Lighting that feels as good
as it looks
Commercial Lighting Design
From independent boutiques to global brands, we’ve delivered lighting solutions for every kind of commercial space. Wherever your project is located, we’ll create lighting that expresses your identity and elevates the way your space is experienced.
Living Light
Light shapes how we see, feel, and connect with a space. We design energy-efficient, lighting that transforms how people experience commercial environments - bringing comfort, beauty and full of atmosphere. Because great lighting isn’t just about what you see - it’s about how it makes you feel.

Our lighting design process follows a 4 stage structure aligned with the RIBA stages of works. With both large and small scale projects, we integrate seamlessly within professional design teams, collaborating with architects, interior designers, AV consultants engineers and the people who actually own the space, to literally show projects in the best possible light!
