Highlights

In the dynamic world of design, emerging talents and studios are doing much more than merely illuminating stages and venues; they are shaping the future of design, where every beam of light and silhouette casts a narrative. Let’s explore three such trailblazers!

AMA-KO – Yoko Seyama Art & Scenography

AMA-KO, crafted by Yoko Seyama Art & Scenography, is a meditative fusion of light and sound, drawing inspiration from the concept of “Raindrums”. Berlin-based multimedia artist Yoko Seyama, alongside composer Dirk P Haubrich, transports viewers to a serene realm with fluorescent melting ice drops ringing steel drums, set to the music of Louis Couperin.
