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.
Roca Barcelona Gallery
Barcelona , Spain 2009Light seeks to create sensations and movements to mimic water; fluidity, transparency and reflection. A siliconized glass slat, working as the closing material, generates a continuous glass curtain. The glass works internally with the light as a conductive element in a similar way as a tubular fiber does, simulating moving water. Material and light creates a dynamic texture controlled by a specially designed software.
These sensations of fluidity expressed on the façade connect with the theme of the showroom, that explains the history of water in the household. The lighting design is completely integrated with the architecture. Interesting perspectives are generated from the interior between the plants in negative and the luminous façade.
From a distance, one can appreciate the volumetric and sensational game expressed by the building. Scenes of subtle fluid movements are played on a daily basis.
