The GERA Light Bridge is a multifunctional light for the kitchen island, combining lighting of the workplace and the surrounding space together with storage and access to often-used items.
Featured earlier this year at Interzum in Cologne, Germany, the system allows for the carrying and organisation of accessories, storage of fresh ingredients and so much more. It can be integrated into the design of the kitchen, is dimensionally variable and of high quality. GERA Light Bridge is available in anodised surfaces of black, aluminium silver or in a stainless steel tone. Light colour and light intensity can be controlled individually to create a bespoke finish.
Designed by Thomas Ritt, who is responsible for design strategy and consistency of design for GERA, and similar to his other designs, GERA Light Bridge is a symbol of minimal functionality. Derived from the GERA Lighting System 6, the light bridge features a modular profile that allows it to create a bridge of light.
“Our products today are recognisable, clearly distinguishable and unique,” says Thomas Ritt, “and they ensure an unmistakable brand identity. Living space is becoming scarcer, and the floor plans are therefore smaller. If you combine the kitchen and dining room, you achieve efficient and communicative use of space. The kitchen island serves multiple purposes here. It structures the space, acts as a boundary and creates visual axes.”
In 2023, GERA Light Bridge was awarded the German Design Award from the German Design Council, one of the most coveted prizes in the design landscape. The award is an additional highlight in the design history of GERA Leuchten, which has won more than a dozen awards for its minimalist and timeless designs. As the “Winner Excellent Product Design Kitchen”, GERA Light Bridge proves again the design credentials and product strength of the company.
“Good design provides answers to questions that society is asking now and in the future,” adds Thomas Ritt.
