The Light Collab team recently attended this year’s darc session, hosted by darc media on Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam. Over four days, hundreds of participants came together for keynote presentations, panel discussions and meetings with lighting suppliers. Despite the rain and overcast skies, the event was filled with learning, laughter and meaningful exchanges in an incredible setting.
Enlighten Europe 2026 ran for two days in Paris this past June, and it brought together lighting designers from all over — each with different experiences, different challenges, different ways of working. Being in the same space, you could feel just how varied this discipline is, and yet how connected everyone still is by the same underlying questions.
At the recent LIT Lighting Design Awards 10th anniversary ceremony, our Design Director Annie Eng delivered a five-minute lightning talk to an international audience of architects, designers, and industry leaders.
At the end of June, the Light Collab oversea team came together in Singapore for a few days of collaboration and knowledge sharing. One of the highlights was a hands-on workshop held in partnership with Luci PTE LTD, where we explored the subtle yet powerful relationship between indirect lighting, materiality and surface texture.
