main works
Artec Studio carries out projects through three departments: lighting design, lab, and lights. We have arranged our works in this manner to guide you on a transversal tour through our most relevant projects. Below is a selection of projects within those categories.
lighting design
Artec Studio is dedicated to developing high-quality architectural lighting projects through close, proactive relationships with the design teams and clients. Shaping light, we create innovative lighting designs that enhance the architecture and its contents, while achieving the program and sustainable goals. Take a look at our most relevant projects.lights
Our lights emerge from the experience developed in our lighting designs projects and the study of the function and emotion of the light interacting with space and people. The studio, by merging research, technology and taking care of details, has developed new concepts of light. Our designs are produced by recognized manufacturers and have been internationally awarded.

Artec Studio’s lab is dedicated to exploring the most interactive, social, and artistic aspects of the light as a channel to create intangible and exciting light art content. This enables our team to shape the perception and cognition when being part of experiences, interacting with artworks, or creating identities through light.
Musée Soulages
Rodez , France 2014Instead of a formal concept, we began with an exploration of materials, light, and proportion. Architecture is built around light. The two lighting typologies are ambient (both daylight and artificial) and exhibition (only artificial).
Working closely with the architect, we designed the ambient lighting by defining the skylight geometry. In response to the visual rhythm of the exhibition spaces, the light establishes a special connection between the visitors and the artworks. To light the art, we used a track system, for which we developed three types of LED projectors.
This is the first museum in France to be illuminated with LEDs. The lighting of the "Noirs" received special attention: artwork constructed through light, which is reflected according to the engraved lines. In Mr. Soulages’ own words, "Je n'avais jamais vu mes oeuvres si bien éclairées."
