ERCO
ERCO was founded in 1934 as Reininghaus & Co. by Arnold Reininghaus (1907–2003), Karl Reeber and Paul Buschhaus in Lüdenscheid, Germany. The name ERCO is a phonetic abbreviation of the original company name Reininghaus & Co..
The company initially produced components for lighting, including a successful spring-supported retracting mechanism for pendant lamps. Before the Second World War, ERCO began the industrial production of complete luminaires. After the war, the company was continued by Arnold Reininghaus and Karl Reeber; co-founder Paul Buschhaus had died during the war.
During the 1950s and 1960s, ERCO produced domestic lighting such as kitchen pendants, bathroom lights, wall lights and table lamps. From the late 1960s onward, under the influence of Klaus Jürgen Maack, the company gradually shifted its focus towards professional architectural lighting. The guiding idea “Light instead of luminaires” became central to ERCO’s later identity.
Several important designers worked with ERCO, including Aloys Ferdinand Gangkofner, Roger Tallon, Ettore Sottsass, Emilio Ambasz, Shiro Kuramata, Giancarlo Piretti, Dieter Witte, Yves Béhar, Knud Holscher, Franco Clivio, Naoto Fukasawa and others.
ERCO remained a family-owned company and developed into an international specialist in architectural lighting. Today, the company is still based in Lüdenscheid and describes light as the fourth dimension of architecture. Since 2015, ERCO’s product portfolio has been based entirely on LED technology.
The company has received many international design awards. The iF Design database currently lists 89 awarded ERCO projects.
