darc awards

The darc awards is an exciting new award event and Lumino is proud to be a supporting partner. Celebrating the best in international architectural & decorative lighting design, the darc awards introduces a unique new peer-to-peer voting system for lighting designers.

The first award event of this kind, the darc awards sprang from mondo*arc and darc magazines’ reputation for being the most read and respected lighting design publication in the world. 

One designer, one vote, means the darc awards form a perfect barometer for the mindset of the international lighting design community allowing these awards to look beyond simply the most efficient or most cost effective but also to reward the creative, the clever and the brave.

“I feel the darc night concept is excellent because the projects will be assessed by a wide group of international independent lighting designers and established light artists. This will reflect a truly global opinion of well informed and experienced practitioners engaging many people in the judging process rather than the normal select few. I know the team behind this will deliver something completely different and special which will be refreshing amongst the plethora of awards programmes that feel so similar.“

Nick Hoggett, Partner, DPA Lighting Consultants

Hosted on 24th September at a secret location in London, the awards night will involve light art installations, food and drink in a relaxed atmosphere making it a very magical evening.

“We’re very excited to be supporting this unique event. As an awards ceremony voted for by lighting designers, I believe it’s going to give the lighting industry a shake-up that’s been needed for a long time.”

Andrew Small, MD, Lumino Lighting
