Within the unique setting of Eggenberg Palace in Graz, Austria, KLANGLICHT creates a dialogue between historic architecture and contemporary art. In 2026, XAL is not only a festival sponsor but also presents an installation created in collaboration with 13&9 Design. FRACTAL CODE transforms the space through an immersive interplay of light, shadow and sound.

Following the Product Design Award at Light + Building, ENVIVA has now also won the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Award 2026.

ENVIVA is the first XAL product to be awarded Cradle to Cradle Certified® Full Scope at Bronze level under the Product Standard Version 4.0 – a clear commitment to forward-thinking, responsible and circular product design.

Discover innovations such as new acoustic solutions, forward-looking materials, and explore our first Cradle to Cradle Certified® product.

When design meets structure, space is created for new perspectives. At Light + Building from 8 to 13 March 2026 in Frankfurt, you will experience light in a new form – reduced to structure, material and impact.

XAL invests significantly in research, development and product design, as well as in the protection of its intellectual property. We believe that products from a partner infringe this intellectual property in several ways. XAL was therefore compelled to file a lawsuit in Germany for infringement of technical property rights.

On 14 November 2025, INNOCAD architecture's FRACTAL CHAPEL project at the LKH-Univ.

IQ LUX contributes in-depth expertise in modern manufacturing and innovative material technologies, while XAL brings to the table many years of experience in efficient lighting technology.

This year's edition of the KLANGLICHT festival celebrates a special anniversary: 10 years of light and sound art in Graz. We are delighted that, with our support, the landmark of the city of Graz will once again be transformed into a light sculpture visible from afar. You can see a first preview here.

In 2025, we remain one of the top 1% of employers in Austria as a Leading Employer.
