This talk explores a human-centred approach to lighting design, shifting the focus away from architecture-driven solutions and toward what people truly need to thrive. By reframing the traditional lighting paradox, it places human experience and wellbeing at the core of every design decision.
Participants will gain practical tools to understand how artificial light shapes human experience and influences the nervous system. The session examines how carefully calibrated, tailored lighting schemes can enhance comfort, health, and emotional response, and even customer decisions, while poorly designed lighting can undermine even the best environments.
By attending, designers will learn how to develop lighting strategies grounded in a holistic understanding of human perception and behaviour—enabling them to create spaces where lighting actively supports wellbeing and becomes a positive, defining element of the environment.
Learning objectives:
Spending her childhood growing up in the beautiful country Italy surrounded by the magnificent and beautiful buildings inspired Arianna to study Architecture and to complete a Masters Degree in Architecture for Sustainability. Arianna explored her interest in lighting through her thesis titled:Light as an Instrument of Urban and Social Regeneration. In 2012, Arianna moved to the UK to fulfil her dream of a career in Lighting Design.
Before joining us in early 2019, Arianna had gained valuable experience working with established lighting design companies in the UK. Her portfolio includes many UK and international projects such as high-end residences, superyachts, cruise ships and 5-star hotels.
In 2017, Arianna was a recipient of Lighting Magazine’s prestigious ’40under40’ award.
