Architecture and Art
Lamy Development Center, showcasing Lamy's philosophy
The best reflection of a company’s spirit is its architecture. From the materials used in construction to the façade of the building, lighting and acoustics, the architecture provides a glimpse into the company’s overall understanding of design. In that sense, the Lamy Development Center symbolically represents the brand’s fundamental aesthetic perspective.
The development center, where Lamy’s new products are produced and tested, has a simple and impressive façade, complete with cutting-edge technology. The design of the building is an overall elegant impression, with black glass cubes made of solar panels hanging from silver steel columns and cables, and embodies Lamy’s core philosophy of ‘simplicity, restraint, and functionality.’
Furthermore, it shows Rami’s concern for the environment. The building generates electricity using solar energy through solar modules and is working to reduce overall water consumption by reusing rainwater collected in a cistern.
Relaxation and inspirationat the Rami Galleria and Sculpture Garden
In addition to architecture, art plays an important role at Lamy. The Lamy Galleria and Sculpture Garden are spaces that demonstrate Lamy’s interest and passion for art and are a source of new ideas. Located between the development center and the injection molding department, in the middle of the employee flow, the Lamy Galleria features a large glass ceiling with ample light and walls filled with large-scale paintings. This artistic space at the heart of Lamy is a place of inspiration for staff meetings and gatherings. It also serves as a cultural center for Heidelberg with various special exhibitions.
If Lamy Galleria serves as an exchange with the local community, Lamy’s sculpture garden is a source of inspiration for Lamy’s employees. A green, energetic oasis on the rooftop of the production center, it is a place where employees can relax and admire sculptures by renowned artists amidst cypress and bamboo. The geometrically carved works give an impression similar to Lamy’s design language. This similarity is a motto symbolizing Lamy’s philosophy of looking at things differently and always thinking one step ahead, and it is brought to life through architectural and artistic attempts.
