Conceptlicht Mittelberger

What Conceptlicht Mittelberger does

Conceptlicht Mittelberger GmbH is a specialty lighting planning studio and showroom operator headquartered in Weiler, Vorarlberg, Austria, founded in 1993. The legal entity Mittelberger GmbH operates within the Dorfelektriker Mittelberger group and employs 51–100 staff across its activities. It serves individual residential customers — primarily homeowners executing renovation or new-build lighting plans — alongside a small set of commercial clients in the hospitality segment (named examples include Naturhotel Chesa Valisa and Hotel Hirschen). Its service geography covers Austria, Liechtenstein, Eastern Switzerland, and Southern Germany, positioning it as a regional premium-lighting specialist within the broader DACH market.

The firm's core product surface is a physical, capital-intensive showroom: the "frame – raum für design" center spans 4,500+ m² and displays 270+ fixtures from more than 25 premium brands including Occhio, Ribag, Vibia, Georg Bechter, Lodes, Zumtobel, and XAL. A loaner pool of 120 sample fixtures supports in-home testing, a service mechanism that materially de-risks a high-consideration purchase for end customers. Technical offerings extend to lighting planning services and integration across major smart-home protocols (Loxone, KNX, DALI, Casambi). In April 2025 the company introduced "LISA," an internal interactive presentation tool intended to systematize customer consultations.

The business model combines fee-based lighting planning and consulting, fixture sales through the Weiler showroom, and (since July 2024) an online shop channel that extends direct retail reach beyond the physical location. Distribution is anchored by brand-aggregation relationships and an exclusive Occhio exhibition in the region. GTM is omnichannel but showroom-led, with premium positioning supported by external recognition (Möbel & Design Guide 2025; VN Klimaschutzpreis 2020; "Best Employer" 2019). Management is led by founder-CEO Tim Mittelberger, with next-generation leadership signaled by the September 2024 appointment of Nadine Morscher to a Team Lead role. No financial figures, fundraising activity, or external valuation signals are disclosed in the available data.
