Turning Torso

The new “Turning Torso” residential tower in Malmö, Sweden, is not only an architectural feat but a state-of-the-art example of modern lighting solutions. Using Golden Dragon LEDs from Osram and a custom-made fixture from the Danish lighting manufacturer Louis Poulsen Lighting, the planners of the building were able to achieve their custom installation objectives as well as implement a cost-effective and stylish lighting arrangement.

Standing at a height of 190 meters, the futuristic Turning Torso skyscraper towers over the Western Docks in Malmö like an oversized model of a DNA strand. Designed by world renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, the 54-story building officially opened its doors at the end of August 2005, at a total cost of €175 million.
