About | THERE'S LIGHT | Lighting Design

There’s Light is an award-winning architectural lighting design studio based in London, merging lighting and technological innovation with design.

Founded in London 2016, There’s Light has delivered projects from the Caribbean to Europe, South America, and the Middle & Far East in designs of varying scales and uses, from commercial and hospitality to high-end residential.

There’s Light’s approach has been at the forefront of lighting advances and sustainability by adopting the principles of a circular economy, in both our day-to-day activities as well as on our projects. We reflect this at our core, from our pre-owned furniture choices to refurbished computers, we ensure our business minimises the impact on global resources, transportation networks and running costs, without compromising on comfort or technology. We approach our projects through this lens, prioritising local manufacturers and thus reducing shipping costs and emissions. Our shared values have led us not only to several forward-thinking suppliers that design their fixtures with right-to-repair, but we are also early adopters of new technologies such as Bluetooth dimming as early as 2017. These principles in practice have reduced cabling on our projects, saving copper wiring and its installation, in turn bringing down costs and commissioning needs, ultimately ensuring longevity and adaptability are at the root of our design process.

We believe in lighting: it has the ability to transform perceptions of built environments, guiding us through the spaces and narratives. It is this belief that leads us to innovative lighting solutions for our clients. At times our directive calls for a bold and prominent approach, and at other times an understated one, creating contrast and emphasising destinations.

And one more from five years ago, this time in Manchester with @daytripstudio for @blok

Another one from five years ago, our collaboration with our friends @_studio220v and @mm18arquitetura for the lighting design of the incredible @bardosarcos

From concept to prototyping, and to commissioning just before opening, this is still one of our favourite projects.

Looking back five years ago when this beautiful private residence in South Kensington completed.

We worked alongside @hgdstudio team to develop and deliver the lighting design and control system.

And one more of our bespoke wall light designed in association with @fabricate.lighting

Our approach looks into creating layers of lighting, to accentuate and celebrate the design qualities of @atisfoodldn flagship on Regent Street.

Our bespoke fixture design for @atisfoodldn stores, enveloped in perforated stainless steel, in association with @fabricate.lighting. Our collaboration is also seen in the elegant wall lights flanking the windows.

Recently completed @atisfoodldn flagship store on Regent Street, designed by our friends @daytripstudio, marking our sixth store concept together!

This store challenged us with its generous 5m ceiling height to propose a canopy of light with a bespoke fixture enveloped in perforated stainless steel, designed in association with @fabricate.lighting. Our collaboration is also seen in the elegant wall lights flanking the windows.

Check out @ceramicabrennand store from 21/05 - 28/07 at @casacor_oficial in São Paulo. @renatapatelliarquitetura design is clearly influenced by the incredible ceramics of @oficinafranciscobrennand whose store they have beautifully crafted for this year's exhibit.

We looked at the works of Luis Barragán and James Turrell, their intrinsic connection with light, saturation and colour leading us to propose a lighting design concept "illuminating from within" with high contrast ratios and a cool colour temperature range, elevating the products to artworks.

Recently completed project @ceramicabrennand in Brazil with @renatapatelliarquitetura at @casacor_oficial in São Paulo.

Wonderfully captured by @piercescourf on site at @tatecornerbar

From sketching, to creating a family of fixtures, our team oversaw the process from 3D printing to prototyping with our very talented artisan partners.

Inspiration for bespoke lighting, designed for @tatecornerbar bringing a piece of the urban realm into the interiors. We looked at 1970s high pressure sodium lights seen in São Paulo's iconic Paulista Avenue, and reimagined them on a domestic scale.

The conceptual vision for the space took inspiration from the monumentality of the Tate Modern itself as well as from the urban realm.

The lighting drew much of the visual inspiration from movies such as Blade Runner, with its strong contrasting scenes and overly saturated colour and warmth.

@tatecornerbar Corner at Tate Modern

Bespoke table light on the bar and for the window seating takes inspiration from utilitarian 1970s streetlights, from the form to the warm glow provided, reminiscent of high pressure sodium lighting they were originally designed for.

The space was envisioned as an extension of the public realm by our friends @hollandharvey, Corner the new café & bar, provides visitors with a place for an evening drink by the river for the first time.

We worked closely with @hollandharvey on the conceptual vision for the space and took inspiration from the monumentality of the Tate Modern itself as well as from the urban realm.

The lighting drew much of the visual inspiration from movies such as Blade Runner, with its strong contrasting scenes and overly saturated colour and warmth. This can be seen through the implementation of directional light and low-level integrated light within the plinths.

The conduit-like suspension system and spotlights are deliberately positioned among the ceiling services, melding with the surrounding pipework, ducts and vents, creating a strong visual datum line above and a sense of calmness below with subtle washes of integrated and decorative lighting.
