Presentation: What does a PMMA flat light guide have to do with a forest walk? • feno

At LIGHTINGcon, Lena Nguyen from feno demonstrates how color associations and lighting moods from nature affect drivers and passengers in cars – and which technologies she recommends for this purpose.

Recharging in nature. Or bringing nature directly into the car.

With light.

Breathing deeply while driving, finding balance, recharging, lifting spirits? Light is an underutilized medium in automotive interiors for supporting the well-being of the people inside. Lena Nguyen, Senior Product Designer at feno, addresses in her presentation how natural lighting effects help drivers and passengers – and how immersive user experiences create emotional brand experiences.

One of the proven technologies used in this context are laser-structured, thermoformable PMMA flat light guides for backlighting surfaces and materials. These flat light guides have crucial advantages that make the entire process from design to installation faster, more straightforward, and more cost-effective:

As thin as a ruler and therefore space-saving
They adapt to organic forms in the interior
Much more creative freedom for designers
Optimally short time to market
Homogeneous light distribution even across large surfaces

On June 25, 2025, Light & Plastics will once again be at the center of this year's focus day LIGHTINGcon.

Light plays a central role in everyone's daily life. Whether as background lighting, for orientation, or as a strategically placed design element – light can be used in diverse ways to shape the environment and awaken as well as control emotions. In the plastics sector, light design is often a natural component of a product. Nevertheless, the targeted mastery of light to achieve the desired effect requires extensive experience and expertise.

The focus day is dedicated to the fascinating combination of light and plastics.
