for worldwide revolution of the lighting and display market in particular with numerous product innovations, which are yet unknown.

OLED light sources will be particularly welcome where their special properties as flat light sources offering high quality of light make a real impression, for example in illuminated wall coverings, atmospheric canopies of light and light partitions. With their pleasant diffused light, the color of which can be individually controlled, OLEDs will enhance the premium design segment, for example as light tiles that can be attached to any surface. For widespread applications it will be necessary to produce efficient OLEDs in large numbers at reasonably low cost – an essential objective of the research project.

The Loesche Designers are one of the first which have the big chance to work with the high tech Oled materials from Osram.
The color rendering index (CRI) of the almost 100 cm² large prototype is 80. By March 2009, development should be so far advanced that a demonstrator for an energy-saving OLED flat light module comprising several tiles will be able to deliver an overall luminous flux of 500 lm from a power consumption of less than 10 W.An interactive light object designed by Robert Lösche was presented at the exhibition “The Light of the Future” as a vision on the topic “What will life be like tomorrow?” This light was presented at this year’s fair at the booth of the German Department of Education and Research in cooperation with the technology centre of the Association of German Engineers (VDI) in Hanover. It was actually a model of a house with transparent OLED foils, which were used as windows during the day. In the evening they emitted pleasant light throughout the house.
