Given the breadth of Arup’s work across the built environment’s design, engineering and user experience, it was natural that we would also choose to develop products when a clear need or opportunity emerges.
Our team of design, engineering, materials and sustainability experts collaborate and develop products that add real value in the contexts our clients inhabit. Our product portfolio includes mechanical and electronic appliances, furniture, digital devices, lighting solutions, building products and components, transportation and packaging.
Product systems
Lighting:
We worked with Reggiani to develop the Traceline architectural lighting system. Our product research led to an energy efficient and highly adaptable miniature LED lighting system to enhance interior space. We also developed the ‘Bentley Hero Light’ for the car company – developing a 6m circular pendant LED light to effectively illuminate and showcase an important new model.
Hygiene:
Effective hygiene in emergency zones, whether caused by natural events or conflict, is an essential part of any response. We developed the Jengu handwashing units, working with the British Red Cross, to enable practical, ffective handwashing in humanitarian and development settings.
