LUMEN

00 — Dark

Light, placed.

LUMEN is a lighting studio in Lisbon. We put one light where it earns its place — rooms, tables, façades, and the work that hangs on walls.

01 — Method

One light at a time

We start in the dark and switch things on until the room works. Nothing gets a fixture because the ceiling is empty — a surface gets a beam, a face gets a fill, and everything else stays off.

Site note — every scheme is aimed in person, at night, with the furniture where it will live. Drawings follow the aiming, never the other way round.
