In all our projects, our design process arises from a single motivation: the use of light as a material
artec3 Studio is a Barcelona-based independent lighting design practice with offices in London, Sao Paulo and Mexico City. Founded in 1998 by lighting designer Maurici Ginés, the studio´s creative team collaborates with well-known architects.
Working in close collaboration with team leaders and other consultants through all stages of the design process —concept design, sche-matic design, technical design, construction, and site supervision— we create new ways to perceive and experience architectural and urban space through the use of high-quality lighting design. In all our projects, our aim is to incorporate energy efficiency, the latest technology, and interaction with daylight.
Frequently, a lighting design project requires a special product for seam-less integration with the architecture. We develop bespoke luminaires to make the lighting concept a reality.
Light both evokes and conveys emotion. Using state-of-the-art technology, we create artistic instal-lations that promote and explore the interactions of light, people, sound, and space.
