Lightbahn is a responsible lighting design and research practice. We work with artificial light as designers, researchers, and advocates for the nocturnal environment.
Lighting design to protect the night.
And experiences to remember why.Day and night are equal halves of the same world.
The night sustains more than we typically credit it with. Ecological systems, biological rhythms, cultural identities, astronomical conditions, the physical character of a place after dark. All of it alive, all of it in relationship, all of it shaped by how much or how little light we choose to introduce.
Our work begins by understanding the full texture of what a place's night already is, the design emerges from that understanding.
