ENVUE HOMBURG LICHT

What ENVUE HOMBURG LICHT does

ENVUE Homburg Licht is a German lighting design consultancy and luminaire developer headquartered across offices in Berlin and Bielefeld. The firm serves architects, public-sector clients, and brand owners across the DACH region and selected international markets on cultural, commercial, residential, and infrastructure projects. Its client roster spans marquee cultural institutions (Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Jewish Museum Berlin, Bauhaus Museum Dessau, Deutsche Kinemathek, Spreepark), premium commercial brands (Swarovski, Allianz, Schüco, bulthaup), and tier-one architectural practices including Herzog & de Meuron, chezweitz GmbH, and netzwerkarchitekten.

The company operates two integrated lines. The first is project-based lighting consulting — concept, planning, tendering, and on-site supervision — executed with Relux/Dialux simulation, AutoCAD/Vectorworks drafting, and BIM integration. The second is in-house luminaire development producing proprietary fixtures (SPOK, Naka, Kugelleuchte, Lightcode, Night Sun) manufactured and distributed in partnership with SELF Lighting and MAWA-Design, supported by the firm's own custom hand-blown-glass program. Recognition includes a German Lighting Design Award nomination (2023) for the Jewish Museum Berlin and a BDA Architecture Prize (2018).

The business model is fee-for-service design engagements billed to architects and direct end-clients, complemented by unit sales of proprietary luminaires through distribution partners. The firm is a privately held GmbH owned and operated by Managing Directors Sascha Homburg and Urs Schreiner, both professors of lighting design (TU Ilmenau and OWL University of Applied Sciences), which provides a pipeline of trained junior designers and supports academic positioning in a discipline where reputation and craft credentials drive tender selection.
