The studio

Studio Incandescence designs light, image and object, and every project starts as research.

The studio works with architects, event agencies and brands, from the first sketch to the parametric model, the prototype and the installation. Its tools are computational: Rhino and Grasshopper to generate form, real-time engines to animate it. Its workshop in Paris prints, machines and lights the prototypes before anything is built at scale.

Each project brings together the people it needs: designers, engineers, fabricators and industry partners, in Paris and abroad.

For architects, event agencies and brands, from the first sketch to the installation.

• Architectural light — Light that reveals architecture and its surroundings, by night.
• Parametric geometry & media façades — Where the façade becomes a screen and the pattern becomes a calculation.
• Luminaires & light objects — The object that carries the light, from a stadium fixture to a numbered lamp.
• Research & technology — Devices that did not exist until a project asked for them.
• Scenography & shows — The staging of an event, where light, image and space tell one story.
• Mapping, VJ & real time — Image projected, performed and generated live, at any scale.
• Parametric design — Patterns, reliefs and ornament computed rather than drawn.

1. Reading — The site, the use, the intention: we read the place and the brief before drawing.
2. Sketch — Lighting strategy, atmospheres and first drawings, validated with the architect or the brand.
3. Parametric model — Form and light are computed: simulations, variants, schedules.
4. Prototype — Mock-ups, samples and light prototypes are made and tested in the workshop.
5. Delivery — Fabrication follow-up, installation, programming and fine-tuning on site.
