Philosophy

For almost half a century, RSL has been implementing the ideas of planners and architects for unique indoor and outdoor luminaires in an inimitable way. The results are unique, site-specific lighting instruments or iconic luminaires for individual lighting concepts. Only with such special luminaires can RSL's partners realize their ideas for specific projects without compromise.
With its two approaches - integrative architectural lighting focused on technology and sculptural lighting that is deliberately made visible - the company has created a unique selling point that has led to international renown and collaboration with world-famous architects of all stripes.
RSL special luminaires can be found in purist buildings by Mies van der Rohe or Hans Scharoun as well as in hotels, museums, airports or urban spaces that showcase design opulence. Each result stands for quality workmanship “Made in Sankt Augustin”, as all the components required for the construction of special luminaires are produced by machine and by hand in the company's own production facility.
