Come spend the day with me on a late-night site mock-up as a Graduate Lighting Designer!🤳

Site mock-ups are one of our favourite parts of the design process because they allow us to take a lighting concept off the screen and test it in real life.

From testing how warm colour temperatures interact with timber panelling, to experimenting with concealed LED strips and lighting details, this is where the real magic happens ✨

It’s all about seeing how a space feels, not just how it looks on a drawing.

Which part of the mock-up surprised you the most? Let us know below👇

Our Professional Lighting Design Practical Day welcomed 20 engaged participants from diverse backgrounds—interior design, architecture, glass manufacturing, and light enthusiasts alike.

The day began with good coffee and great conversation, followed by focused sessions exploring light as a powerful driver of space, comfort, and wellbeing.

Through real-time observation of natural daylight and hands-on studio work, theory came to life—highlighting how light moves, supports health, and shapes thoughtful, human-centred design. A day rich in learning, discussion, and shared appreciation for the true impact of light.

I love early mornings, especially on workdays.

They feel like bonus hours, quiet, clear, and somehow stolen back from the day ahead.

But this week, it’s the dark that’s been stopping me in my tracks.
The moonlight has been incredible, soft, directional, effortless.

No fittings. No controls. Just light doing what it has always done best: revealing texture, shadow, and atmosphere.

It’s reminded me of something I believe deeply:
You only truly see the magic of light because darkness exists.

When artificial light overwhelms that balance, we lose something, not just visually, but emotionally. We flatten the night. We erase nature’s subtleties.

I work with artificial light every day, and I love it.

But moments like this sit heavy too especially knowing this is my own home (not for long… retrofitting is coming).

A gentle reminder: sometimes the most powerful lighting decision is knowing when not to add more.

Clean lines. Seamless glow. Professional results.

LED tape gives us the flexibility to highlight architectural features with precision and restraint. Integrated into heat-dissipating aluminum profiles, our 24VDC LED strips transform lighting into something more subtle—creating soft, controlled effects that enhance form rather than overpower it.

Supplied in 5-meter self-adhesive rolls and cuttable at precise intervals, they adapt effortlessly to the design intent.

Ideal for spaces where light is meant to be felt, not seen.

Every year during April, we pause to discover and protect the night sky — a priceless part of life on Earth that’s disappearing because of light pollution. ✨

Get outside at night, see the world above us, and take this week to embrace the stars!

Every small action helps protect our night sky:

- Turn off unnecessary lights
- Step outside & look up
- Join a star party or citizen science project
- Take the Dark Sky pledge

Hallways are often overlooked when it comes to lighting, but they don’t have to be boring.

Long corridors give us a unique opportunity to play with light and shadow, creating depth, rhythm, and visual interest. By using downlights with a narrow beam angle, we can form a repeating pattern of light–shadow–light that draws the eye forward and makes the space feel more intentional.

Even in areas with limited natural light, thoughtful lighting design can turn a simple hallway into an engaging visual experience. It’s all about precision, placement, and how light guides movement.

The Coral Sea urchin Pendant brings the elegance of the ocean indoors.

Inspired by coral reefs, its organic form and handcrafted stainless steel mesh create a natural, sculptural glow.

Handmade in Spain, this piece shines beautifully on its own or as part of a flowing Coral collection composition.

Artistry. Nature. Light.

The Sucre Wall Spotlight brings vintage workshop charm into the present.
With its solid brass body, grooved shade and exposed joints, it’s a nod to early industrial design – but with modern function.

Adjustable to shine where you need it most, from reading corners to kitchen tasks, it’s available in a range of brass finishes to suit textured, heritage-inspired interiors.

Expressive. Precise. Timeless.
