GE Lighting’s new showroom in Budapest was inaugurated by Hungary’s Minister of National Development, Dr. Tamás Fellegi on 13 October 2011.

Designed by Italian studio Cerquiglini & Rossi, the showroom takes visitors on a leisurely walk from an enchanted forest of light to the heart of the city, with guests experiencing first hand GE’s latest lighting solutions in unique spaces - designed to present some key applications. The experience center offers an interactive exploration of light in all its facets and key application areas like retail, refrigeration, office environments and city lighting.

On the occasion of the opening, Phil Marshall, President & CEO, GE Lighting EMEA said, “The Lighting Experience Centre sees technology meet design. We’ve developed a unique environment in which to demonstrate our capabilities, a place that we will be excited to bring our customers for a truly inspirational experience that plays out the wonder and necessity of light.”
