Lighting experts Lutron Electronics hosted a series of EMEA-wide events, harmonising luxury lighting and future-forward design to conjure a touch of magic across the Architecture & Design community.
As a leader in architectural lighting and shading solutions, Lutron has continued its mission to nurture EMEA’s design industry with a series of experiential events designed to delight and inspire.
Experiential inspiration
From Lutron’s Luxury House Open Doors, to its presence at Dubai Design Week, experiential events have been at the heart of its strategy to inspire the A&D community.
For example, London recently played host to an exclusive event for architects, interior designers, and lighting designers in London’s luxury residential sector. Guests came together to explore the power of light within luxury homes. Held at the stunning Kensington VI, attendees gained an exclusive look into one of Studio Indigo’s most impressive projects, with insights from the project’s lighting designer, Sally Storey.
And, at DownTown Design during the Dubai Design Week, an immersive popup installation by Lutron gave design professionals the opportunity to experience light in a meaningful and innovative way. Empowered by Lutron’s Athena lighting control solution, designers enjoyed the chance to “paint” with light, adjusting colour temperature, intensity, and layers of light to create unique lighting scenes. After a successful residency in Dubai, the installation moved to LiGHT22 in London, where it was a focal point at the UK’s premier lighting show.
Innovative insight
Alongside immersive experiences designed to inspire, Lutron has also committed to supporting the A&D community to share and foster excellence. A series of keynotes and panel discussions at this quarter’s leading conference have enabled leading members of the community to come together with Lutron experts to provide illuminating insight into future design.
For example, at Dubai Design Week guest speaker Cecilia E. Ramos, Sr. Director, Architectural Market at Lutron delivered insights alongside Caroline Bos (UN Studio), Diane Thorsen (Gensler) and Gitte Nyhus Holm (Kvadrat). At LiGHT 22, Lutron sponsored a talks programme featuring insightful discussions with designers across the UK, alongside Miguel Aguado, EMEA Marketing and Technology Manager for Lutron.
Plus, at Decorex, London’s high-end interior design exhibition, Lutron was on hand to offer expertise to interior designers from around the world.
Celebrating community with a touch of magic
Community is at the heart of Lutron’s approach. As such, the brand has proudly hosted events designed to let the community connect, relax and enjoy a little creative magic. In Dubai, Lutron invited the community to celebrate the inauguration of the new Lutron showroom at UAE’s premier home luxury destination, Casa Mia, where guests experience an experiential concert in luxurious, Lutron-infused surroundings.
During LiGHT22, Lutron invited guests to the Lutron Experience Centre in London for an extra special event with Archifos, the specialist lighting design agency. Nearly 100 guests from 24 countries across the globe, including lighting designers, engineers, manufacturers, scientists, journalists, and more, enjoyed an evening of creative connection. A fascinating presentation from Dr Shelley James inspired guests to take part in a creative hands-on experience leading to a hotly contested photo competition.
Lutron was also central in the inauguration of the Illusion Experience Centre in Marbella, home to luxury AV systems specialists, Illusion. Javi Rufo, winner of the 2022 World Magic Award, guided guests through a magically experiential tour that illustrated the harmony between exquisite design, comfort, and technological advances of the latest generation of luxury housing solutions.
