The aim of this years seminar is to find the lighting design "ikigai". The seminar sets focus on a building as a whole, offering insight to holistic lighting design practices. In order to create a versatile discussion, we have invited three of the leading professionals in Europe to spark curiosity and inspire the audience on their own lighting design journey. The day will conclude with a panel discussion, bringing all the voices together.
