An air purifier that deactivates viruses as well as bacteria with UVC light and provides indirect as well as direct lighting, that was the approach for "Virlight".

To develop the hybrid system, the interior designers from Brust+Partner teamed up with Ruco Licht, a manufacturer of luminaires and lighting systems. "Human interaction works best face to face. Therefore, the question for us was how to get the employees of our company back at the same table without endangering their health and ours," says Siegmund Dumm, Managing Director of Brust+Partner.

The result is an air purification system that is installed directly above the workplace to suck in the aerosols where they are produced. In addition, "Virlight" offers LED lighting: indirect light radiates upwards, direct light downwards. There is room for two systems in the 154-centimeter-long and 22-centimeter-wide luminaire, which can also be selected independently of each other.
