OPAL (semi-finalist)

Mission

To empower individuals and organizations to unlock their full potential by harmonizing work and rest through innovative, human-centric lighting solutions.

The challenge

Modern workspaces lack lighting that supports our natural rhythms, disrupting the balance between work and rest. Poorly designed lighting fails to energize us during the day or prepare us for rest at night, leading to fatigue, reduced productivity, and long-term health issues. This imbalance creates a disconnect from the natural flow of light our bodies crave, leaving us drained and unfocused. The result? A workforce struggling to perform at its best, both mentally and physically, in environments that ignore the profound impact of biologically effective light on our well-being.

The solution

At OPAL, we designed a light that reconnects us to the natural flow of light, delivering biologically optimized illumination directly into our field of view. Its modular design, nature-inspired animations, and gamified lux tracking restore the balance between energy and rest, enhancing focus, mood, and productivity. By mimicking the dynamic qualities of daylight, the Flow Light transforms workspaces into environments where individuals thrive—naturally.
