Beauty and Brains at Moorgen
The future of smart living has arrived – and it is as sexy as it is intelligent. Jodie Cameron discovers the global brand that has just arrived in Australia.
Imagine a home that knows when to wake up, wind down and welcome you in. Before the household stirs, blinds rise gradually, morning light fills the room and the climate adjusts for the day ahead. By evening, curtains and lighting work in concert to create a calmer mood, while a single command prepares the home to switch between day and night.
Moorgen – the internationally recognised, award-winning smart-home and lighting brand has arrived in Australia, opening its first showroom in Sydney. For homeowners who have invested in thoughtful design, beautiful materials and layered lighting, it offers an elegant and intelligent alternative to the usual mix of remotes, switches and apps.
Now imagine that as well as being smart, it is also sexy. For Moorgen it’s not simply what it can do, but also how it looks and feels. The brand has collaborated with architects, industrial designers and creative visionaries including Philippe Starck, Neri & Hu, Zaha Hadid Architects, Kengo Kuma and George Yabu, to name a few.
“Smart living begins when the technology stops feeling like an addition to the home and starts becoming part of the architecture,” says Moorgen Australia Director Edwin Zhang. I
ntelligent lighting is central to the experience, with dimming, adjustable colour temperature and pre-set scenes working alongside compatible climate systems, motorised blinds and curtains, smart sensors, locks and video intercoms. Designer panels, knobs and control interfaces provide a tactile, considered way to operate the system, while the wider collection includes architectural lighting, pendants, floor lamps and table lamps.
Smart panels made from luxurious materials like gemstones, crystals, and precious metals; award-winning decorative lighting designed by world renown designers and architects crafted by top architects and interior designers; sensors that are barely visible to the eye yet have incredible range; smart locks with advanced security features, ergonomic design and customisable options to perfectly match your interior.
It’s no surprise the brand has won accolades at Red Dot, iF Design, International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) and Japan’s Good Design Awards.
For Noosa’s design-conscious homeowners, where natural light, materiality and indoor-outdoor living are central, the proposition is compelling. Technology should complement good architecture – not clutter it with mismatched switches and screens.
The Sydney showroom gives homeowners, architects, designers, builders and developers the opportunity to experience the technology first-hand – before it becomes part of a project.
That’s reason enough for a trip to Sydney – and a home that finally thinks the way you live in it.
