The headquarters of Universal Music Group, the world’s largest music label, called for lighting that matched its creative energy and global stature. With a roster that includes icons like ABBA, Justin Bieber, Elton John, and Duncan Laurence, the space reflects a deep-rooted passion for music. Featuring everything from a performance stage and DJ booth to a full music library and diverse workspaces.

The process

ONN lighting was brought in by Casper Schwarz Architects to deliver a lighting solution that supports both functionality and atmosphere. The goal was to create a versatile environment where creativity thrives and every zone, from focused work areas to event spaces, is enhanced by the right lighting.

By combining practical light with expressive accents, we brought balance to a dynamic interior that bridges business and artistry. The result is a workplace that sounds, feels and now looks like Universal Music Group.
