Conversation spaces play an important role in promoting employee wellbeing and collaboration. They are often places where spontaneous ideas are generated and where informal discussions can lead to new solutions. Thoughtful lighting can make these areas more inviting and support a workplace culture that values both creativity and socialising.

Create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere - In conversation areas and common areas where employees need to have informal meetings and conversations, lighting should create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Varying light levels can be used to create a shielded and inviting atmosphere while keeping the area functional and well-lit.

Conversation and common areas place special demands on lighting - it's not just about functional light, but also about creating an atmosphere that invites dialogue and relaxation. The right lighting can make the space more welcoming and enhance both social dynamics and creative collaboration.

That's why we present two different lighting solutions that each contribute to a relaxed and well-functioning atmosphere. Both solutions balance lighting comfort, aesthetics and functionality - but each with their own visual expression and atmospheric effect. Whichever solution you choose, you'll get lighting that supports communication, relationships and a working environment with room for both breaks and new ideas.

Dialux visualisation - Common and conversation area with classic surface-mounted luminaire:

In this common area, comfortable and functional lighting has been created with classic round surface-mounted luminaires in Ø400 mm. The solution provides soft and even ambient lighting that supports a relaxed atmosphere in the conversation areas - without compromising on functionality.

Dialux visualisation - Combined solution with recessed luminaire and ambient light:

The basic lighting in the common area is ensured with a classic round recessed luminaire that provides a calm and uniform light. In the conversation areas, a suspended panel luminaire above the table and spotlights are added to create atmosphere and depth by emphasising the walls. A solution that balances functional light and visual atmosphere.

Conversation areas are just one piece of the overall office environment. If you want to dive into how to create optimal ambient lighting in other types of work zones, read on for our recommendations for open-plan offices, individual offices and meeting rooms.
