INSPIRATIE: HOE VERLICHTING DE WAARNEMING VAN ARCHITECTUUR BEÏNVLOEDT lezingenreeks voor NAV (De Vlaamse Architectenorganisatie)

As Berlin-based lighting designers with a focus on creative projects we love to bring uniqueness, or spark of identity to a project. Custom lighting fixture design could be developing a luminaire from scratch or upgrading and adapting existing luminaires. We also offer custom solutions created from standard products used in new and creative ways. This is what we call “light hacks”.

Our design process for custom lighting fixtures includes material research, preparation of detailed drawings, and coordination with manufacturers concerning production and costs.

Featured in #trendsinlighting with our upcoming inspiration sessions for NAV (De Vlaamse Architectenorganisatie).

In these upcoming inspiration session Sabine De Schutter will explain the versatility and potential of lighting in an architectural context. Sabine will take the audience on a journey through the design process of her studio as an independent lighting designer and explains how lighting can be an integral part of the architectural concept.

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.

Our lighting solution is an infrastructure which they can adapt and expand. We carefully selected positions of tracks and spots and choose elements that are compatible with a wide variety of brands to allow for expansion in a later stage. The dimming system works over Bluetooth allowing the user to set profiles and give access to different people. They can dim the light or set scenes.

Zaakvoerder Sabine De Schutter - Studio De Schutter (Berlijn) in interview met Lumenpro.

Een carrière als onafhankelijk lichtontwerpster. Niet meteen het antwoord dat je verwacht als je aan een kind van 12 vraagt wat ze later wil worden. Dat was bij mij evenmin zo. Ik deed aan sport en vond tekenen ook wel leuk, de normale hobby’s van een kind. Al was ik ook wel geïnteresseerd in architectuur en dat is minder gangbaar. Kwam ik afbeeldingen tegen van de architectuur van Victor Horta, dan was ik helemaal in de ban. Een vroege roeping, zo kan je het wel stellen.

“Women in Lighting” is an inspirational digital platform that profiles women working in the field of lighting design. It aims to promote their passion and achievements, narrate their career path and goals, celebrate their work and therefore help elevate their profile in the lighting community.

Light art installation Your Point of View is part of the lighting festival Genius Loci in Weimar.

The 3-day lighting and projection festival stands for pushing the boundaries for lightmapping and combining storytelling with architectures. We are super excited to have our installations, the circle, the triangle and the square in public space once again.

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.
