A course about the architecture of atmosphere, expressed through light.
Every time we start a new lighting design project, the first thing we ask ourselves is:
What kind of images do we want to create?
What do I feel in this space? What do I want to happen here—inside the space, and inside the viewer—through light?
And most of the time, the answer isn’t technical.
It’s a feeling. An intention. A story told in silence.
From the desire to talk about this—the thinking behind the lights—we’ve created a new course:
🎓 The Invisible Art: Lighting Design Explained Creatively
A course about the architecture of mood, through light.
Who is it for?
For those who feel that light holds the secret to a space—and are ready for the next level:
a full journey from intuition to creation.
We’ll walk through the entire creative process, from the first idea to the final client pitch, using methodologies developed over 20 years of hands-on experience.
Perfect for:
- Interior designers, set designers, architects, event organizers, and wedding planners
- Creatives who work with space, but feel that light slips through their fingers
- Professionals who want more clarity, vocabulary, and confidence when working with light
- Beginners who want to understand how to think about light—and how it can become a core tool in visual expression
You don’t need to be a technical expert—
just curious enough to see things differently.
So, what exactly do we do?
The course is structured into 8 modules, working with real themes, visual examples, creative exercises, and plenty of dialogue.
A course about the architecture of emotion—through light.
Topics include:
- Lighting Design in Theatre
- Architectural Lighting
- Lighting Design in Interior Spaces

What will stay with you?

– And perhaps most importantly: a new way of seeing light
