About
The name nooon is inspired by the moment the sun reaches its zenith at midday, symbolizing the peak of daylight and the delicate balance between light and shadow.
It reflects our fascination with the dynamics of light, tipping points, and symmetry, and at the same time forms the basis for the design of spaces that are in harmony with the natural environment and their context.
Approach
nooon is an independent lighting design studio based in Zurich, specializing in architectural lighting and daylight design. Its core focus lies in projects with the highest demands on lighting quality, including representative commercial buildings, museums, sacral architecture, and heritage-listed structures.
nooon stands for a clear and uncompromising aesthetic. Lighting is conceived as an integral part of the architecture, bringing together functionality, efficiency, and dramaturgy to create a cohesive and atmospheric whole.

Meta Romanens
"Lighting is not just a source of illumination, but a key element that shapes the atmosphere of a space. In architecture, light is both a sculptor and a storyteller, revealing the true essence of a room and connecting us to the natural world."
Meta is an interior architect with a master’s degree in Architectural Lighting Design from Hochschule Wismar (Germany). Before founding nooon in 2023, she worked as a lighting designer and interior architect, gaining extensive experience across a wide range of project types, scales, and budgets. In 2021, she also served as a lecturer in the CAS Lighting Design program at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.
