Windowless offices can drain energy, focus, and creativity. With the Skylight, even the darkest spaces now feel alive with natural daylight. Dutch office furniture brand Ahrend has introduced a light fixture that is integrated into office pod ceilings to mimic the look of blue sky through a skylight. This innovative solution enhances employee wellbeing, boosts energy, and creates inspiring work environments, wherever employees are seated.
Ahrend, Amsterdam, Netherlands
“With Ahrend Cerene Skylight, we bring the power of daylight indoors – an essential element for vitality and focus. This solution is designed to transform even the darkest rooms into inspiring workspaces where people feel comfortable.”

Customer Challenge
Many workplaces struggle with windowless rooms that feel closed off, dim, and uninspiring. Employees in these spaces often report reduced energy, focus, and overall satisfaction. Ahrend partnered with Signify to address this challenge, integrating the NatureConnect lighting solution into the ceiling of Ahrend Cerene Meet and Meet XL office pods. The goal: recreate the sensation of sitting beneath a bright blue sky, even indoors.
