State of the art illuminated ceilings for NIO

Bright Green Technology’s LED lighting is bringing standout illumination to NIO sites across major European cities. As NIO’s global expansion accelerates, their goal is to offer a user experience that goes far beyond a typical car showroom. These spaces include meeting rooms, labs, galleries, fitness studios, and relaxation areas.

So far, we have delivered lighting systems to three cities. Each location required a tailored approach, using a different product from our range to suit the space and achieve optimal lighting results.

Throughout the project, sustainability, speed, quality, and design focus were essential. These priorities aligned with NIO’s brand values and enhanced the overall architectural design.

Berlin

NIO House Berlin draws inspiration from the city’s eclectic mix of neighbourhoods. The design reflects Berlin’s unique identity celebrating diversity, progress, green spaces, and the arts.

To support this vision, Bright Green Technology supplied stretch fabric lightboxes with LED Light Panel backlighting for the main showroom ceiling. These created clean, even illumination to enhance the architectural space.

Additionally, our sister company, Bright Green Connect, delivered PRO Range DALI LED drivers. These integrated seamlessly with the lighting control system for precision and flexibility. The light boxes were installed on a suspension system using custom brackets, all designed and manufactured by our in-house team.

Frankfurt

NIO House Frankfurt spans a total floor area of 1,600 square metres. The design features light-filled rooms and natural materials, including reclaimed wood and terrazzo finishes.

However, the high ceiling posed a challenge. It required shallow lightboxes that could still deliver smooth, consistent backlighting. To solve this, we selected Bright Green Grid a perfect solution for even illumination with no visible dots.

Our team designed, manufactured, and assembled custom shallow LED lightboxes, fully pre-cabled with the integrated lighting system. This ensured fast, clean installation on site.

Once again, Bright Green Connect provided reliable DALI power and lighting control to complete the project with precision and efficiency.

Rotterdam

Bright Green Space was chosen to deliver both the structural and lighting design for NIO’s flagship site in Rotterdam.

The space embraces an industrial architectural style, with a concept focused on enhancing the building’s original features and materials. Visitors move from the front gallery where they explore NIO’s vehicle range through to a warm, inviting clubhouse at the rear.

This journey is visually supported by a gradual transition in colour across the floor, walls, and ceiling, shifting from neutral white to a rich caramel. Our lighting design followed this gradient, creating a central transition zone that enhances the spatial experience.

To achieve this, we used Bright Green Matrix a modular LED lighting system known for flexibility and precise brightness control. Paired with Barrisol stretch material, the custom lightboxes delivered seamless, even illumination tailored to the space.
