Thorn and its sister brand Zumtobel, lighting brands of the Zumtobel Group, are excited to announce their participation at Data Centre World 2025. Taking place at Excel London, from 12-13^th March, this leading event for data centre leaders, C-level executives, and decision-makers will see the UK debut of the revolutionary TECTON II lighting system. After months of intriguing teaser campaigns, this is the first time the next-generation TECTON system will be showcased in the UK.

TECTON II: The Future of Continuous-Row Lighting

Developed in collaboration with Italian design and engineering experts Pininfarina, TECTON II is a revolutionary evolution of a Zumtobel classic. Designed to be "intuitive"—quick, efficient, and more effective than ever—the system sets new standards in continuous-row lighting while emphasising sustainability in every phase of its lifecycle. Key sustainable features include a modular design engineered for disassembly, enabling easy repair, recycling, or remanufacturing. With an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), TECTON II transparently details its CO₂ balance, material composition, and recycling potential.

A Sustainable Stand Design

In line with its longstanding commitment to sustainability, the dual-brand stand (6 x 4 m) at Data Centre World has been thoughtfully designed using reused materials from previous data centre events. Emphasising core values such as material efficiency, robust design, functionality, and durability.
