Sabine De Schutter in interview with lighting manufacturer Hadler about their recent project.

An office space that should be like no other. That was Covivio's goal for the design of their new headquarters and co-working space in Berlin. The philosophy of the French real estate company is to redefine workspaces and combine them with sophisticated coziness. This requires harmonious interior design, and above all: well-thought-out lighting. This is where we, Studio De Schutter came into play.

Designing the Nightscape for winter cities a talk in Saskatoon Canada.

Light affects our minds and bodies in a myriad of ways. It affects the places we live in. Light helps bring people together, highlight the City’s culture and landmarks and gives the City itself a visual identity, shaping the nightscape.

However, too much light has its own evils. We need to be aware of how it alters our body clocks and how the glow of cities can affect entire ecosystems.

Join us for a presentation of the potential and risks of light. The presentation will highlight a variety of projects taking the well-being of animals and humans into account as well as considering the notion of safety with increased light.

There are roughly 8760 hours in a year and 4700 of them are dark. See the potential and embrace it!

Luminale Frankfurt – Your Point of View

We are happy to present to you our light installation “Your Point of View” for the Luminale in Frankfurt, in collaboration with Döllken lighting and Freisteel. The Luminale is a weeklong biennale for light art and urban design held in Frankfurt am Main that runs parallel to worlds largest trade fair on lighting, Light + Building.

About our light art installation:

Aesthetic sensitivity, individual attribution of meaning and personal attitude depend decisively on our visual perspective. Should we change our emotional or geographical standpoint, the temporary perception likewise changes and thus our interpretation.

Sabine De Schutter will be speaking at TIDE in Amsterdam. In her talk “When lighting design meets design thinking” she will explain, how lighting designers are architects of atmosphere and the visual experience. In this role, how does one put people first when designing for the built environment? In her talk Sabine De Schutter will illustrate with examples, how her studio has been working to integrate the users' needs and how design thinking forms a crucial part of the working process.

Lights in Alingsås 2016

This year Sabine De Schutter was invited to lead a team of 10 students on the largest workshop site ever. A challenge she took on with great pleasure.

After a week of hard work, distributing hundreds meters of cable, placing over 500 kg of fixtures and many litres of pouring rain, our installation opened to the public in the beginning of October. Our lighting installation will stay on until the 6th of November, so there is still a change to pay it a visit.
